The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

3.0

Reading this book felt like being dragged, kicking and screaming, back into 2011. it’s angsty dark YA fiction in all its glory, tropes and cliches included. in some ways it was endearing, a girl reclaiming her life/agency after a deeply traumatic event with the help of [magic?]. in others, not so much. when once i would have read ~dark and mysterious~ boyfriend, i saw instead ~possessive and a lil violent~ boyfriend. so, uh 3/5 stars because despite (or maybe because of?) all the edgy YA tropes, i found myself rooting for mara and her weird little family
