Scarlett MacGregor has lived a very sheltered life courtesy of her over-the-top controlling parents. Having never been to a co-ed party, much less on a date, Scarlett has relied on her books, her music, and living vicariously through her best friend Evie to keep her sanity as she's patiently awaited her freedom from their rule.
When Scarlett and Evie go away to college, Scarlett quickly meets Ashton, Dylan, and later, Mason, and is thrown into a crash course of like, love, and lust. With Evie's help, she must figure out the difference in the three and which one she wants before she ends up without any of them.
Metamorphosis is the story of Scarlett's transformation from a young, naive girl to a strong, mature young woman and her search for self-discovery and true love.
Recommended for readers 17+ due to sexual content and harsh language.
Our 4 star review by Guest Reviewer Allison East
"The
Greek name for a butterfly is Psyche, and the same word means the soul."
Scarlett
MacGregor is our heroine in this story of love triangles, life, and book
boyfriends. She is a freshman in college and has been sheltered by her
overprotective parents. She has never been to a party, with boys. And has yet to
even go on a first date. But all that is about to change with the help of her
closest friend Evie, whom I love!
Scarlett
and Evie go off to college together bound and determined to date some boys that
are much like the boyfriends from their books. On their first night, after a
great makeover for Scarlett, they attend a party with Evie's cousin and her
roommates and here is where she meets Ash. Ash is the quintessential bad boy
player. Although Scarlett is warned, she is drawn to Ash. (as was I!) At the
party she also meets Dylan who is comparable to Brandon from Taking Chances.
Erin also references this book quite a bit, as well as many other books!
Eventually Scarlett meets Mason, the rocker bad boy and she ends up falling for
not only Ash, but Dylan and Mason as well.
We
follow Scarlett on her quest for a good life. To fill it with love, lust,
friends, heartache and most of all experiences.
What
I loved about this book was it reminded me of a lot of my favorite books tied
into one. It had a bit of Beautiful Disaster, Taking Chances, a little of
Thoughtless/Effortless, had some of The Edge of Never, but mostly it reminded me
of Metamorphosis! It was a great story all on its own. Metamorphosis literally
means a complete change of character or appearance and Scarlett does just
that.
I'm
happy to say that there will be a second book- Ambrosia. Erin is working very
hard on it and will be providing different points of view, which I love. I can't
wait and if you enjoyed any of the books I mentioned you will love this one as
well.
