Today Nikki shares some of the songs that helped her write American Girl On Saturn!
With every book I write, I always have an official playlist/soundtrack. However, today I'm only sharing a select few with you guys. I can't give all of my songs or else it may spoil some of American Girl On Saturn's secrets! ;)
1.) God Must Hate Me by Simple Plan - I always knew this song would end up on this book's soundtrack/playlist. One, it's Simple Plan! Two, it's exactly how the guys feel about lockdown.
2.) Live While We're Young by One Direction - This song actually never made the playlist, but it's heavily inspired Spaceships Around Saturn's new single in the book, "Music Up, Windows Down." If you've listened to LWWY, you'll know where this fictional song title came from! ;)
3.) Chemicals Collide by Boys Like Girls - This is my "Chloe/Milo first kiss" song.
4.) Lightning in a Bottle by The Summer Set - If one song had to be the theme for this book, it'd be this song. It's summery. It's fun. It's slightly reckless and wild. It's just perfect. Also, the lyric about drawing tattoos inspired Chloe's artistic talents.
5.) Blue Burns Orange by Hawthorne Heights - This song isn't actually "on the list" either, but yesterday, Emily blogged about fictional rock band Sebastian's Shadow. They were inspired by HH. Their song, "Bleeding Butterflies," was inspired by this song.
6.) Keep You With Me by Hot Chelle Rae - This is my final chapter song. It sums up Chloe and Milo's future.
The summer after graduation is supposed to be that first real taste of freedom - but not for eighteen-year-old Chloe Branson. Just as that breeze of freedom is making its way into her galaxy, her secret-service-agent dad drops a meteor-sized bomb of bad news on her and her sisters. An attempt has been made on the lives of Canadian boyband, Spaceships Around Saturn, during their USA tour, and the guys have to go into hiding ASAP. The only problem? In the midst of the crisis and media frenzy, their dad volunteered to hide the guys...in their house.
Six-year-old Emery is as ecstatic as any self-proclaimed Saturnite would be, but Chloe and her seventeen-year-old sister Aralie watch their summer plans crash and burn like a falling star. The SAS guys aren't happy with the situation, either. Bad boy Jules picks fights with Aralie about everything from his Twitter followers to his laundry, and heart-throb Benji can't escape Emery's fangirlisms for more than three minutes.
But after the super-cute Milo kisses Chloe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finally understands what Emery means when she talks about SAS being "out of this world." If this is what Saturn feels like, Chloe doesn't want to come back to Earth.
