Marlowe Banks, Redesigned

A Novel

De: Jacqueline Firkins

Narrado por: Lauren Fortgang

In Marlowe Banks, Redesigned, Jacqueline Firkins wonderfully captures the messiness of failure, forgiveness, and embracing a second chance on life and love.

Marlowe Banks’s life has come apart at the seams. Her engagement ended abruptly. Her latest costume design was shredded by critics. Her student loans are overdue. Her parents have never been more disappointed. Desperate to hide from her failures, Marlowe flees New York City to embrace invisibility in Los Angeles as a menial Production Assistant on a popular TV show. While sorting socks and taking care of her boss’ spoiled Weimaraner, no one can confront her poor artistic choices or the end of her engagement, the end her ex refuses to accept.

When a costume mix-up requires Marlowe to step into in a scene, the camera catches a heated look between her and Angus Gordon, the show’s arrogant bad boy, thrusting Marlowe into the spotlight. As the pair is forced together on set, Marlowe learns she’s not the only one hiding. Walls come down for both of them, revealing a life Marlowe isn’t sure she’s ready for, and when her past comes calling, she has to decide if she’s going to stay invisible or if it’s time for a redesign.

Sweet girl positive book

Something I would recommend to young adult women and their mothers to break out of gender role stereotypes in relationships. Taking responsibility and the reins and stop accepting bare minimum. Why not reach for the stars and be yourself?

Noice

The book was very captivating and I loved the story especially all the jokes told

Loved this!

I’ve only seen good reviews for this so I had to grab the audiobook! I enjoyed the narration and really liked this story. I loved the second chance for Marlowe and how she learns all about the assumptions she’s making about Angus. I just adored Angus! I’ve been really enjoying celebrity romances this year, but he was new book boyfriend material!

My Favorite Romance of the Year So Far!

A quick paced and fun read about a woman trying to find herself in the sometimes not-so-glamorous world of the film/TV industry. The love interest is appropriately swoon worthy and both characters had me rooting for them. Kept me listening way too late into the night!
