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.
Â
I used to be âIsabel Jenkins, child prodigy.â As lame as that sounds, at least it was an identity. But now Iâm not sure what I am. I just failed the most important exam of my lifeâthe emotional readiness test required to get into a medical residency programâand it turns out my parents canât stand each other. Now Iâm 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 Iâm shutting the books and majoring in being eighteen.
Â
But so far, my roommate hates me and Iâm 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 weâre 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 canât teach me: love. Because Iâm going to be alone forever if I donât learn fast.
