Review: 4.5 "I Still am not Sure How I Feel" Stars
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 12 22, 2013
I have had over 24 hours to settle down before writing this, and I needed it.Euphoria is the third book in Noelle's Book Boyfriend Series. It takes off right where Ambrosia leaves off. I continue to be somewhat frustrated with Scarlett. I really wish I knew what makes this girl so incredibly special. Since I was getting on board with Scarlett and Ash in the last book I was glad that they were working on their relationship and getting along in this book. I feel for Mason. People say he is weak and was a fool, but he was also heartbroken and distraught and made some really dumb choices. We get little bits of info about Mason and his past, never enough to truly know what his life was actually like, but I feel if we did get more info then we probably would have been able to put him in the broken category and maybe some Team Ash fans would feel for him more.The crazy thing about this book is that no one really seems to get that keeping secrets does not work, I thought they would have gotten the message from the other books, but no...Scarlett and Ash continue to keep things from each other. What I was glad for was that they could work through it much better.IMO, some great things about this book:--Because of the angst/craziness/heartbreak that shows up right around 85% into the book, I feel many have allowed that to overshadow how wonderfully Noelle writes about the process of healing and getting over major issues/traumas/problems of one's past."Remember, in the end, it's not about where you start, it's about where you finish."--Andi made for an excellent addition to this book. I really liked her character, and I was really happy for one of the characters from the last book.--Noelle does an excellent job showing us the depths one goes to when they love someone and what can come from that love."You're my end and my beginning; even when I lose, I'm winning."--Scarlett's book blog and that first letter in Chapter 25. This was probably the one thing about Scarlett that didn't bother me. I also just downloaded When It Rains and will have to read that one soon.--Ok, I don't care which team you are on, how could you not melt when Scarlett got the revised charm bracelet."You now know that you don't need either of the wings that we adorned you with to fly on your own, but they're always here for you to remind you how much we both love you"So yes, no matter what, I really did enjoy this book. I agree with others and I am angry because the emotions I felt above should have been what I felt when I got to that event which I shall not name. Instead I was very angry because I felt it did not get the amount of attention it deserved in this book, and well it just made me angry that it had to come to that.That is why this was not a 5 star review for me. I was heading to a 4 star review but since I am a sucker for great Epilogues, which I loved this one, I came up with a 4.5 and without reservation I would still recommend this book and series!!!
