rating: 4.75-beautifully heart-breaking-starsMetamorphosis is a book that will have you all over the map with your emotions. I laughed (because Scarlett and Evie are hysterical), swooned, squealed in delight and cried uncontrollably. This book will play with your mind-I love this one no wait now I love that one, wait, wait I changed my mind AGAIN!!! It is a rollercoaster ride on your heart.Scarlett is a very sheltered girl (sheltered by her parents'-this girl couldn't do s*** without your parents permission and most of the time the answer they gave her was NO) that is getting ready to leave for college. She is lucky enough to be going with her BFF Evie. The girls are avid readers, love their book boyfriends and refer to themselves as little book whores (hmm, reminds you of anyone???)Once at college Scarlett undergoes a head-to-toe make over-the works hair, make-up, clothes, and other essential parts are given an upgrade. Having been so sheltered Evie makes a bet with Scarlett to entails picking up a different "book boyfriend" each time the venture out. Evie and the transformed Scarlett make their way to their first college party in which they go looking for their first book boyfriend type.  Hmm, I wonder who they will meet-the preppy, the rocker, the millionaire, the bad boy, the pretty boy, etc. etc.Now that Scarlett has gotten a taste of freedom and boys she continues to mingle and meet new boys-they just seem to fall at her feet. She has so many she doesn't know what to do with them-I know, I know!! This is where your teams come in-your two main book boyfriends Ash and Mason. She balances them for most of the book quite nicely (I wish I could say that for myself) but eventually she gets all tangled up in emotions and feelings and has to think and decide things. While she is contemplating her men and being all "la la la I have two hot men...oh so awesome la la la" this happens BOOM!!!!!!!! WTF! OMG!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! And then I am hysterical (someone bring me a HUGE box of tissues!!!) Why? Not telling you.  But this is life changing for Scarlett and she the things she thought mattered in life suddenly don't and it's all a bit too much for her.Author Erin Noelle pays a bit of homage to some great books and book boyfriends in this book. I found the whole bit about the book boyfriends hysterical and sooooooo relatable.-especially the "ultimates"! OMG, you will be shaking your head yes and laughing to yourself because you know we all thought the same thing!! I was so caught up in this book and lived it for a few days.  You might need to self-medicate so have some wine on hand. Erin did a fantastic job with sucking me into the story of Scarlett and I cheered her one while she finally got to experience life and then I cried with and for her when her life takes an abrupt turn-like ugly cry where you can't see or breathe and looking then I was around the room for someone to tell me why this happened. Oh, then there is the family going "Um, it's only a book!" They so don't understand!!Be brave go read this book and then tell me what team you are on! #TeamAsh #TeamMason or #TeamConfused <--that's me confused!! Good thing there is a sequel coming out this summer called Ambrosia. I can't wait!!! :)
