“An irresistible duet of longing and regret, one that tugs at the very essence of art and trust. I couldn't have stopped reading if I tried.” —Emma Brodie, New York Times bestselling author of Into the Blue

“I was totally captivated by the mixture of yearning and humor in this lovely indie-rock romance—despite experiencing PTSD at how well Leila Sales captures the mid-aughts music scene.” —Yasi Salek, host of the podcast Bandsplain

Deja View, an iconic indie band that released one perfect album two decades ago, broke up at the peak of their stardom, thanks to an unexpected schism between Emmy, the lead singer, and Bishop, the bassist she yearned after for years. Since then, Emmy has gone on to a successful career as a singer-songwriter, one who never revisits her younger days—until a reunion tour to support their drummer’s medical bills forces her to reckon with who she and Bishop once were, and who they have since become.

Leila Sales is the author of many critically acclaimed novels, including This Song Will Save Your Life and The Museum of Lost and Found. Leila was born in Boston, Massachusetts; received her degree from the University of Chicago; and worked at Penguin Random House in New York City. She is now based in Austin, Texas. Encore Performance is her first adult romance.
