I initially picked up Metamorphosis because I heard of all the book references in it, hence the series title Book Boyfriends. Metamorphosis references Molly McAdams' Taking Chances and Travis and Abby from Jamie McGuire's Beautiful Disaster *swoon*. Ambrosia goes even further and references Kiera and Kellan from S.C. Stephens' Thoughtless series *squee*, Jack F'ing Carter from The Perfect Game by Jenn Sterling, Deuce from Madeline Sheehan's Undeniable, This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpias, and Double Time by Olivia Cunning.Metamorphosis took me on an emotional rollercoaster from the very beginning. I really identified with Scarlett, and her need to get away from her crazy strict and protective parents. I loved her best friend, Evie, and her ability to push Scarlett to live life on her own terms. I'll be honest, at first the book reminded me quite a bit of Taking Chances, but, don't worry, it was only the beginning. I was overwhelmed by this book. Seriously though, there were three insanely hot guys that wanted her, how does that even happen? The first guy we meet is Ash, the gorgeous surfer playboy with a voice. Scarlett has an instant pull to him, like literally love at first sight. At the party they go to that night we meet Dylan, the responsible hottie that Scarlett immediately gets physical with. Last but not least, we eventually meet Mason, the tattooed, pierced, bad boy lead singer of a local band.I was so confused in Metamorphosis, as I was crazily torn between the guys! I can't even imagine how Scarlett dealt with all that, but she brought it upon herself. Her relationships with all three guys were so different. Ash didn't think he was good enough for Scarlett, so they agreed to stay best friends, but they were in love with each other. They had an intense emotional relationship. Ash calls her Butterfly, and the Greek myth of Eros and Psyche is their story. I absolutely loved Ash. I didn't feel much of a connection with Dylan. He was just kind of there, and created more drama between Ash and Scarlett. Scarlett only saw him every Saturday, and although they were always making out, they were in no way exclusive. Which is why when Scarlett first meets Mason, she ends up giving him head for the first time ever. They also have an instant connection, but in the opposite way of Ash and Scarlett. This one is mostly physical. Their relationship consists of them just messing around and Mason teaching Scarlett physical things. A lot of crazy stuff goes down in Metamorphosis, but I don't want to spoil anything. It's just drama, drama, drama. It was a little frustrating at times, but she's a teenager girl who's finding out who she is, it's understandable. I kinda predicted the twist at the end, but it was still heart-wrenching all the same. And let's just say, that by the end of the book, I still didn't know who I wanted Scarlett to end up with, despite the cliff-hangery happily ever after.
