I fell in love with Before You Break almost as much as I loved All Of You. The story was intriguing, fast-paced, and in my opinion – an easy read.Ella has had to deal with a terrible loss in her life and still struggles to comprehend how something so horrifying could happen without any signs. I definitely felt for her and was drawn to the way that Christina describe her loss. Due to the events that occurred, she now volunteers at a suicide prevention hotline in order to help those that are willing to seek help from their inner turmoil. She soon gets a call from a mysterious boy that triggers her instinct to help him.Quinn is hiding a secret that is slowly eating him up inside. He hides behind the persona of carefree baseball player but he is anything but happy. While his depression slowly consumes his ability to continue fighting, he allows Ella into his life and she is the first sign of light in his ever-present darkness. What Quinn doesn’t realise is that Ella is a part of his life in more ways than one.This book was everything I expected it to be; it was sweet, all-consuming and climactic. Not only was it easy to connect with the story, but the flow that was presented in the writing was continuous and didn’t falter as you became more and more consumed by Ella and Quinn’s story.I adored this book and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for an easy and fast-paced read without the commitment of having to read an entire series as this book can be read as a standalone. Though I do recommend that you read All Of You first because it is such an amazing book and shouldn’t be disregarded when starting to read Christina’s books.
