There are two types of books that I like. Ones that help me understand the world more, become a better person, Guilty-pleasure read! How I love those.
There are two types of books that I like. Ones that help me understand the world more, become a better person, discover new worlds and then...there is The unbecoming of mara dyer, where I turn into a 16-year-old girl with teenage angst and immense love for fictional boyfriends. Honestly, 4 years later, and I haven't changed that much.
Why did I read this book?
Noah Shaw.
Yes, I think all of my wisdom as a 20-year-old has abandoned me to the neverlands. And that's completely fine with me. I fangirled through 90% of this book even when it was a scene about insects. I blame it on me being single and my love for broken bad boys with sob stories and daddy issues.
The writing was great. And the plot really interesting even though it's a reread. I finished it in a day. Mara is okay. Noah is,...amazing, great, I love him, I am insane, I have no life and he's just so swoon-worthy. Even when I should know better but...nah! Who cares?
Goodbye my delusioned innocent love for this book, I'm not 16 years old anymore. My innocence has been shatterd.Did you see what I just did there?

Well, to be honest I realised I wasn't that innocent at 16, with the amount of kissing and tasting Adam and Juliette are doing in this book.
Warning: My love for a certain character in this book may spoil you on the relationship aspect of the story.
So Let me take a moment to thank God that my eyes aren't permenantly stuck on the back of my head from all the eye rolling I did because of our I-don't-know-the color-of-my-eyes heroine: JULIETTE.
I’ve been crying for so long I’m certain the hot water is made of nothing but my tears. [image]
But I’m an encyclopedia with too many blank pages. [image]
I need to say it. I need to get it out. I need to rip my wounds open and bleed fresh for him. [image]
GIRL! Just calm down.
And don't even get me started on how she didn't eat the food Warner gave her. I was shaking my head the whole time WHILE rolling my eyes.
Am I the only one who thinks that Juliette and Adam are the horniest teenagers on earth? Besides Feyre and Rhys in ACOFAS. I mean what's with all the TASTING. if you're hungry just go and eat something!
I get it: Juliette hasn't touched anyone in 386546567 days or whatever. But kissing while running for your lives is just STUPID.
Adam
The first time I read this book, I swooned a little while reading about his tattoos, blue eyes and tall lean body. Now, I just wanted to BARF everytime he was in the book. Which was 90% of the book. He's a good guy. Kind of swoon-worthy, I mean tattoos duh! But knowing what I know. I just couldn't like him anymore.
Warner:
He may be a psychotic obssesive muderer in this book. And I LOVED HIM! I seriously started questioning my sanity because of my love for him.
Warner: I will use you for my own purposes
me: okay, whatever you say you green-eyed lovely kitten.
Warner: I'm holding you captive in sector 45.
me: Yes please! Can I hug you... forever?
Warner: And I kill people.
me: I love you... you cute muffin that I want to eat.

The way everyone treated him in this book made my blood boil. (view spoiler)[Juliette shot him like she SHOT my BABY. He cares about you...you Debby downer! (hide spoiler)]
The relationship
I can't. I just can't with these two horney teenagers. And the kind of insta-Love that they have going on. Can't you keep your hands to yourselves for a whole minute. CAN YOU?
Don't get me wrong I still really like the book. But Adam and Juliette got on my nerves too much.
I'm not changing my 5-star-review since I respect my 16 year old self. But I think this is more of 4-4,5 stars. Hope you enjoyed this review. At least, a little....more
