Below you'll find a playlist.  Something of an imagined 'soundtrack' for certain chapters/scenes in the book.  It's just for fun and not intended to be anything official.

 

In some instances, I happened to be listening to the song as I wrote.  Other times, I heard it later and it just clicked for me.  It's a fairly eclectic list but I hope you'll enjoy the idea of engaging with the story in a different way, even if some of the choices aren't your style. 

​

And if any alternatives come to mind, or if you find yourself imagining other moments in the story set to music, I would love to hear about it!
