The Unbecoming of Mara dyer is about a girl who was in an accident where she was the only survivor. To get away from all the memories of her dead friends, Mara and her family move to Floridia, where they try to start a new life. Mara is suffering from PTSD and trying to remember what happened the night of the accident. When she meets Noah Shaw, a boy who seems to know more about her than he should, she wants to learn more about him.
The characters in this story are really great, I really want to be friends with some of them and some of them I want to kill. I really like Mara because she's really funny and smart, although she is quite an unreliable narrator. I also really like her two brothers, they're just so sweet and you can really tell that they love Mara. I just wish that Mara could tell them what was going on in her life. A character I felt kind of iffy about was Noah, at times I really liked him but other times he was your typical bad boy, who doesn't care about anything. I really like, how as the story progresses we get to know about him and why he is the way he is.
This book was really creepy and when I mean creepy I mean creepy. You never knew what was real and what was not and some of Mara's hallucinations were really scary. After I finished this book, I felt really different and anxious and I've never really read a book that's made me feel this creeped out .
I really enjoyed the descriptions of the hallucinations and the writing style of the story. Although I did feel that at times, the dialogue was kind of forced. Michelle Hodkins wrote some really pretty descriptions that I really enjoyed, but I felt sometimes it felt out of place, also I felt like she was using way too many fancy words that weren't really needed because they slowed the story down.
overall I really enjoyed this book. Highly reccomend and I gave it 4/5 stars on Goodreads
