Sweaty palms, heart palpitations, and anticipating thoughts are happening, as it is minutes before the school bell is about to ring to start the day! Not just any day, but my first day of sixth grade! I can feel my heart beating like a drummer playing the drums as I walk toward Room 1218. Oh! What could possibly be waiting for me once I pass through the doorframe to Miss Redd''s classroom? Oh! What could she possibly be like? What if she is not expecting me? Oh! What a terrible thing that would be! What if I''m in the wrong class? Oh! What a mess that would be! Oh! What a terrible first day of school that would be! What if I can''t find my desk? What if I don''t have anyone to eat lunch with? What if I don''t have anyone to walk to lunch with? Would Miss Redd walk with me?

All these different thoughts came rushing through Geoh''s mind once again as he walked to his new classroom. Then, as he entered the doorway, he suddenly heard, "Hello, Geoh!" Geoh thought to himself, She knew my name without even asking me! She must be a superhero! Could it be? Geoh''s eyes immediately took notice of the many new things filling the walls of his new classroom with Miss Redd. He thought to himself, Oh! What a year it could be! Thoughts came flying through Geoh''s mind like a fiery jet on a sunny blue-sky day! He thought just maybe that today might go his way if he would just try to do his best! Maybe Room 1218 could really turn out to be the best room he''s ever set foot in yet! Standing at the doorway, looking around and at his new classroom, Geoh began to think, Oh! What a year it could be! Oh! What a year it could be!

Utterly--love can drive a person to do almost anything. Is it love? Or is it a completely driven, dark-focused obsession? More than just a typical college romance, this is about a beautiful, extraordinary young girl by the name of Paulina Cattleya Drake, a freshman now entering college who tries her best at first to navigate her way out of a tumultuous breakup with her controlling and obsessed boyfriend. Like most girls heading off to college, Paulina is doing her best to balance school, work, family, and friends, but not always does life allow it to happen in that order. Paulina simply wants a fresh new start.

Raised in a great home with loving parents, Paulina realized it was the unforeseen choices that others close to her made that impacted her most that were not in her control. In the midst of all that unexpected conflict, she finds herself thinking about what seemed too good to be true when she meets Dr. Lucas Ray. Not only is he the new assistant football coach, but he is also the new prominent pediatric doctor at Wings of Saints Hospital right in her hometown of Purle. He was the answered prayer in her life through all the hurt and mayhem she was striving to rise above. And she, well, she was like a breath of fresh air, breathing life back into Lucas, after the passing of his parents. She was a bright light to him. She was his angel.

Their love felt as though it was being torn and challenged at every turn by the constant twists and manipulations from the fires brought on by Paulina''s toxic past relationship and, to their surprise, someone from Lucas''s past as well. See how Lucas and Paulina have to fight to be together as the pages turn and keep you on your toes! Their compelling connection and sweet, tender moments will make you never want to stop reading and anticipate book 2! Paulina''s faith is tested and stretched, and Lucas grows out of his unconditional and undeniable love for her.

Does love truly never fail?

This is Utterly.
