The author of Before We Break returns with a standalone young adult romance featuring opposites attract, good girl/bad boy vibes, and found family. Set in Lancaster County, PA and filled with angst, Light Me Up is about a teen who is trying to pick up the broken pieces of her life but ends up falling for the boy everyone warns her about.

Addy always loved a plan, and hers involved going to the same college and marrying her middle school sweetheart. But when Addy’s mom dies and she’s forced to move to another state, she finds herself boyfriend-less and stuck in a town that’s main source of income is an amusement park.

Lucky for Addy, her new neighbor gets her a job and brings her into a friend group that’s known each other since diapers. But there’s one person in particular Addy can’t seem to stay away from, even when her neighbor warns her against it.

Asher is broody and dangerous, and the completely opposite kind of boy Addy would ever date. But why can’t she keep her eyes off him every time he enters a room?

Feeling torn between the boy she left behind and the one who starts to see her for the person she’s becoming, Addy finds herself on a rollercoaster of emotions.

Can one summer alter the course of your forever? Addy is about to find out.
