The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
4.0

So I finished The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. Lots of people seem to either love it or hate it but I think it’s somewhere in the middle of both. The book is written in a way that is easy to read and you identify with Mara’s point of view. I enjoyed the mystery of her powers and the death of her friends but at some points it was moving far too slow and was rather making me wonder if we would ever get to know a little more about what happened. While I like the character of Noah in general, I continuously rolled my eyes at their developing relationship and especially Mara’s reaction to him. I would’ve like if the romance had taken a secondary position as opposed to Mara’s slow decent into insanity.
All in all I enjoyed reading the book though, its atmosphere and that you were continuously wondering what was really happening and what was purely a hallucination. The twist on the last pages also made me consider following this series, because I would really like to see where this will all end.
