Rating: 1/5 
 ***Minor spoilers*** 
 I did not have a very good relationship with this book. I went in expecting a cool paranormal fiction sort of thing (I mean, the most shelved genre for this book is paranormal/fantasy, so why wouldn't I think so?) but instead I was given a boring, stereotypical bad boy romance. 
 This book is told by Mara Dyer, as the title would suggest. She was caught up in an accident at an abandoned asylum where the building collapsed and her friends died but she didn't. Because of this accident, Mara suffers from PTSD. To have a fresh start, Mara and her family move to Florida. 
 At first, I found this book very confusing. Mara suffers from hallucinations due to her PTSD, so it is very difficult to figure out what's real and what isn't. I was really disappointed that we only got a taste of whatever "paranormal" stuff this book was supposedly about for about the first 350 pages. (view spoiler)[ I mean, it was obvious that people died because she imagined them dead. But I spent that entire 350 pages hoping that something more would happen... like the hallucinations were real and she was seeing the spirits of her friends or something like that, but nope. (hide spoiler)] 
 Instead of a paranormal book, I was given a sloppy stereotypical romance, made up of the following steps: 
 Step 1: There's a new girl at a school where everyone knows each other. 
 Step 2: Stereotypical hot bad boy who happens to have an English accent notices the new girl and maybe talks to her. 
 Step 3: Stereotypical hot popular girl feels threatened that her boyfriend or ex-boyfriend is talking to the new girl so threatens said new girl with her popular powers or whatever. 
 Step 4: Stereotypical hot bad boy who happens to have an English accent and has a bad track record talks to new girl again. 
 Step 5: Stereotypical hot popular girl feels even more threatened and does some petty popular girl bullshit. 
 Step 6: Stereotypical hot bad boy saves new girl from stereotypical hot popular girl's bullshit. 
 Step 7: New girl feels indebted to stereotypical hot bad boy for saving her and is willing to let said bad boy push her around because he's hot and stuff. 
 It's so cringy and Mara is so blind to Noah's (that's the stereotypical bad guy) weird possessiveness because he's hot. She trusts him way too much, in my opinion. (view spoiler)[ She let him take her to a SWAMP in the middle of the night because he "knew where her brother was." Sure, if she didn't go her brother would've died, but if I were her I would get the hell outta there because Noah sure sounded like a murderer at that point. (hide spoiler)] 
 TL;DR Mara's love interest is one of those assholes who orders her food without caring what she wants. 
 And then in the last 50 pages we get treated to some sloppy paranormal stuff that's compressed into the last little bit of the book because we spent the rest of the book talking about Mara's "romance" with Noah. 
 Overall, this book frustrated me to no end. The romance was cliche and the paranormal part was introduced way too late into the book. Noah was basically the "bad boy who had sex with loads of girls and then discarded them after, but he secretly has a heart, just only with Mara." If you're a fan of that, you'll probably enjoy this book. If not, please don't pick this up. It's not worth it.
