Rating: 5 out of 5

I absolutely loved this book!  Everything - the concept, the writing style, the characters, the emotions.Scarlett MacGregor has lived an extremely sheltered life thanks to her parents - she went to an all girls school, was never allowed to talk to boys or go to parties, the only fun she had was with her best friend, Evie, who lived across the street.  When Scarlett graduates high school, she finally stands up to her parents and informs them that she is going off to college with Evie, and that's when the fun starts.Scarlett and Evie LOVE to read romance novels (who doesn't?) and they come up with a game to help Scarlett figure out what kind of boy is her "type", since she has no experience whatsoever in that department.  Each night they go out, they are to find a guy that fits a certain "book boyfriend" category - All-American frat boy, hot professor, bad boy rocker, etc.  Scarlett does pretty well in the game, ending up with 3 different guys that she is torn between - the good guy that she should want, the bad boy who "coaches" her, and the man whore she thinks she loves.  Who will she end up choosing?Did I mention that I loved this book?  Every single character was awesome.  I was a little annoyed with Scarlett at times the way she was leading some of the boys on, but it worked out in the end.  I loved the references to other books (some I didn't know and were quickly added to my TBR), great music, and the mention of some of our favorite book boyfriends.  Scarlett grew up a lot her first semester of college, learning about love, sex, heartbreak, and tragedy - she's no longer the innocent, nave girl she once was, and I enjoyed going on that journey with her.  I'm still undecided what team I'm on, but I'm leaning more towards Team Angel at the moment ;-) Maybe Ambrosia will help me decide...
