Mara Dyer doesn’t understand what is happening to her. She is the sole survivor of an accident that killed her best friend, boyfriend, and boyfriend’s sister, but she has no memory of what happened. After her family moves across the country to give Mara a fresh start, Mara begins seeing things… but she is positive they’re not all hallucinations. While trying to understand what is real, what isn’t, and what happened to her friends, she falls for Noah, a charming playboy, and the only one who believes she isn’t going crazy.
Mara is a skillfully written unreliable narrator. This book will keep readers guessing and is a great choice for teens who enjoy mystery, fantasy, and romance.
