Noah Andrews hates to lie, but that's exactly what his life is. One big lie.
At least that's how he feels as a nerdy, closeted, gay high school senior in a suburban North Carolina town.
But after months of fretting and hiding behind his quotes, Noah finally does it. He comes out to the world, and realizes he had nothing to fear after all. With his lies behind him Noah is ready to take on his new future.
On the same night Noah gets a message from an anonymous boy with a crush on him, and all his dreams begin to come true.
But is Noah truly ready for what life has planned for him?
Review Quotes
2019 Best Indie Book Award LGBTQ Winner
"Greene is a tremendously talented writer and he has created characters that I cared about, characters whose happiness I found myself invested in ... A Mark on My Soul isn't a feel-good read, but it is a vitally important one." (Larry H., It's Either Sadness or Bookphoria Blog)
"I was angry, I was devastated, and I cried... Some people have the ability to "leave a mark" on someone else's soul, and this is the heartbreaking story of one such case. The main character is eighteen-year-old Noah who discovers the joy and exhilaration of first love, the accompanying emotions of hope and optimism, and the utter devastation that follows when circumstances (and a**hole people!) take it all away. I wish I could say this is only fiction and real life is better than that - but I can't. The realism is part of what makes this such a powerful novel - both the good parts and the bad. Let me warn you: it is not an easy book to read, but it is a story that needs to be told until the kind of hatred causing this type of cruelty and heartbreak stops." (Serena Yates, Rainbow Book Reviews)
"[It's] heart-breaking and magical. The love and friendship between Noah, Parker, and Cam radiates off the page ... I cried until I could no longer see through my glasses." (Charlotte Kinzie, Goodreads)
"This story was incredible, beautiful, unexpected and heartbreaking, and I would honestly let Jordon Greene break my heart all over again, just to get another read of Noah's story." (Cathrine Rossen, Goodreads)
"I loved this story ... I felt like I sat right next to Noah, getting angry with him, crying with him, being confused with him. It's one of those books ... that stick in your head even when you're not reading it." (Brittany, Goodreads)
