Waiting on Wednesday: Fracture by Megan Miranda

Posted by Unknown on 10:00 PM 13 comments


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme by Breaking the Spine that allows us bloggers a chance to spotlight upcoming books that we are dying to read!


January 3rd 2012, Walker Books
224 pages, Hardcover
Young Adult

Humans and Demons and Elves
Eleven minutes passed before Delaney Maxwell was pulled from the icy waters of a Maine lake by her best friend Decker Phillips. By then her heart had stopped beating. Her brain had stopped working. She was dead. And yet she somehow defied medical precedent to come back seemingly fine despite the scans that showed significant brain damage. Everyone wants Delaney to be all right, but she knows she's far from normal. Pulled by strange sensations she can't control or explain, Delaney finds herself drawn to the dying. Is her altered brain now predicting death, or causing it?

Then Delaney meets Troy Varga, who recently emerged from a coma with similar abilities. At first she's reassured to find someone who understands the strangeness of her new existence, but Delaney soon discovers that Troy's motives aren't quite what she thought. Is their gift a miracle, a freak of nature-or something much more frightening?

For fans of best-sellers like Before I Fall and If I Stay, this is a fascinating and heart-rending story about love and friendship and the fine line between life and death.

Why I can’t wait:

This looks so good! Even though I have If I Stay waiting for me to read I haven’t had a chance yet, but I did read Bridget Lies here. I love books that explore how near death (or brief death) experiences affect life.

    This sounds fantastic. I loved Before I Fall - one of the best reads of 2010 - and so hopefully this book will be just as good!
