Jessa Whitworth knew she didn't belong in her ex-boyfriend Caleb's room. But she couldn't deny that she was everywhere--in his photos, his neatly folded T-shirts, even the butterfly necklace in his jeans pocket . . . the one she gave him for safe keeping on that day.
His mother asked her to pack up his things--even though she blames Jessa for his accident. How could she say no? And maybe, just maybe, it will help her work through the guilt she feels about their final moments together.
But as Jessa begins to box up the pieces of Caleb's life, they trigger memories that make Jessa realize their past relationship may not be exactly as she remembered. And she starts to question whether she really knew Caleb at all.
Each fragment of his life reveals a new clue that propels Jessa to search for the truth about Caleb's accident. What really happened on the storm-swept bridge?

About the Author
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
The door looks darker than the walls of the stairway, but it’s hard to tell from this angle, without light, that it’s blue. We painted it during the summer from a half-empty can he’d found in the garage, a color called Rustic Sea.
“A complicated color for a complicated door,” he joked. But it turned out to look more like denim than anything else.
He stepped back after applying the first stroke, wrinkled his nose, wiped the back of his hand against his forehead. “My feelings on this color are also very complicated.”
There was a smudge of Rustic Sea over his left eye. “I love it,” I said.
I reach for the door now, and I can almost smell the fresh paint, feel the summer breeze coming in from the open window to help air it out. We painted it all the way around—front and back and sides—and sometimes, the door still sticks when you pull it open. Like the paint dried too thick, too slowly.
There’s a speck of paint on the silver doorknob that I’ve never noticed before, and it makes me pause. I run my thumb over the roughness of the spot, wondering how I missed this.
I take a slow breath, trying to remember the room before I see it, to prepare.
It’s got four walls, a closet, slanting ceilings before they meet at a flat strip overtop. There’s a fan hanging from the middle of that strip, the kind that rattles when it’s set to the highest speed. Shelves built into the walls on both sides, giving way to a sliding closet door on my left. A single window, on the far wall.
There’s a bed, with a green comforter.
A desk to my right, with a computer monitor on the surface, the tower hidden below.
The walls are gray and the carpet is . . . the carpet is brown. I think. I’m no longer sure. The color blurs and shifts in my mind.
It’s just a room. Any room. Four walls and a ceiling and a fan.
This is what I tell myself before I step inside. This is the whisper I hear in my head as I stand with my hand on the knob, waiting on the top step.
For a moment, I think I hear his footsteps on the other side of the door, but I know this isn’t possible. I picture us sitting across from each other on the floor. My legs, angled between his.
He leans closer. He’s smiling.
Then I remember: the carpet is beige. The door will squeak as I push it open. The air will be hotter or colder than the rest of the house, depending on the time of year.
All these things I know by heart.
None of this prepares me.

This was my first Megan Miranda book, and I've got to say, I'm now a huge fan.
Every tiny detail was captured, no stone left unturned. Jessa's story with flashbacks to her past with her ex-boyfriend left me amazed and wondering how Megan Miranda outlines her books. So many pieces to a puzzle that fit together perfectly by the end.
Fan of mystery? Love trying to figure out the story before the story is over. Fragments of the Lost is for you! With a healthy mix of sweet love story as well.

It is an easy read with very short chapters but that doesn’t make up for the lack of content. The main character isn’t very likable and she even doesn’t bite back when being bullied although she is portraited as a strong young girl.
The story develops very slowly with one chapter per found item in the ex-boyfriends room, which brings up a load of memories and all the red herrings that one can have.
It is only on the last part that the story develops properly and then stops abruptly and goes back to some more musings about teenage angst and romance.
Not really for me, but certainly an easy way to pass a rainy day.
The synopsis of the book really got excited me about the story. The first 120 pages of the book were fun and there was a certain mystery about the story. However, the pages 120-250 were really very slow. At one point, I got really irritated because the story was just not going anywhere. After the page 250 the storyline started building up a little. But there were many things that were predictable and didn’t get me too surprised by the end of the book.
Overall, the book is a smooth read and because of the short chapters you will feel you are flying through the book.
Don’t read this book hoping for a nail biting mystery thriller because it is not. It is an average book which can be read but can be given a miss as well.
Disappointed to get a book with fold Mark's on cover
