This Song Will Save Your Life

Elise est seule. Elle a toujours été seule. Pas dans le genre romantique, solitaire et mystérieux, non. Plutôt dans le genre fille-trop-bizarre-pour-avoir-des-amis. Et elle le vit mal. Très mal.Une nuit pourtant, elle est invitée à entrer dans une boîte underground : le Start. Et c’est magique ! Les gens envahissent la piste, se déhanchent, un DJ beau et mystérieux mène la danse, les filles ressemblent à des stars du rock… Pour la première fois, Elise se sent libre et à sa place.Depuis, Elise mène deux vies. Celle, officielle, d’Elise la brebis galeuse, qui supporte tant bien que mal le lycée, et celle, secrète, de DJ Elise qui, chaque jeudi soir, choisit sa tenue, fait le mur, marche dans le noir jusqu’aux portes du Start, discute avec le videur, rejoint ses amis à l’intérieur, mixe sa musique, fait bouger les gens en rythme et peut, enfin, sourire sans mentir.

La Double vie d'Elise

From Leila Sales, the author of This Song Will Save Your Life, comes a compelling and relatable story about the hazards of falling for someone you haven't met yet. Seventeen-year-old Arden Huntley is recklessly loyal. Taking care of her loved ones is what gives Arden purpose: it makes her feel like she matters. But she's tired of being loyal to people who don't appreciate her - including her needy best friend and her absent mum. Arden stumbles upon a blog called 'Tonight the Streets Are Ours', the musings of a young New York City writer named Peter, and it feels like she's finally found a kindred spirit. When Peter is dumped by the girlfriend he blogs about, Arden decides to take a road trip to see him. During one crazy night in NYC filled with parties, dancing and music - the type of night when anything can happen, and nearly everything does - Arden discovers that Peter isn't exactly who she thought he was. And maybe she isn't exactly who she thought she was either.
