The Playlist: Book 1

****Trigger Warnings******* Mental Health***** Vulgar language***** Bloody Scenes****
Jayden Sterling never planned to leave Boston. She never planned to start her senior year three thousand miles from home. And she definitely never planned to live in a world where Luca Rivera - her best friend, her first love, the girl who made music out of ordinary days - is gone.

Now Jayden writes letters she'll never send, each one guided by the playlist Luca made for her on their last night together.
Every song is a memory.
Every memory is a promise she's terrified to break.

In sun-soaked San Diego, Jayden is surrounded by people who want to pull her back into the world - a chaotic new friend, a quiet musician, a mother trying her best. But healing isn't easy when guilt feels heavier than grief, and loving again feels like betrayal.

As the tide shifts and the months pass, Jayden must face the truth she's been running from:
Some loves don't disappear. They echo.
And sometimes, the only way forward is to let their light remain.

The Playlist is a story about music, memory, first love, and finding the courage to keep walking even when the world breaks.
