Well this was a pleasant surprise. I have had this book sitting in my kindle for awhile and I just hadn't gotten around to it. When I saw everyone posting about Euphoria I knew I had to get reading.Scarlett is an interesting character. She has had a completely sheltered life and her only saving grace was her BFF Evie. The best thing for Scarlett was going away with Evie to college and getting to spread her wings.I loved the book boyfriend discussions between Evie and Scarlett. It was so enjoyable because I have read and loved the books they mentioned. I found the try a new type of BB every weekend to be an enticing setup. What I didn't expect was the book to end up being somewhat of a love triangle.So I really am not gonna say much about Dylan because, well, he didn't start any fires for me. But Ash and Mason, well, that is a whole different story. Ash frustrated me during this book and surprisingly Mason wound up being the more stand up guy IMO. They both have their positive points but it really is only Mason that I saw make an effort to actually be with Scarlett. OK, yes the epilogue is Ash's POV did get to me, but not enough.Scarlett was a little disappointing as a heroine. Her indecision was somewhat annoying but I get how the heart, head and body can all get confused, especially with all the experiences being new and her being so young.Somewhat disappointing is the twist in the story. I figured something was gonna happen. Disappointment came in that except for Max, I never had the gut wrenching experience I love in these NA books. Scarlett's decision at the end, on the other hand, definitely got to me. I am so glad that I don't have to wait to read the next book.
