Fracture by Megan Miranda
5.0
Funny how everything can change in an instant. From life to death. From empty to full. From darkness to light.
Delaney is a normal teenage girl; if being more interested in becoming valedictorian than being cool counts as normal. That is until one winter when her best friend Decker drags her out onto Falcon Lake and everything changes. Delaney was never athletic or graceful so while walking on the frozen lake she of course fell, hard, and then it happened. The ice broke and Delaney fell in. Eleven minutes, that's how long she was under the freezing cold water, that's when she died. Only Delaney didn't stay dead, she awoke in a hospital bed, tubes and doctors everywhere. She was alive, a miracle, a freak.
Then the itch started and the pulling. Coming from everywhere at first, then leading her down the hall, through a door, into a room with a dying man. Why did she come here? She'll find out soon enough.
That was a very short summery of the beginning of the book. If you've read my other reviews then you know I don't like to give too much away. Fracture is the first book from debut author Megan Miranda. The book is AMAZING. Seriously. I could not put it down. Just when I thought I had everything figured out and I knew what was going to happen next, it all changed. The writing is brilliant and the characters are so real, I felt like I knew them, like I was right there with them. Absolutely breathtaking. This is a must read and by far the best book I've read this year, maybe the best book I've read in the last 5 years. So amazing. Go, read it, now. What are you waiting for?
