From the #1 New York Times- and USA Today-bestselling author of the Rosemary Beach and The Vincent Boys series, Abbi Glines delivers another smoldering, compulsively readable YA romance with As She Fades.
On the night of her high school graduation, Vale McKinley and her boyfriend Crawford are in a terrible car accident that leaves Crawford in a coma. They were supposed to spend the summer planning for college, for a bright future full of possibility. Together. Instead, Vale spends long days in the hospital, hoping Crawford will awaken.
Slate Allen, a college friend of Vale's brother, has been visiting his dying uncle at the same hospital. When he and Vale meet, she can't deny the flutter of an illicit attraction. She tries to ignore her feelings, but she's not immune to Slate's charm. Slowly, they form a cautious friendship.
Then, Crawford wakes up . . . with no memory of Vale or their relationship. Heartbroken, Vale opts to leave for college and move on with her life. Except now, she's in Slate's territory, and their story is about to take a very strange turn.

It’s been a long time since I’ve read an Abbi Glines book. Boy was this one a little different.
Val had her post-high school life mapped out, planning on following boyfriend Crawford to college. But an accident changes everything and Val is left to figure out what happens next.
I can honestly say, I wasn’t expecting the twist and turns of Val’s story. Val was a girl who had defined herself with her relationship with Crawford and when all that blows up, she has to figure out who she wants to be. I didn’t envy Val and the choices she had to make, but she grew into a much stronger person for those choices and the partner she chose.
