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.

Why I’m waiting?

Music, music, music.

I love when the main character finds their own niche. And this book is giving me ‘found family’ vibes, which makes me want to shout ‘yeeeesssss.’ I’m excited to see how music is incorporated into this book. I hope there’s a playlist in it because it’s a book about music and why not experience it while we read?
