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.

—Roni Loren, bestselling author of Need You Tonight
“I fell for quirky, brainy, socially awkward child prodigy Izzy and even more so for her sweet, compassionate, and hot RA, Marshall. I was rooting for their happily-ever-after and was sighing with satisfaction by the end.”
—Christina Lee, author of the Between Breaths series

—Krista Ritchie, co-author of the Addicted to You series
My Review:
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Third Degree by Julie Cross is hilarious. The dry humor that Izzy spouts is just fantastic. Add in she's a nineteen year-old genius medical doctor and this is such a different story.
Passionate in a fade-to-black way, funny, intense, and a little sad. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the world through this girls eyes. Marshall is a sweetheart and will have your heart-bleeding for him (not literally).
I look forward to reading more like this from this author.
