Interview with Megan Miranda!

So, for those of you who know me, you know I absolutely loved Megan Miranda's debut novel, Fracture. I loved it so much that I went to Megan's event at Vroman's (it's in Pasadena) afterwards, and my gosh, she is SO. FREAKIN'. AWESOME.

Ahem. Please excuse the excess fan-girling.

But anyway, the point is, Megan was kind enough to agree to an interview!!! So, behold...

I am in FRACTUREs

Fracture
By: Megan Miranda

**This book is part of the 2012 DAC challenge**

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.

As I read this book, there was a particular stanza in Taylor Swift's If This Was A Movie that came to my mind...

Come back, come back, come back to me like 
you would, before you said it's not that easy. 
Before the fight, before I left you out.

This was the most personal book I have ever read. It was irrevocably broken. Tragically beautiful. Unexpectedly fascinating. Pleadingly hopeful. Heartbreakingly desperate.
