I enjoyed this book so much I finished in one day, couldn't stop! I loved the Book Boyfriend references and the one liners between Evie and Scarlett, were funny, really funny. The relationship between these two best friends was touching and real. The bond was amazing. The idea of a contest to find their real life book boyfriends was intriguing. I mean seriously, "Game on. May the best book whore win." LOVE IT! Scarlett with her lack of understanding and experience with the male species was hilarious! Living her sheltered life, attending an all girl's private school, with anal retentive parents, has left her clueless. THANK THE HEAVENS for Evie! Thank God for college!!! The adventure begins....the girls set out on a mission, Makeover Scarlett! Evie is supportive, understanding, funny, loyal and just a great best friend, Scarlett is nave, musically talented, and looking for some life experience in the male variety. Enter the men, oh my! How do you choose? Team Ash or Team Mason....I am not sure at all. Dylan who??? Not even a blip on my radar. I went from being Team Ash to Team Mason so many times while reading that I had emotional whiplash. I totally felt for Scarlett. On top of the love issues she is facing, she looses someone she loves unexpectedly. Where this story starts out lighthearted, steamy and funny, it evolves into something very emotional and gut wrenching mid way. The dialogue between the characters in this book is so real, the writing, the character development, the plot, all fantastic! The flow was so fantastic that time passed and I was like, Whoa how did that happen I just lost another 2 hours....This is a read that you will want to read when you have the time to devote to reading non-stop! I moved non-stop into Ambrosia, cause I can't wait to see what happens next. LOVED IT!! I give this one 6 Stars!!!Favorite Quotes:"Cheese and rice, Scarlett, you go from telling me you are scared to talk to a college boy to telling me you want to find an older man that's into bondage and whips I'm not sure if there's a local Billionaire BDSM club that we can just waltz in and make our selection," - Evie"I started laughing uncontrollably at her last comment as I envisioned the two of us walking up to an office building trying to find our version of an ultimate. She was right, I needed to take baby steps before I found myself blindfolded and restrained to a cross on a wall trying to remember my safe word, anticipating the crack of a whip across my skin" - Scarlett"There he was concerned that I had been abused as a child while I was fantasizing about a hidden red room of pain" - Scarlett"Every so often in life, you randomly cross paths with someone that touches you in a way that you really can't explain, but somehow you know that you will never be the same again. A person that is unknowingly, so incredibly beautiful, both inside and out, that they truly take your breath away. Recently, I met someone exactly like that. As a matter of fact, I'm still not convinced that she isn't an angel here to protect me from myself and the rest of you crazies" - Mason"There's a Psyche for every Eros, an Elizabeth for every Darcy, an Abby for every Travis,""There could not be a better portrayal of you, Scarlett, than a butterfly. Butterflies symbolize various things across different cultures; however, the most common association is that of metamorphosis, or a time of transformation and change."LOVED THIS BOOK <3
