The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer

I was excited to read this book. Look at that cover! It's gorgeous! But I have to say, I'm not quite sure how I feel about it.

Book Description...
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.

 I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this book. I loved some of the characters. They are interesting. I love the story idea of the book. It's intriguing. But honestly, I was a little confused throughout the book.  *******SPOILER ALERT******* Mara is suffering from PTSD because of the accident. And at times, I didn't know if she was hallucinating or if something was really happening. It wasn't always clear what was going on. I had to reread a few things. There are a lot of unanswered questions too. But hopefully they will be answered in the next book.
I loved Noah, mostly. He's your token jerk who turns out to be a good guy. And of course he's beautiful. ******

I will read the rest of the volumes that follow this one. I can't leave myself hanging but this book drove me a little crazy.

I can see why some people absolutely love it & why others hate it.

If you have some spare time, give this book a try. I would be interested in hearing what you think about it.
