The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer
reviewed on + 350 more book reviews


What a brilliantly written story! The entire time I read it I had felt a thrill of wanting to understand what was really going on in the head and life of Mara Dyer. Who was she in the past? Who is she now? Who are these people that she has encountered? Who are the people she cares for? - And then you get blown away bit by bit as the story gets uncovered. The thrills and questions become unraveled with answers only to leave me aching to learn more!

Mara Dyer's family recently move to Florida from Rhode Island. She doesn't remember how she was able to survive a tragic event that killed her closest friends, including her best friend Rachel. She wants to learn so many things. She is starting to see things and feels like she is going crazy. She is trying to adjust to living a lonely life without Rachel in a new school. Then this guy named Noah with a British accent in her school doesn't seem to leave her alone. Rumors surround this guy and she just wants to figure herself out, but he keeps coming around.

I can't wait to read the rest of this series now!

The only problem I really had at all with this story was all the profanities in it. At least it wasn't constant, but it was certainly within the pages.
