What We Think

'The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer' avoids heavy-handed woke trappings, focusing instead on personal trauma, mystery, and young adult romance. It’s a largely non-woke supernatural thriller by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The book centers primarily on Mara Dyer's psychological struggles and romance, with character development taking precedence over any overt identity-based messaging. It doesn't seem like the story was crafted to serve any contemporary ideological agenda or force diversity for its own sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Themes of family, trauma, and healing are explored, but they're not used to tear down traditional values. The depiction of relationships and morality is more personal than ideological, and there’s no overt subversion or revisionism of cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present, characters bring different backgrounds and viewpoints. Modern hot-button issues are not the focus here, and there is no obvious mocking of dissenting voices. The worldview feels fairly pluralistic for its genre.
