Before You Break

As children, Lux and Lena were inseparable--sisters, best friends, soulmates. Until the day their mother committed suicide, shattering their world forever. Now Lena hides her heart behind her camera lens. And wild, reckless Lux will do anything to escape the darkness inside her own head.

When their father suffers a heart attack, Lena rushes home--only to find Lux has disappeared. Devastated, Lena is left to care for her dying father even as Lux spirals out of control. Consumed by their own grief and guilt, neither sister can reach the other.

With Lux teetering on the brink, Lena struggles to unravel the tangled secrets of her childhood. To save her sister, she'll have to confront her own demons first. The truth can set you free--or break you.

For fans of Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why, Courtney Summers' Fall for Anything, and John Green's Looking for Alaska. Before You Break explores the fragile but enduring bonds between sisters, the legacy of mental illness, and the courage it takes to live after devastating loss.
