For readers of Jennifer Niven,
John Green & Abbie Emmons
Two novels about what it costs to be the light — and the people who carry it. A series called The Shadows and Sunshine Chronicles.
Book One
Some people survive. Others just learn to disappear.
Max Okeke escaped the Black-Box at twelve years old. Years later, college is supposed to be the easy part — keep his head down, stay invisible. Then he meets Muriel, who is fractured and guarded and achingly familiar in a way that tightens his chest. And the past he believed he had outrun is not finished with him yet.
Book Two
She had six months left. She chose to spend them making people smile.
Nora Olaye has never let the dark keep her down — not when she lost her mother, not now, when the doctors give her a year. But the family she has come to love is in debt to a man named Dice, and the world she steps into is anything but gentle. Told through her diary.
about Quinn
I write about people who carry too much. About the way love rearranges it. About the small daily mercies that look like nothing until they're gone. My books are for anyone who has ever been the one holding it together — and wondered who was watching.

“The best example of how a story doesn't have to have the most insane plot to make readers feel its impact.”
The Fault in Our Stars
John Green
“John Green, just like myself, showed how beautiful love can be and how disastrous death can be all in the same book.”

“I was so invested in Finch. He portrayed BPD so well, and how badly it can affect a person.”
