A Book A Day ... December 6 and The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
Blurb:
Mara Dyer believes life can’t 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 strangely unharmed.
There is.
She doesn’t believe that after everything she’s been through, she can fall in love.
She’s wrong.

I first wanted to read this book because I loved the title.  I was so so not expecting what happened and who Mara was, which is nice. (This is why I often don't read reviews because there are too many spoilers.) What I love is that it is fast paced, unexpected, and Mara is a very likeable, very flawed main character. And the whole weirdness about the book ... works.  After reading the "story behind the story", it makes the book even creepier and more thrilling.
I don't even want to tell you the "genre" of the book because it might give some of what's going on with Mara away.  It's a great read for those who like suspense, contemporary, paranormal, a little thriller, too. Honestly, it touches on all sorts of unexpectedness, and the more I think about it and the story behind the story (which I just read for curiosity), the more fascinating the book becomes.
Not for young ones. Definitely YA -- maybe 13 and up. Be ready, though, to get lost or lose someone within the first few minutes of picking up the book because you really won't want to put it down until you get to the end.
(Don't read at night!)
