It was recommended to me when I asked for recommendations for books similar to Code Name Verity. For now, let’s focus on the things that I really did like about The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. The romance was really, really annoying I’ll get to that later. I have major mixed feelings about this book on the one hand, it was a creepy, delicious, well-written, YA book, but on the other hand, it could have gone a whole other direction and probably been better for it. She sees the faces of her dead friends everywhere, and when she suddenly begins to see other people’s deaths right before they happen, Mara wonders whether she’s going crazy! And if dealing with all this wasn’t enough, Noah Shaw, the most beautiful boy she has ever seen can’t seem to leave her alone… but as her life unravels around her, Mara can’t help but wonder if Noah has another agenda altogether…” But Mara’s new start is anything but comforting. The doctors s uggest that starting over in a new city, a new school, would be good for her and just to let the memories gradually come back on their own. She wakes from a coma in hospital with no memory of how she got there or of the bizarre accident that caused the deaths of her best friends and her boyfriend, yet left her mysteriously unharmed. “ Mara Dyer doesn’t think life can get any stranger. The ornate script on the board twisted in the candlelight, making the letters and numbers dance in my head.
