 I'm sorry, but I just can't continue on anymore. This book had a really interesting premise and I was actually enjoying it quite a bit at first, but it all went downhill pretty quickly. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer has all the delightful qualities of a terrible book, including the following: 
 1) Every girl that isn't Mara is completely evil. They are standard cut-out mean high school girls that detest Mara the second they meet her for no apparent reason. God forbid there be any decent female characters. Though I didn't finish the book and therefore can't be sure, her previous friends Rachel and Claire didn't seem like winners either. 
 2) Her family annoyed me. Her brother is perfect and boring. 
 3) The romance was just . . . blah. Noah Shaw falls in rapid insta-love with Mara for no reason despite having been with tons of women. He's gorgeous, rich, has a British accent, a nice car and a perfect grade point average. Basically any good quality in a guy you can think of, this guy has it. No faults here. 
 4) I was into the paranormal aspect of the story. Mara's hallucinations/delusions were the creepiest and best parts of the book. But the romance got to be too much and felt like it was drowning out anything in the story of any real importance. 
 Nope, just nope. This novel is too superficial for me. Moving on.
