This month my book club is reading FRACTURE by Megan Miranda.
With elements of fantasy blended with science, Miranda’s debut novel is full of suspense and beautiful writing. The story focuses on Delaney Maxwell and what happens after she falls through the ice on Falcon Lake. After eleven minutes under the water, Delaney should have died. But she didn’t. And nothing is the same after the accident.
