My Life as Marlee: A Coming of Age Romance Kindle Edition

by Victoria Anders (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 29 ratings

Everyone has demons.
Some bigger than others.
Will love heal the scars caused by her demons?


I’m officially an insane hermit, thanks to my best friend moving 1,000 miles away. Starting my junior year as a total loner was not in my plans. I spend days eating lunch in the library and nights trapped in a nightmare.

When my secret crush asks me out, my entire world changes. Living in Noah’s rich world is so far out of my league, but he eases my rough nights, and I settle in with a new crew of friends.

But it seems things are too good to be true.

As my dating life explodes, my home life heads toward the opposite end of the spectrum, like total implosion with each little detonation taking it deeper and deeper, causing the nightmare to spiral.

Demons like to come back and haunt.

Am I strong enough to fight them?

Originally a born and bred Atlanta chick, I currently reside in the land of sunshine and barely a winter just north of Tampa, Florida with my hubby and two crazy barking dogs.

I'm super excited to share the My Life Series, tales about teens dealing with real-life situations, from death to love to family issues to discovering who they are.

    Marlee's best friend has moved away and now she's feeling a little lost at school. Sure she has friends but they're mostly casual. Enter Noah, he definitely wants to be Marlee's friend, and more because he's had a thing for her for years. He comes with some ready-made friends that Marlee instantly bonds with. The connection with Noah is instant and deep, things would be really great if her mother weren't getting sick again. Marlee is also carrying some scars of her past and she needs to find a way to get through the pain so she can move forward, which is also easier said than done.

    So Noah is pretty perfect as far as Marlee is concerned (me too if we're being honest here). He's caring, attentive, and he's not afraid to show how he's feeling. Which is good and bad for Marlee because she's scared for more. The past she has been through has made her a bit insecure, she's not entirely trusting that when someone says something, that they mean it. She has PTSD and as a fellow sufferer, she handles it very well.

    My Life as Marlee has "Marlee's Life Lessons" which she writes to herself as a reminder. They are positive, encouraging, and probably something people might need to hear. I think my favorite one starts off by saying "We are who we are because of our past. Don't let it drown you in shallow waters." That couldn't be truer.

    I've loved reading this series to date and am so excited that Anders has more in store for her readers as I've grown fond of Marlee and Noah and I look forward to seeing them in future books. Readers can expect characters that are multi-dimensional and completely relatable, people you can picture hanging out with. A great storyline with excellent storytelling, very well done!

    Starting the new school year without her best friend by her side is hard for Marlee. Without Ellie, she decides to avoid the party crowd (also known as the psychonauts) and make new friends.

    But before Project Friendship, takes off, Marlee finds she has a new admirer of the male species.

    Noah and Marlee’s relationship represents the innocence of all things first love related, but there are deeper issues of Marlee’s backstory struggling to resurface. A scar across her neck she tries to mask with chokers, a repetitive nightmare that keeps her up at night and awful panic attacks she can barely get through.

    Will Noah’s love be enough to keep Marlee’s past scars at bay?

    An intense love story filled with tons of drama. I loved all of the secondary characters just as much as the primary ones, and I am excited to read their stories next. I will say, the conflicts between both Aliyah and Jen could have been fleshed out a bit more to create a rocky ride. It seemed every time Noah and Marlee hit a bump in the road, the conflict was smoothed out rather quickly and the road to paradise was clear again. I guess I would have liked to see heavier storms as it’s often the case with young kids and new love.

    Overall, a great read and I’m very excited to read about Marlee’s dad next!

    Life can be hard, especially as a teen. Sometimes it’s the fault of others or just bum luck. This is a great book about a high schooler who endures, overcomes, and relishes her life. Humans need other humans even at 17 and this book illustrates how hard connecting with others can be. Marlee is an endearing person you’ll enjoy getting to know. I especially enjoyed how she overcame her demons with an honest attitude that is rare in many an older person. And as someone who was a mature 17 year old, I am glad the author enabled her to be more adult than young-adult at the end. It made me think of my friends who found their true love in high school and are still with them decades later.

    An emotional journey that had me hooked from the first page. Full of love, loss, forgiveness and so much more. I thoroughly loved reading Marlee’s journey with her life how she discovers courage, strength, love and forgiveness. The story was full of so many great and valuable lessons. It was real and vulnerable. A fantastic ya contemporary romance!

    This was a good story. I really liked Marlee, Noah, her friends, and her mom. The dynamics between all of them and her life in general were believable and realistic. The ending was a surprise to me and a good one.

    I do think the book was a little long and probably could’ve been worked into two books, and there were a few confusing typos at the end with Noah’s last name that threw me off. But if you like long epic love stories with happily ever afters, then this book is for you.

    My Life as Marlee is my favorite book in this series yet! I absolutely loved finally getting to meet Marlee and her friend Ellie. Seeing Noah and Marlee fall in love and watching their relationship grow was wonderful. We get to see them navigate coming into adulthood and how to stay independent when they have such strong feelings for each other. All of Marlee's life lessons were cute to read and I loved the ending of the story. A great plot and amazing characters. I can't wait for more of Victoria Anders's writing in My Life as Harper.
