If I Stay / Gayle Forman
Yes yes you've watched the movie. Yes yes you know it's about music. But what's so special about it to me? It's how music was the reason two people were brought together, and also the reason they were almost torn apart. Music was what led Adam to Mia, and music was also the bricks that kept building up between them.
Eleanor & Park / Rainbow Rowell
This isn't exactly revolving around music, but one of the best parts of it was how Park would always let Eleanor listen to new songs and she'd always love it. Their love story started with comic books and music. This book takes place in the 80's, so you see a lot of talk about Walkmans and cassette tapes, which just touches further into the whole music thing.
This Song Will Save Your Life / Leila Sales
Not only will you relate to Elise for how she was never accepted into society no matter how hard she tried, for how she'd always plug in her earpiece and go for walks; but she'll remind you of you, when she finds a love in DJ-ing, in being able to run from her problems with music. You may not be a budding DJ, but if you're an aspiring singer or always on your guitar or piano, then you'll be walking so easily in her shoes.
Maybe Someday / Colleen Hoover
This is a book in the New Adult genre, which is usually meant for those 18 to early-20's of age. What's so special about this book is there's an actual soundtrack for it as well. You see the two characters writing songs together, you see the lyrics printed on the pages, but there's also the real music that was made specially for this book. (and they're really good too!)
I'm so sorry for the rushed post, but I hope you'll pick up these books soon especially if you can't walk 5 steps alone without being plugged into your headphones. Trust me ;)
