3.5/4 starsFirst things- I loved that author Erin Noelle played up all the different types of book boys that we have been wishing were real life. The humor in it added something extra to this book that you don't always find in books. I found this balanced out the angst. It also gave it a more viable quality to the read.So some people are going to read this book and think what's the deal with so many guys being involved. Here's the thing-- Scarlett our main character has been the good girl all her life and finally says she is going to live a little her freshman year of college. Believable? Absolutely-- I've watched countless friends do it and would probably be a tad delusional if I didn't think I rode that train myself. She is young and free from her parents-- OF COURSE she's gonna run wild! When you open the gate to the pen, the animals will roam. What I loved about her was she wasn't mousy or timid. She spoke her mind, was honest and sincere all the while trying to figure out who she was and where she wanted to go. I also like that her inexperience gave her motivation and spice.So. The guys--- HOT!!!!! You try and pick one. Ash- a player but intellectually redeeming. I did say he was hot. I think when the time comes and the right girl nicks his heart, he will be loyal and protective to a fault.Mason AKA Rat- hottie bad boy. Bad in all the right ways. Another player but can sing and rock your panties off. Damn so could Ash. Oh well. And again he's one of these guys that brings all the angst to a book cuz you know you shouldn't fall for him but dang it if won't. Will his heart be true or really love-- I'd like to think so. Next we have Dylan- you're all- American sweetheart and fine as ever. Safe, loyal, trustworthy but heck if there just isn't something missin'. He makes your heart smile though. Did I miss anyone? Well I'm sure there would have been more but a book can only be so long and there probably is some unwritten rule as to how many guys there can be before the book moves into a whole other genre if ya know what I mean. *wink*Cue the best friend. EVIE-- OMG she is the best side kick you could have. She's always got your back without lecturing and preaching. She is comfortable in her own skin to let you find your way to happiness. She's gorgeous, loyal, funny as all get out and a pillar of support. *sigh* all girls should have one of these in their life. So those are the characters. Fab cast and the development was well done. As I mentioned, we have all had them in our life at some point or at least read about them. I really felt I got who they are and where they were coming form. So much so that I definitely wanna see more of them.The story--- so has it been done before? Of course. Do we mind? Nope. That's why it's been done before. These type of reads are our escape from life. If I wanted 'real life' real life- I'd record my day. How boring and what a freakin' gong show that would be. Were there some gaps or blips? Yep. Not anything to make you put the book down. This is Erin Noelle's debut book. She's still working on things. It was a strong story though with great ideas. It flowed well. There were a couple areas that she could slow down on. But again these types of books can only be so long. There is also another book coming so there obviously are going to be some unanswered questions to leave us wanting. I will say the plot twist could have had more time spent on it. The characters involved were very important and the twist itself is quite significant.Bottom line-- is the book worth reading? Hell ya it is! Will I recommend this book-- Hell ya I will! Metamorphosis is FUN. It wasn't written to bring about world peace or save the planet. It was for FUN!!!
