The Becoming of Noah Shaw by Michelle Hodkin
3.0
honestly i'm pretty disappointed with the way this book turned out. it seemed like a poorly written fanfiction most of the time (and i would know, considering the amount of fanfictions i've read). it hasn't truly hit me yet that this book is actually real, because it feels fake. the characters don't act the way i remember and noah's perspective let me down quite a bit. from mara's pov, noah is one of my most favorite fictional male characters i've ever encountered. from his own perspective...well, that's a different story.
i'm also super confused. like, most of the plot doesn't make sense to me and there's no real sense of urgency behind the character's actions. i don't really get what was pushing the plot forward but :// the ending also made things more confusing, rather than clearing anything up. which ig is intentional since it makes you inclined to read the rest of the books in the trilogy.
overall, i'm really sad that this book did not pack the punch i was looking for. the mara dyer series is one of my all time favorite series and i was expecting so much more from this book.
