This story is about learning to overcome physical illnesses, your own personal struggles and be the best person and reach goals that you never thought you wanted to begin with.Isabel, aka Izzy, has always wanted to be a surgeon but is unable to pass her emotional readiness exam. This lands her taking classes in college and totally out of her comfort zone. She meets Marshall Collins, her RA, first once arriving and there is something special about him but she just brushes it off because Izzy isn’t into boys or looks or anything else.I would have to describe Izzy as socially awkward. She doesn’t know how to have a friendship or any type of relationship with anyone and it starts to blow up in her face. Her professors dislike her, her classmates dislike her, and even her roommate dislikes her. She keeps doing some really crazy things that would probably make me wonder about her too! She eventually and slowly builds some type of relationship with Marshall that I don’t even know how to describe at first but eventually it turns into a friendship. She opens up to him and explains a little about her past so he knows about her history working in the hospital.I love the build up between Izzy and Marshall! The little touches, looks and the way they try and help each other. I laughed while she was trying to help him study and they were talking about eating a taco and he just kept talking in circles. I loved it when his sisters and he came up with the list for her to have college experiences and so on. They just had such a wonderful natural flow between them that made you fall for both of them. There was always that awkward thing that Izzy would say or do though and Marshall would know how to respond or wouldn’t let it faze him.Izzy isn’t the only one with a past though… what happens when Marshall’s secrets come out?? Plus, school is only supposed to be temporary for Izzy… what happens when it is time for her to return for retesting of the emotional readiness exam??This book is definitely a must read and will keep you interested from beginning to end! I fell in love with it and couldn’t put it down! One of those that will be on my favorites for 2014 and Marshall is now a 2014 book boyfriend!
