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, This Song Will Save Your Life is an exuberant novel about identity, friendship, and the power of music to bring people together.
I’ve been eager to read Leila Sales’s novel ever since I first head of it, and my anticipation has only increased over the past couple of months as a few lucky bloggers received and read advanced reader copies and told me all about how wonderful it is. Music has always been an extremely important part of my own life, and Elise’s desperate struggle to find a place where she belongs is something I’m sure we can all relate to. I’m intrigued by the fact that it’s set within the club and/or DJ subculture, a world I know admittedly very little about, but about which I’ve always been curious. Thankfully, with the release set for September 17th, 2013 there isn’t very long to wait now! I think it’s safe to say that I will be purchasing this book as soon as humanely possible.

Yay, you don’t have to wait too long !
This is on my tbr list already and I was very intrigued when i first heard about it. Me and my boyfriend actually met because of music so music is definitely an important aspect of my life. Nice to see a different genre/style instead of typical country.
Great WOW !

I read this one a couple of weeks ago and was surprised by how much I liked it because I initially had difficulty connecting with the main character. It was a wonderful surprise and it definitely lives up to all the praise.
I hope you’ll enjoy it when you get to read it!
Happy reading! 🙂

Very excited about this one as well! I loved that Leila Sales also recently said that the movie The Way Way Back is essentially another version of this story.
