The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer came out in print two and a half years ago but is just now making its audiobook debut. I mean EThe narration of Noah was so off and distracting that I would actually recommend reading this one instead of listening to it. HOWEVER, she was downright CREEPY as a 17 year old British heartthrob. Sometimes her reading was rushed as though she was trying to just get all the words out, but for the most part, she was enjoyable. When the narrator was speaking for Mara, she was usually great. I did go ahead and purchase book 2, as I'm interested to see if this all comes together in the end. I suppose the preceding scene was suppose to be the ramp up to the end, but it was really anti-climatic and disappointing. When the Audible voice over said "You've reached the end of the book", I thought, "Surely it said the end of the part not the book, and I just need to download the next part!?!". I'm all for a cliffhanger ending, but this book just ended.practically mid-sentence. Maybe it will wrap up nicely after the 3rd book, but the 1st book was all over the place. But then the plot seemed to really lose focus. Her story was interesting.living through a terrible ordeal that she cannot remember. Mara is smart and funny, and I enjoyed getting to know her. There were things about it that I genuinely enjoyed. Just finished listening to book 1, and I'm really torn.
