Book review: Fracture by Megan Miranda
Fracture by Megan Miranda
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Why was this such a tedious read? I had such high hopes for the book too since I thought the idea was so cool: a girl is rescued from near-death can tell when someone is about to die.
Only nothing really ever happens with this ability to know when someone will die. The main character spends a lot of time angsting over being alive and why her best friend is acting so distant, but I kept turning pages wanting something exciting to happen. A few bits of tension are sprinkled about with a 'love interest' but it never really goes anywhere.
Finally at the very end she tries to do something with this new power of hers (like save someone) but it doesn't work. I was very much hoping she'd have to come to terms with how death (in other words fate) can't be circumvented. But instead she dithers around some more thinking about dying herself and then tries to kill her 'mysterious love interest'. I was like, Huh? Why are you doing this? Why are you not exploring how to use your power to help comfort those who are about to die?
