Playlist:
Self Control, Laura Branigan
This is an oldie from the 1980s, but it was perfect for the irony in the club scene near the end of the book where Cassie (Evie's mom) is cavorting on the dance floor with her boyfriend Dan. I also happen to love the track.

Lost and Not Found, Chase and Status.
This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard. It's stunning and had a huge impact on me whilst I was writing. Check it out.

Never Tear Us Apart, Inxs
Inxs were Evie's father's favourite band and I absolutely adore this song.

Nothing is Impossible, Depeche Mode
The next song on my playlist is Nothing is Impossible, by Depeche Mode.
This really got me into the mood when I was writing the Bridge Scene at the start of Everlong.

Everlong, by the Foo Fighters.
This song was part of the inspiration for the book, so that really needs to kick off the tracks on my playlist.
Dave Grohl apparently said that:
“That song’s about a girl that I’d fallen in love with and it was basically about being connected to someone so much, that not only do you love them physically and spiritually, but when you sing along with them you harmonise perfectly.”

That seemed to sum up the whole of my story perfectly, from Josh and Evie falling in love with each other, to Evie finally beginning to love herself.
