I didn't know what to expect when I started this book.  Very quickly I saw that it was going to be a gem.  I've  read through this book twice now and I can honestly say that there isn't a thing that I don't LOVE about it.  Well except my confusion about which team I'm on... read on...Scarlett is just waiting to break away from her controlling family and even though she is sheltered and reserved she didn't go crazy and wild at the first chance of freedom from her family.  The cliché would be to see her go instant party girl which she didn't and I praise Erin for not doing that with Scarlett's character.  She has a few boys on the radar and that is inevitable because she is beautiful.  Scarlett is out there spreading her wings for the first time.  College is a new experience for everyone but for Scarlett it's a whole new world.One of my favorite things in about this book was the fact that they both loved to read!  My friends and I love to read as well and share books that we love with each other and chat about them just like Scarlett and Evie.  The fact that some of my favorite books were mentioned was really cool.  I thought that was such a great touch!When Scarlett first meets Ash I thought ok this is the guy she will end up with and this is where we are headed.  Then to find out that Ash is well let's just say less then monogamous, I figured that it was going to be about her trying to change him. Ash seems so perfect to me on so many levels.  I usually would side with the preppy good looking guy.  Ash is hard headed and really pushes Scarlett into the friend zone, since her innocence is not something he is willing to mess with.  That was a bit frustrating because I wanted them together...Then walks in Mason and darn it I was now totally confused, because I adore the bad boy rocker types. I have recently grown to really love the rockers, but I also know they aren't usually the best choice... I expected Mason to be totally full of himself.  He was already a local star and women tend to flock to the rockers.  I LOVED that Mason was way different than what I expected.  He made me swoon multiple times in this book.So the question remains am I Team Ash or Team Mason and honestly I was having a REALLY REALLY hard time deciding that, until the tour started and Ash's POV from the first time he met her was posted and that really made me think... hummmmm.... So even though I'm sitting on the side of TEAM ASH at the moment, that could change.  My heart tells me that Ash is the one for Scarlett but my head keeps saying he's a player and once a player always a player... Can he change enough to win Scarlett's heart?  We have to wait and find out the answer to that.  I beg of Erin not to keep us waiting for too long!I felt like I could identify with each and every one of the characters in this book.  Maybe not so much the triangle part but the way it is written it's so believable and to me that is what makes a book awesome!  If I cannot see it truly happening in real life it makes it harder for me to enjoy.  Throughout this book I could see each scene and ever emotion and every hardship they fell on happening in real life.Erin gets my 5 star seal on this fantastic book.  I highly recommend it and I cannot wait for the 2nd book in this series.
