With Evie's help, she must figure out the difference between the three, and which one she wants, before she ends up without any of them.Metamorphosis is the beginning of Scarlett's transformation from a young, naïve girl to a strong, mature young woman and her search for self discovery and true love.

A love square?! Apparently a triangle was not enough and I'm perfectly ok with that! 

I'm Team Mason! I started Team Ash but I changed my mind! I cannot wait to read Ambrosia! 

I also have to say how much I love all the talk of book boyfriends! It really helped put us readers in her position because I'm sure we have all read most of this books mentioned and have our own lists of BBs.




 So I just reread because I'm going to start Ambrosia. Still feel the same. Team Mason completely! Ambrosia better not screw with me and my team LOL!

"Love. It's a necessary evil, isn't it? Or I guess you could say a tragic inevitability." -Scarlett 


I'm not gonna lie, at first I was hesitant. Typical girl leaves her controlling parents behind and discovers herself at college. BUT this book is anything but typical. It brings book boyfriends to another level. 

Scarlett does leave her controlling parents behind, gets an apartment with her best friend in Houston to start their college explorations. To help Sam (Scarlett's nickname) break out of her shell, her and Evie come up with a challenge. They create a criteria book boyfriend and whomever gets the furthest with their catch of the night wins and the loser has to buy breakfast. 

At their first party, Sam meets two swoon worthy men. First is Ash, and boy is it lust at first sight. Their connection is just jumping off the page. 


  "Then without breaking eye contact, he pulled my hand to his mouth. But instead of kissing the top of my hand in a gentlemanly manner as I anticipated, he lightly pressed his lips against the inside of my wrist, where the pounding of my heartbeat was about to break through the thin skin...He then reached his other hand to my mouth and pulled my lip free of my bite. I was done for. His touch ignited a first inside of me that rolled throughout my body, spreading a liquid warmth from my head to my toes, with the hottest embers settling directly between my thighs." -Scarlett about Ash 


Then at the party, Scarlett meets Dylan. 


  "His smile made my knees weak and my heart rate increase; I wanted to learn more about this Dylan - like what it would be like to kiss that perfect mouth and how his hands felt on my body." - Scarlet about Dylan


Scarlett starts to settle into a Saturday routine, dinners with Dylan and nights with Ash (as just friends). That is until she meets Mason. Bring in the hot, sexy, rocker boy and Scarlett finds herself in the middle of a passion triangle. 


  "I was then able to see the unusual steel gray color and his eyelashes that were so thick and long, it almost appeared as if he work eyeliner and mascara. his facial features were strong and masculine, a chiseled jaw line and defined high cheek bones. He had a small lip ring on his lower right lip that I instantly wanted to reach out and touch." -Scarlett's inner monologue about Mason


These three ultimate book boyfriends help Scarlett grow up and discover the passion she's only been reading about. Erin Noelle did so well that as I was reading I can only hope to find my own man like one of the two that are my personal favorites and experience this kind of passion and growing up. 

Don't be fooled though. This book has much more than just college passionate love and personal growth. There is a huge curveball and everything changes for Scarlett. 


  "It's probably best that I figure this all out now anyways because I didn't have very far to fall to feel the rocky bottom under my feet"


The book does have an ending, but you want more. Trust me. I cannot wait for the next one to be in my hands. Scarlett's story is far from over and I need to see what happens next! 


  "I used to be a girl who believed in fairy tales. You know the whole knight in shining armor riding in on a white horse that would lead me to my happily-ever-after. About eight months ago I lost hope and faith that I would ever find my prince, or to be more exact, that my prince would ever realize I was the one for him as he tried out all the other princesses. But what I discovered was that I was in the wrong damn fairy tale the whole time, chasing the wrong damn prince...All along I was wearing the wrong wings."

I give this book 4.5 stars 

I really enjoyed this book. I loved that Scarlett was a reader too and had book boyfriends and that Evie also loved them. I liked the idea of the BB challenge, it was different and cool, and definetely something I would try in real life, probably will in a couple of years, when I'm studying in a new city, after I finish college, it should be fun. So, Dylan, Ash, Mason. Dylan was just meh for me and well you know what happens. Then there's Ash, he was a total ass at times but he really really loves Scarlett. And then there's Mason whom I reaaally like, the whole bad boy thing and he cares deeply for Scarlett. What made me refrain from giving this book 5 stars what the whole ''Eau du Scarlett'' as Evie put it. I mean she had 3 guys pinning for her (that is totally normal and possible) what I found odd is that they all felt within a couple of hours of meeting her this starnge connection and vibe that she was completely different from everyone and they were in love with her in a week, when clearly they both were playboys and are used to girls all over them. I think they would have giving it time to process their feelings, it was a little insta love from their perspective for me. (view spoiler)[ Specially after Evie's death (so sad about it! wasn't expecting it at all), when Scarlett left for 8 months and came back, Ash andMason were just like oh the love of my life is back, nothing happened, 8 months are nothing. I mean you would think they may have started a life without her, specially since they all knew each other for a couple of months (hide spoiler)] If you put the last part aside it was a good book and relatable at parts, I would definetely recoomend it.
