Book Review: The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by: Michelle Hodkin

It has been awhile since I posted a book review, so I thought that it is about time that I do so. It has taken me forever to get around to writing this review, but I hope you enjoy anyway.

Synopsis: Goodreads

Mara Dyer doesn’t think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.
It can.

She believes there must be more to the accident she can’t remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed.
There is.

She doesn’t believe that after everything she’s been through, she can fall in love.
She’s wrong.

Review: (3.5 stars)

I kept hearing all about how good the Mara Dyer books were. It seemed everyone loved them, so I decided to give it a shot.

I’m iffy with this book. I liked it, but didn’t love it. I don’t like it, but I don’t hate it either. I’m stuck in the middle. There are moments that I was really into it, but moments where I was annoyed. The plot is what kept me reading because I wanted to know more about Mara and Noah. About what they can do. But that was really the only thing that kept my attention.

Mara in the beginning, I liked her, but then she just turned straight annoying and I couldn’t stand her. I don’t know what happened for me to change my opinion on her, but I became really annoyed with her.

Noah is a different story. I liked him right away and I stayed liking him. Actually, as I continued to read, I liked him more and more.

Overall, I liked it and yet I didn’t. I have my problems with it. I don’t see why it was so hyped about. When I start a series, I finish until I’m done reading every book, but with this one I had to take a break before I get around to the second one. I will finish the series, but I don’t know when I will get back to it yet. It is an interesting read, don’t get me wrong. I hope it gets better in the second book.
