"Sales (This Song Will Save Your Life) tackles a thoroughly modern problem, and she is careful to stay within the gray, neither condoning Winter's explanation nor fully embracing the meaningless apology.

Kirkus Reviews "Alternating poignancy and humor, and with obvious compassion for her characters, Sales gently imparts subtle wisdom about truth in storytelling, asserting independence, and above all, what it means to love someone (and not just romantically)." ? Horn Book This Song Will Save Your Life : "Pulsates with hope for all the misfits." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review "What sets this apart from so many problem novels is how honestly and deeply Sales probes the life of a miserable 16-year-old, from her cringe-worthy attempt at "learning" how to be popular to the observational, rather than emotional, look at what it feels like to be with a guy." - Booklist , starred review Mostly Good Girls : "Brilliant, poignant, and straight-up hilarious. Leila Sales is a fresh and fabulous new voice in YA." -Lauren Oliver, bestselling author of Before I Fall
Synopsis
A novel about public shaming in the internet age, the power of words, the cumulative destructiveness of microaggressions, and the pressing need for empathy. Before we go any further, I want you to understand this: I am not a good person. We all want to be seen. We all want to be heard. But what happens when we're seen and heard saying or doing the wrong things? When Winter Halperin--former spelling bee champion, aspiring writer, and daughter of a parenting expert--gets caught saying the wrong thing online, her life explodes. All across the world, people know what she's done, and none of them will forgive her. With her friends gone, her future plans cut short, and her identity in shambles, Winter is just trying to pick up the pieces without hurting anyone else. She knows she messed up, but does that mean it's okay for people to send her hate mail and death threats? Did she deserve to lose all that she's lost? And is "I'm sorry" ever good enough? Decide for yourself., In this timely and discussable young adult novel, a well-respected high school girl becomes the object of public Internet shaming after writing an offensive tweet that goes viral.
