The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer | 
pickWell, without giving anything away, I‘ll just say the ending is NOT what I was expecting. This is somewhere between a pick and a so-so for me now that I‘ve actually finished it, but I do find myself wanting to read the next volume in the series which is a definite mark in its favor.
I‘m halfway through and just can‘t decide what I think
It‘s marketed as new adult mystery/thriller but I‘ve seen no evidence of that yet It actually seems to be 1/2 YA romance-I‘m not appreciating the burgeoning relationship AT ALL & 1/2 exploration of PTSD induced hallucinations & memory loss in the months following a trauma-handled VERY skillfully
But not sure how I‘m feeling overall or what to expect in the 2nd half Has anyone else read this?
pickIf you're a YA fan and like those weird supernatural elements - you're going to like Mara Dyer. The plot is a little convoluted and confusing, but if you take your time reading it and allow yourself the suspension of disbelief, you'll have a good time! The writing is well done, and I am looking forward to the next book in the series!
pickI really enjoyed this & will be picking up the second book soon! #theunbecomingofmaradyer #bookworm

pickI honestly forgot just how amazing this book is! This was a re read, so that I could FINALLY get to book 3 (after re reading book 2) because for some reason I never picked up #3 when I first read them years ago! Tamara is a very unreliable narrator, so you‘re really questioning everything and it keeps you hooked throughout! A full review will be up on my blog soon 😊😊
This is a re read for me - I first read this a few years back. I never got around to book three and I recently bought a copy, so I decided to do a re read of book 1 and 2 before starting 3
pickthe unbecoming of Mara Dyer trilogy isthe reason why I become a bibliophile ❤ you guys should definitely read this series. its a mystery thriller story with a touch of romance and family ❤
Noah grinned unevenly. "Can't wait," he said "It was an absolute pleasure, Indi. Daniel we must talk. And Joesph, it was wonderful to meet you." This has to be the best meet the family scene ever. Mara is just cringing so hard and Noah is casually charming her whole family!!
I read this after buying it for my birthday last summer. I didn't know much about it, but it totally surprised me. It's an amazing YA psychological thriller and I devoured the other two books in the next couple of months. Noah Shaw is one of my favorite book boyfriends, although to be quite honest I can't explain why I love him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Have you read this book? Do you have any psychological thriller recs? ✨
It is currently May. In Florida. It is also currently 68 degrees outside. 🙌 So unusual & so fantastically beautiful. After a week of the mid 90s 😓 this little breath of cool air is happily welcome!! I've got all the windows open and my fave candle burning, perfect conditions to try and finish this great book! Happy Saturday reading all!
Gosh, I hate when you reach a good part in your book and your lunch break ends and you're forced to head back to work... 😤 #itsalmosttheweekend 🎉
My most favorite beverage to sip while reading is definitely tea, with coffee as a close second! What's yours? 😌☕️🍂 #tealove #quoteoftheday
My afternoon plans look a little like this 🐾📖🌤
Unfortunately laundry is keeping me from reading this fantastic book right now....🤦🏽♀️ meh
I love that feeling you get when you find yourself sinking quickly into a new book. When it's instant love and you rapidly relate to the characters. As you progress, you simply cannot read the words fast enough and anticipate with earnest the unfolding storyline. I can say I already feel that familiar sense of being wholly submerged in this book and am stoked to only be on page 70 of this lengthy trilogy 🤤💗
So I posted five days ago that I was starting this, but if you can believe it I haven't picked up a book in over a week! 🙊 I've been busy traveling home to see friends and family, and to see a concert and go to the beach. In the spare time I've had, I've squeezed in some runs and done housework. Only now am I sitting down to get in an hour of reading before bed. Whew! Still excited for this book though 👍
Switching gears and putting The Silent Sister aside for a little while and picking up this book that's been on my TBR for forever!! The Silent Sister has been great so far and has me intrigued. I just don't feel like reading it right now, if that makes sense ⁉️😂 Excited to start this trilogy! I love book series and am trying to read more of them 👯
pickThis book hooked me from the very start. Unlike anything else I've ever read I found this one unusual and intriguing. The twists at the end--WOW! I cannot wait to start the next one in the series.
Riiiigghht... 😒😒

pan50 shades of terrible. Every character was either unlikable or one-dimensional, the plot, while mildly interesting, didn't really go anywhere, etc. It could have been great, but alas, it wasn't.
panWhat a way to start off my 2017 reading. And not in a good way.
*SPOILERS*
I don't know what was happening in this book. It started off interestingly. A teenage girl is the only survivor of an accident that claimed her 3 friends. She can't remember what happened, though. She finally starts to remember & what's that? VOODOO! And she kills people with her mind! And her new boyfriend is a psychic healer! *jazz hands*
Just no.
Started this last night. So far, it's very intriguing.
My group of friends did secret santa this year books only 💕 I've wanted this for a while!
pick#This was a #very #creepy read! (should have read it for Halloween) I #adored the #characters especially Mara, Noah and Daniel. The plot was unpredictable. I feel #like Mara's slow but steady deterioration into #madness was upsetting because she doubted #herself and I #think it's really #scary not knowing if you're sane or not. Did I mention I love Noah Shaw? All in all, a #great #read!
pickI really loved this book, it was mysterious and psychologically suspenseful and I really can't wait to start the next book in the trilogy. Mara Dyer is a great character, really complex.
"Today. Tonight. Tomorrow. Forever. " Noah's eyes held mine. His stare was infinite. " I was made for you, Mara."
"I could kill you."
"Then I'd die happy."
"Not funny."
"Not joking."
Reading with my favorite person ❤❤❤❤ He doesn't like when I take his picture so I have to sneak and do it. 😜😜😜
I would have laughed-the whole thing was ridiculous. But the way he said it, the way he was looking at me, was shockingly intimate. Like he knew my secrets. Like I had no secrets.

So I get that a lot of people thought that this book was too much about the relationship between Mara and Noah, and it was. However I still really enjoyed it. Noah's not the perfect Prince Charming and Mara's 'illness' is slowly taking over, giving it a creepy air and feeling that it's building to something dark and huge... and then that ENDING. p.s I LOVE this cover.
pickThis was my first time reading an unreliable narrator. I feel like I don't know which way is up... A little over half way the story threw me for a loop. I'm still not sure what happened. I don't even know what to rate this yet... I loved the romance though. So far I gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️but I feel like I have to wait until I've finished the series to know my full thoughts.
It's official! It only takes 23 chapters to fall in love with Noah Shaw!
pickI love this book. It's one of my favorites. There was not one boring part or chapter in this book, trust me. One of my favorite characters is Noah. The way the author describes him is so perfect! He's definitely every girl's dream boy. I loved it because every page will have you guessing, "What will happen next? - What will Mara do?" It was so breathtaking. I wasn't even finished with the book when I recommended it to my friend.
bailed4th time trying to read this and I failed. Oh well..
This is my 4th time checking this book out, and I'm still not sure I want to read it. Has anyone read it, is it worth it?
pickQuite interesting. It was like reading a different version of the Shatter Me series. I'm intrigued to know what happens next now😂🤓//⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
