Warning, slight spoilers! 
 Ambitious and simplistic in concept, Fracture is the story of Delaney Maxwell. After falling into a frozen lake, Delaney miraculously survives despite being pronounced dead. Though she's alive, Delaney's life isn't as normal as it was before. She's trapped figuring out what to do with the new unwanted skill she's acquired - she's drawn to death. 
 Miranda's novel in short, is decently executed, relatively straightforward and filled with mildly likable characters. Which in YA literature is pretty good already. Fracture is in no way a horrendous novel; it's a solid, decent novel. However it just didn't ring true to me. 
 There's been a plethora of novels with the same concept about dying and then returning to life on the market right now. (I can only think of Abandon by Meg Cabot, right now, but I'm sure there are far more.) And honestly they really haven't caught my eye, perhaps I'm just not a fan. 
 Fracture strives to relate the story of a typical girl Delaney - straight A student, childhood friends with neighborhood cutie and living with a slightly troubled family structure. However it's the main plot that I have issues with. Fracture attempts to delve into some plot invoking Delaney's attraction towards the dying - which doesn't work. She makes vague mentions at another character with the same power, various death scenes and the search for a solution to her predicament. But what I really feel is there is no real conclusion, no real sense of closure or even climax. Everything in the book feels like a continued episode of buildup - with no real detail at a concrete plot - no names, no answers. Just aimless meandering and slight philosophical looks at the nature of death. 
 Despite the slight blunders with the whole attraction-to-death idea, Fracture executes well on other points. Miranda makes her characters real; they act like teenagers who would definitely hang out at some overcrowded pizza joint named Johnny's. Her cast of characters is relatively standard though, fully encompassing the boy next door love interest, the drop-dead gorgeous popular girl, popular handsome playboy guy etc. 
 The romance. There's something I liked about Decker and Delaney that was similar to Jay and Violet in the Body Finders. But I didn't like the fact that all they did was dance around each other; their relationship was muddled and dense and not satisfying. There are far too many unresolved conflicts in their relationship and unsaid words for me to feel the closure in the relationship as well as the novel as a whole. 
 Fracture is undoubtedly a great start for fledgling writer Megan Miranda but in this saturated YA market, it just didn't seem to stand out.
