Fracture by Megan Miranda
2.0
This book has solid ideas.
This book is also a confusing blend of para-ro from the Twilight era, with the love triangle (popular childhood friend who isn’t endgame and bad boy emo who swaggers his way into F!Protagonist's ordinary small-town life, often with a supernatural connection), supernatural power setup (seriously, it's the same as about 40% of para-ro from the era), and even abilities, mixed with a strange pseudo-thriller-but-not type of book.
It has slutshaming (Tara's entire character! Random descriptions of other girls!).
It has a confusing powerset for the MCs that is poorly defined. Delaney has strong narration, but is unpleasant to read about. Tony is a literal murderer.
Decker and Carson matter so little separated that I legit forgot who was who at points. I don't see the appeal here. The entire book is a mess, a well-constructed mess, but a mess.
