Review: pretty good once you get past the cheese factor

For the first quarter of this book, I didn't know if I was going to be able to finish it.  Scarlett, the main character, begins the book on her quest to get out from under what she deems her very controlling and overprotective parents.  She went to a private all girls high school and was not allowed to date.  However, with the help of her best friend, Evie, she was able to read vast numbers of romance novels.  Thus, the "challenge" begins between the two friends.  That challenge being who can go the furthest with a different "book boyfriend" each week, you know, like the bad boy rocker, the fraternity boy, etc.  This is where I began the eye-rolling.I however, forged ahead and tried to get past this nauseating cheese factor.  Once I got past the first quarter of the book and the references to book boyfriends and every best selling romance character, the book was actually pretty enjoyable.  There was lots of angst, three hot guys vying for the attentions of Scarlett, and some good dialogue.  Main character, Ash, was pretty circumspect and spoke with quite a bit of intelligence.  The rug is pulled out from under you at one point, as well.There are significant typos, missing words and formatting issues at times that become distracting.  Three and a half stars as is.  Four stars if the editing is cleaned up.
