Catherine ♡'s Reviews > The Avery Shaw Experiment

1. Avery is an awful main character. She’s stereotypically the clueless, smart (but doesn’t know it), beautiful (but doesn’t know it), humble, modest, shy damsel in distress. She also cries every other page and spent 80% of the book pining over Aiden. Her insistence that she was in love with him was the most annoying thing ever.

2. Grayson was an inconsistent character. It seemed as though the author wanted him to be that uncaring popular badass, but also wanted him to be pining for Avery the entire book. The result: we were told he was the former but shown he was the latter. Also he punched someone and the physical violence was glorified, which I am not down for.

3. Aiden was also an asshole. Which is the point. But some more three-dimensionality would’ve helped.

4. There’s no way the teachers would actually allow (much less love) the premise of this “experiment.” I call BS on the book’s plausibility.
