Fans
of Monica Murphy and Tammara Webber will savor this New Adult novel—a story
about coming of age in the heat of the moment—from Julie Cross, the
internationally bestselling author of the Tempest trilogy.
I used to be “Isabel Jenkins, child
prodigy.” As lame as that sounds, at least it was an identity. But now I’m not
sure what I am. I just failed the most important exam of my life—the emotional
readiness test required to get into a medical residency program—and it turns
out my parents can’t stand each other. Now I’m trying to figure out how to pick
up the pieces of my life, and that means re-enrolling as a college freshman,
but this time I’m shutting the books and majoring in being eighteen.
But so far, my roommate hates me and I’m
not into the party scene. The only good thing about school has been getting to
know my insanely hot RA. Marshall Collins makes me wonder about everything I
missed while I was growing up too fast. Pretty soon we’re hanging out
constantly, but for the first time, I find myself wanting more than a
no-strings-attached physical relationship. And the lesson I really need is one
Marsh definitely can’t teach me: love. Because I’m going to be alone forever if
I don’t learn fast.
Izzy is a child prodigy/doctor/genius/surgeon at the ripe age of….19! She was one step away from living out her dreams to work at John Hopkins, when she failed her psychology test. She decides to go back to college and get some real life experiences. Since she's never been the typical average person, she struggles making friends and fitting in though. Overwhelmed and out of place, her RA, Marshall, steps in and helps her from the very beginning. Little does she know he needs her as much as she needs him!
Izzy was too virginal, without actually being a virgin. She was aggravating and started to grate my nerves. I'm not sure I would have been able to finish this book if it wasn’t for Marshall. He was a whole lot of sexiness rolled into one book, making the book for me.
Overall, this is a book that you should read if you want a book that steps outside of the box and a hot male lead. It's a fast standalone read.
