Fade Into the Bright
by Alyssa Embree Schwartz, Jessica Koosed Etting
4.5 ⭐️ A heartbreaking story about a young girl facing the challenges of a devastating illness and finding a way to come terms with what it means for her life and her future.
This book made my heart ache in the best way! Abby and her sister receive a letter from their estranged father breaking the news that he has Huntington’s Disease, an incurable illness, and that it’s genetic.
Told in alternating timelines of before and after, we take the journey with Abby as she goes through the required steps involved in testing and the emotional aftermath of her diagnosis. This book gave me so many feels! I was so invested in Abby and the entire family. I loved how the authors gave insight into how the diagnosis affected the entire family - it was so raw and real.
Abby’s journey was one that was told so honestly - with the sadness, anger, despair and hope that you would expect. I definitely shed a few tears as I rode this roller coaster of emotion along with Abby.
But don’t for one minute discount this book as too sad! It wasn’t! At all! It was filled with so much love, friendship, acceptance, hope and joy too that ultimately it leaves you feeling like you read a happy book. The message that the joys and love outweigh the hardships in life shines bright as you turn the last page.
A huge thank you to the authors, Jessica Koosed Eating and Alyssa Schwartz for sending me a signed finished copy & Let's Talk Books Promo for providing an arc and buddy read of this amazing YA novel. This is on my highly recommended list - don’t let this one slip by.
