Leo Playlist

I’ve had a couple requests for a Leo playlist so here it is!  I do feel that I must explain that my seven year old daughter is a big J.B. fan and so his songs are always a part of any playlist in our house (not to say I don’t enjoy me some J.B. as well. Let’s be honest here.) But this is the collection of songs I listened to repeatedly while writing Leo and so I had to include each song that immediately conjurs up the “feeling” of Evie, Leo and Jake for me.

This is a list of where each specific song “fits” in the book…

Rooftop and other flashbacks – Catching Feelings, Justin Bieber

Jake following/Leo car crash/First date with Jake – Just a Feeling, Maroon 5

Catering job run-in with Jake & Gwen – Catch my Breath, Kelly Clarkson

Walking to bus/Jake pulls up – Try, Pink

Evie tells Jake about her past as he cooks dinner – If I Lose Myself, OneRepublic

Evie & Jake’s First Time – I’ll Be, Edwin McCain

Zoo date – Just Give Me a Reason, Pink, Nate Reuss

Nightclub date – One More Night, Maroon 5

Wall “interlude” scene – Higher, Taio Cruz

Back unveiled/Evie runs/Leo’s story – Dark Side, Kelly Clarkson
