When Bella meets Edward for the first time as her roommate Alice's brother, it's a mutual dislike. The two just don't seem to get along—their initial meeting is quite humorous actually, with kool-aid all over Edward's hair ;-). But they both have their significant secrets and pasts deep inside of them—one that they do not show in front of anyone. It's their broken spirits that they can somewhat connect with, and that's what brings them closer. College life is great and all, but Bella's dream had always been to become a dancer... something that is now no longer possible. So almost every night, she sneaks out and lives life the way she wants, just for a couple of hours—nothing can happen, right? On the other hand, Edward had just moved in to Washington all the way from L.A., and re-starting his life all over again wasn't something easy, especially when he had demons of his own. He sneaks out at night too, living a side of him that is completely unknown to others: a graffiti artist, and such a fantastic one at that! Will the two of them reveal their secrets to each other and find love in the process? Or will the harsh realities of their life prevent that from happening?

MandyLeigh87 creates yet another fabulous piece of fiction with Secret Life. This story is nothing like you think and will have you hooked from the very first chapter. The unexpected twists and turns are almost like reading a mystery novel, leaving you wanting to find out what happens next. As all of MandyLeigh's stories are, this one also has an amazing plot and it isn't hard to fall in love with the characters—each of them with their significant personalities. The fanfiction is written in both Edward and Bella's perspective, so it's easy to connect with them as the events of the story unfold. What I absolutely loved about the fic, though, was the fact that both our main characters are extremely strong. Although they initially hide their natural selves to each other, the readers realize that it isn't something easy to deal with and the strength combined with pure love between the couple is what makes the story so realistic. The story is a HEA, so for those of you who hesitated on the story because of that, don't worry! This fic is definitely worth a read—go give it a try!

Secret Life consists of 25 chapters and a total of 111,359 words. The story is rated M for language and sexual content.
