About the Book

A powerful coming-of-age story about an outsider who finds herself when she enters the underground music scene.

Very much of the moment." --The New York Times
If you're a music junkie who also loves YA, read it alongside Len Vlahos's The Scar Boys or Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park." --Janet Geddis, Avid Bookshop
"Sales gets everything right." --MTV.com

Making friends has never been Elise Dembowski's strong suit. All throughout her life, she's been the butt of every joke and the outsider in every conversation. When a final attempt at popularity fails, Elise nearly gives up.

Then she stumbles upon a warehouse party where she meets Vicky, a girl in a band who accepts her; Char, a cute, yet mysterious disc jockey; Pippa, a carefree spirit from England; and most importantly, a love for DJing.

Told in a refreshingly genuine and laugh-out-loud funny voice, Leila Sales' This Song Will Save Your Life powerful young adult coming of age novel is an exuberant story about identity, friendship, and the power of music to bring people together.
