I quite like Mara and I really enjoy reading from her point of view. Her descriptions are captivating and, though I do not suffer from PTSD, as certain situations unwind, I can easily step into her shoes. For instance, I consider this quote to very relatable: "I was a goldfish without a castle to hide in." I am sure that we have underwent that moment where we just want to melt into our skin and disappear, and that is what I enjoy about Mara. I think many of us teens have a little piece of Mara in us.
I, honestly, probably would not handle the predicament very well if I had PTSD and was hallucinating my deceased friends. I mean, I suck under stress, so I'd most likely be kicking and screaming until someone knocked me out with a pot. :P
Well, I don't like Anna, like, at all but I wouldn't label her as a murder in disguise... yet.
Jamie is really funny and cute, however I would not say that he is "boyfriend material", at least in not Mara's case. Better off as friends. I am rooting for something to blossom between her and the notorious Noah Shaw. ;) Oh My Gosh, I adored their retorts toward one another in the previous chapter! ASSCROWN, LOL! xD

And Asscrown. How does someone come up with this stuff?
And I definitely think Mara and Jaimie are better friends while Mara and Noah are better off dating.
I'm currently theorizing that Mara did something to collapse the building. Maybe she has powers?
What do you think Mara? How do you believe you'd respond if you were put in Mara's situation? Are you receiving any strange vibes from any of the characters?
Are you shipping any characters yet? I know you are... *wink, wink*
