I just couldn't get into the book for some reason. I tried several times and just didn't get through it. I was not the audience for this author. ( )Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I thought from the description it was a thriller. It was not.I began to dislike one of the heroines intensely. But I read on. And I was rewarded. 'Before You Break' is a beautifully written story about non-checked opinions about each other, about secrets and lies, about people who won't get help, won't help others, won't listen to each other, won't act, won't speak out. And about people who do care. I started to like both heroines, I started to understand both of them. Kyla Stone took ten years to write this book and I can understand why. She made a great job of it.

Disclaimer: I received this book for free from LibraryThing in return for an honest review.Sisters, Lena and Lux, were close growing up. Lena is the responsible one while Lux is the free-spirit. However after their mothers death they drifted apart. That is until their father has heart attack and Lena is forced to return home to take care of him in his final days. But where is Lux? And what does she have to do with her father's heart attack? Being home forces Lena to confront her past and come to terms with it. But is it too late to repair the relationship with her sister? This book alternates between Lena and Lux's point-of-views. It takes place in both the present and the past. Overall it is full of twists and turns as it answers the question about what happened to Lena and Lux's mother but at its heart it is about two sisters. Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I received this book to read from the Author and I must say, I really enjoyed this book. It is about 2 sisters that had a traumatic experience has children and how they dealt with the effect of what happened. Being very close while growing up they somehow drift apart. Even though they both grew up in the same house they dealt with the pain of losing their mother differently. Lena buried herself in her education, while Lux tried blocking it out by taking drugs, going to parties and doing anything that would cause her to forget. Lena with the illness and then death of her father, reached out to her sister Lux, who initially blamed herself for the death of her mother and deterioration of her father,s health and subsequent death. In the end the death of their father and promise Lena made to her dad re-united the sisters. Wonderful book definitely will read it again sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When her father has a massive heart attack, photography major Lena McKenna leaves school to care for him after her rebellious younger sister, Lux, disappears. Lena develops old family photographs, increasingly haunted by the memories of her mother, who committed suicide eight years before. Meanwhile, Lux, always the life of the party, is dangerously self-destructive. She can't face the guilt eating away at her. She'll do anything to escape it. Anything. WHO WE ARE INSTEAD explores the dynamics of familial responsibility, the volatile geography of the relationship between sisters--the memories that bind them together and the rivalries and resentments that tear them apart--and the way we blur the lines between loyalty and obligation, truth and deception, honor and betrayal.
