Third Degree
Fans of Monica Murphy and Tammara Webber will savor this novel 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.

Adri's Review:
Firstly,I would like to thank Random House and NetGalley for approving us to review this story.
The way that the character Isabel is written is actually quite interesting. Though she is so young she is written with a lot a maturity, with still being able to have her true age show. Maybe the fact that she is such a prodigy, she has the maturity of those with her level of intellect. The times that her youth really shows is when she is dealing with things she cant prevent from happening. Though it was fun and interesting to see her in action when she needs to help someone, whether it is a fellow student or the man that she loves. Her passion for medicine shows so deeply.

Then we have Marshall, he is such a fun character. He has that laid back surfer kind of attitude. And his obsession with flip flops is funny... I personally live somewhere that it gets quite cold during the winter and couldn't imagine walking around in the cold weather and snow in only flip flops.
Though this story has a few moments where you worry and wonder, and well run to grab the box of tissues, but over all it was quit enjoyable and hope you give it a chance.
Happy Reading... Adri
