A review by mb_booklady
Fracture by Megan Miranda
3.0
Delaney and Decker have been friends forever. As expected, they argue. Decker is mad at Delaney because she kissed one of their friends. Not sure how to explain his issues with this, he says something mean and walks off from her as they are walking across a frozen lake. The ice cracks and Delaney falls through.
After being underwater for 11 minutes, Delaney should be dead. Her brain should be damaged beyond repair. She wakes up with the ability to know when someone is going to die.
The remainder of the book deals with Delaney realizing her gift and trying to figure out what to do with it.
Mostly, I felt like I didn't u understand most of this book. I don't know what it was about the writing style that made me feel that way. I did think 8th graders would enjoy the thriller/horror aspects of the story; Delaney's slow descent into madness (or not.). However, several strong curse words may suggest reviews would recommend it for high school audiences.
I have begun the second book in the series.
