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. (Summary from Goodreads)
Okay, you guys have probably figured out that I like contemporary YA fiction where kids who feel like outcasts and are seen as weird have cool coming-of-age moments. Well, so, here's another one. I know it came out yesterday, but I couldn't resist sharing this new addition to my TBR list!

A week ago, Dinah's cousin Claire cut her wrists.
Five days ago, Dinah found Claire's diary and discovered why.
Three days ago, Dinah stopped crying and came up with a plan.
Two days ago, she ditched her piercings and bleached the black dye from her hair.
Yesterday, knee socks and uniform plaid became a predator's camouflage.
Today, she'll find the boy who broke Claire.
By tomorrow, he'll wish he were dead. (Summary from Goodreads)
