On the surface Metamorphosis is a cute and funny story about searching for the perfect book boyfriend.  The core of the story is so much more.  It is a moving story about the journey through love, loss, and self-discovery with the added bonus of a love triangle.  Or is it a love square?  Maybe a love spoke?  However you refer to the love story, Metamorphosis is captivating, entertaining, amusing, and surprising.What I really loved about this book was that there was no clear favorite in the love department.  Obviously there was more to one character’s connection than the other’s, but for me personally, between what I considered to be the two main contenders, I was Team Undecided.  I would have been perfectly happy if Scarlett ended up with either possibility.  This is usually not the case, there seems to always be one that is right for the heroine or one that is better.  I feel like there was one that perhaps was meant for Scarlett, but who says this is the “correct” choice? The other option was so worthy and true that if she didn’t pick the “correct” choice there would be no real disappointment, both are perfect for her in very different ways.  Together the three make an angst filled triangle of emotion and uncertainty, but individually each has their own wonderful and fulfilling love story with Scarlett.  And three boys? Three boys is quite possibly too much for even the most experienced to handle let alone a virginal girl just dipping her toe in the relationship and dating waters.The transformation Scarlett undertakes in this book is a true metamorphosis from sheltered inexperienced girl to independent woman who in less than a year encounters a lifetime worth of heartache.  What is truly beautiful about this story is what Scarlett does with this heartache, how she grows and learns and fights to move on from it.
