Third Degree is a delightful story of growing up even if its after you already have your doctorate.How many kids can't wait for their 18th birthday so they can become a practicing doctor? Isabel Jenkins was that child prodigy. She was on the fast track to become a surgeon when a psychological evaluations obliterates her plans. The councilor said that Isabel never developed emotionally by interacting with her peers and is denied the residencies she was banking on.Since Izzy is still 18, she decides to return to college as a freshman. Hoping to learn to interact with others and regain her chance at the residency.Izzy meets her R. A. Marshall Collins on her first day and he immediately recognizes Izzy but vows to keep her secret. Marsh takes Izzy under his wing and tries to help her interact with her fellow students. Her initial attempts are disastrous, humorous for us to read but still devastating for Izzy.Izzy's and Marsh's relationship grows but its a difficult and bumpy road with a few unexpected turns.Marshall's family was the bomb, you couldn't help but adored them.I found Third Degree slowly sucked me in, having me glued to the pages by the end.This was an utterly delightful, endearing and heart felt story of finding oneself and love. Cross brings us romance, humor and heart felt emotions through her fabulously constructed characters. We are given a look at the struggles and internal conflicts of a person with Aspergers. I found Third Degree a perfect New Adult read.
