Scarlett, is a girl who has lived her entire life under her overprotective, over bearing parents thumb. She moves in with her best friend Evie their first year of college. There Evie, helps her transform into the girl who has always been hidden deep down, behind her frumpy clothes and unsure attitude.Let's step on the subject that these girls, like most of us, are book addicts. They love Kellen, and Travis and we even get some references to the Red Room of Pain, these girls are straight up obsessed with the book boyfriends, and sometimes that was great, and sometimes it took away from the story a bit.. For me anyway..We meet Ashton early on. He is a roommate of Evie's cousin Jess, Ashton is the playboy.. He's beautiful and he's sweet but he as a string of girls on his arm.. He makes it clear he is into Scarlett from the beginning, but then pulls the "we need to be friends because I don't want to taint you" bull crap we have read about before.. but not before nicknaming her butterfly, and it's a beautiful nickname he tells her "butterflies symbolize various things across different cultures; however, the most common association is that of metamorphosis, or a time of transformation and change". I thought it was sweet and even had ME falling for Ash.Bring in Dylan, who she meets right after Ashton. He's more of her rebound jealous maker, he's cute but we don't really know how she feels about him. Which kind of drove me crazy when all of THAT came to a head.Mason.. Ohhhhh Mason.. Okay, so I have a thing for the bad boys in these books. He's a rock star, he's hot and he's sweet and he falls in love with "Sam" the first time he sees her.. I loved mason, unlike Ashton we get the feeling that his feelings are true for Scarlett.. He wants to protect her, and he wants to take things slow and he goes out and buys a motorcycle because SHE mentions that she thinks it will bring him the total bad boy image.. He makes you melt, he makes you root for him, even if you are unsure if you are Team Ashton or Team Mason, you feel for him.. Especially in the end...I loved this book.. Evie broke my heart, but all I can hope for is that Scarlett in the next books, finds the man she wants to be with and stays with him.
