Hey guys! So I'm afraid I don't have an update for you yet, but I thought in the meantime, we could play a game. I noticed several people have commented with songs that they think really sum up certain characters and/or relationships, and I of course have songs that really inspire me when I'm writing. I've typed up a list of song categories along with my picks (for most of them, some I can't give because SPOILERS), and I would love to hear what your guys' picks would be for these categories. Then at the end I have a random list of songs that make me think of certain characters/relationships, and I'm curious to see if y'all can guess which ones correspond to who? ;) I'll comment letting y'all know your score for that guessing game, but I also want to hear what music you guys think of for this stuff. Just something I thought would be fun!

MOVIE INTRO
You know, that movie moment where someone turns and sees the character, wind in their hair, light hitting them just right, probably laughing at something we can't hear or say? This would be the song playing in the background. Here's my picks. Some of these were haaaard.

Sam: How I Want Ya by Hudson Thames and my QUEEN Hailee Steinfeld
Laila: Sweet Talk by Saint Motel
Israel: I Want You by Marion Hill
Will: Kick It To Me by Sammy Rae

RELATIONSHIPS
Pretty self explanatory; these songs have themes and lyrics that I think really work with these relationships. Would love some more relationship category suggestions. I had to get a lil creative.

Sam + Laila: We're Going to Be Friends by Jack Johnson
Sam + Will: Yung Luv by Andrelli
Will + Laila: maybe, i'm afraid by lovelytheband
Sam + Israel: Blu (Acoustic version) by Jon Bellion 
Sam + Gabe Federman: Marry Me by Train
Gabe Federman + The bushes: Diving by Bridgit Mendler
Sam + Her roller skates: The Lotto by Ingrid Michaelson and AJR

POV SONGS:
I left this blank because it's just not my place to tell readers how characters view themselves and others. But this category is for songs that y'all think capture the characters' perspectives.
