Review:
Fading was the most emotional roller-coaster I have ever been on. It was very dark and the subject matter took me to places that felt so real. I thought that the author really captured the feeling of what it's like when something goes wrong and you are vulnerable to attack. I could feel all the emotions that Candace was going through and how she felt like she was "fading away" from life.
Candace turns to her good friends Jase and Mark for support throughout this difficult time instead of reaching out to the girl that is supposed to be her best friend. This part confused me. I wasn't really sure why she felt like she couldn't tell her best friend. Or report the attack to the authorities. There were many things that I thought could have been done a little better but all in all it's a very good book with great story lines.
