Why this music
Because the book lives inside the golden warmth of classic rom-com cinema, the playlist leans into lush, melodic scores and breezy pop from the 80s and 90s — the music Liz herself would put on. It stays light and hopeful, with a gentle pulse that mirrors the slow-burn romantic tension, brightening when the chemistry crackles.
