FRACTALISTIC–The review!

Before I jump right in with the reason you are here, I want to entice you with the book cover and what this awesome book is all about!

What is this book about you say?

After moving to Mexico with her parents, Winter Gutan had been hoping the local alternative medicine doctor would cure her mother’s illness. When her mother does not survive his controversial treatments, Winter’s life spirals in despair. Her father, a software engineer, insists his computer program, Fractalistic, will enable them to communicate with her mother’s spirit. But as his sanity begins to slip, Winter confides in her friend Rafa, a computer wizard, who tells her he’s found information about using fractal technology to treat false memories—nothing paranormal about it, leaving Winter confused and without hope. Will she lose her mother forever?

Suspecting her dad is hiding a deep secret, Winter runs Fractalistic behind his back, unveiling a sea of computer-generated imagery swirling on the screen. Her mother appears to her…begging for help! But is this all just Winter’s imagination?

Fractalistic may enable Winter to communicate with her deceased mother, but it might also unleash more mysterious memories buried within Winter’s mind. To figure it all out, Winter must hack into her father’s system to uncover a horrifying truth…or remain in the dark forever

INTRIGUED YET?????

Well, here is what I thought of this masterpiece!

Sometimes you come across a book, and after reading it, you get a hint at why the author chose that title. You see the evidence of that simple phrase or single word running throughout the story. In the case of FRACTILISTIC that title was the story. Winter is a girl whose pain and struggle could be viewed as fractured. And although the title references the technology or science her father uses to help her heal after her mother’s death, it also represents Winter. I loved connected with her. Going on this journey as she navigates a very vividly written small Mexican town and falls in love and gains a friend. Her hesitation at friendship, at first, seemed strange. But the more I got to know Winter, the better I understood. She was…fractured. And people who have gone through this sort of pain will have a hard time connecting.

Gerardo is masterful at is prose and the depth in which he created his characters (or cast. I always refer to them as cast) Rafi and Julia and their desire to stand by Winter was so damn touching. At times, I found myself wiping a stray tear. And Rafi, oh, such a sweet love story there. TRUST ME!

Her father, on the other hand, made me angry and sad, and frustrated. I wanted to scream so many times at him. Yet, I also understand his frustration and pain. Losing is wife and in a way losing his daughter as well. The lengths he went through to try and help Winter were admirable.

The mystery had me believing one thing and I was somewhat surprised there weren’t any (spoiler) this is a mark of a true story genius!

So, dear reader, I can’t recommend this book enough. Be prepared to be captivated and have her heart put in a vise.

YEP!!! AWESOME SAUCE!!!!
