The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is about a girl, Mara, that has no memory of how she got into the hospital. What she thought was an accident- that only she had survived- had turned her life into a nightmare. She soon learns that the accident had not only killed her boyfriend and his sister, but Mara's best friend Rachel. But how was she the only survivor? After moving away from her hometown, life was not about to get any easier. She meets Noah- who she soon calls an "asscrown"- the unavoidable bad boy of the school. Not only does she not want to fall in love with Noah-she can't help it- she doesn't want him involved with her dark and isolated life. After a series of events she was able to open up to the one person who can truly understand and help her. But how far will they go to understand what really happened?
This bone chilling page turner had me reading well into the night. An original dark and twisted thriller had me guessing until the last page and there after. I can't wait until the sequel for this comes out in October. This is something that will always be on my shelf to read over and over again.
At. 23, some might consider me old for Young Adult (YA) books, but I believe that this category of books capture what I crave in them the most. They have endless possibilities of what life might encounter. I want to put here what I accrue from my journey into the world of YA. The young at heart live on forever.
