Before the Awakening is not a straight novelization, but it is still an important Force Awakens-era book because it fills in character-space around Rey, Finn, and Poe just before the film begins. That makes it part of the official publishing buildup around Abrams’ movie, not a random side item.
It also helps the AbramsFans Books section feel more honest and complete. The publishing footprint around The Force Awakens was bigger than one adaptation and one art book, and this title is one of the clearest examples of that wider official fiction lane.
