My Sweetest Escape Official Playlist (part four)

The Way I Am-Ingrid Michaelson

This song has some of the best lyrics ever. It’s quirky and sweet and I think it fits that part of Jos and Dusty’s relationship. They have this burning chemistry, but then they also can be total dorks together.

Can’t Help Falling In Love-Ingrid Michaelson

I’ve loved the original version of this song done by Elvis (who doesn’t?), but this version by Ingrid blows my mind. This is another extremely important song for Jos and Dusty. They fight their attraction to each other, but they can’t help the way they feel for each other, even with so much standing in their way.

I Will Follow You Into The Dark-Deathcab for Cutie

This is another song that is a bit of a contradiction. The somewhat sweet and upbeat sound of the song is at odds with the lyrics. Another reason I chose this song was because of the lyrics. This is one of those songs that makes you think, and you find something new every time you listen to it.

Live And Die-The Avett Brothers

I blame Colleen Hoover for the fact that I discovered The Avett Brothers. I haven’t listened to all their music, but I can listen to this song over and over. It’s another one that is upbeat and catchy, but the lyrics contradict that tone.

This-Ed Sheeran

Dusty sings this song to Jos at a very critical moment in their relationship. It’s a song about possibilities, about the potential for something to be great. Jos wants to be with him, but she has to decide if she can get past the obstacles standing in their way and give them a chance.

The Scientist-Coldplay

This is the last song in the book and also plays during another (ahem) pivotal point in Jos and Dusty’s relationship. I can listen to this song on repeat for days. I also really like the Glee cast version as well, but it makes be cry because it’s got Finn/Corey Monteith singing in it.

The past will always find you.

Jos Archer was the girl with the perfect life; until the night it all came crashing down around her. Now, nine months later, she still hasn't begun to pick up the pieces. Even transferring to a new college and living under the watchful eye of her older sister, Renee, isn't enough to help her feel normal again.

And then she meets Dusty Sharp. For reasons Jos can't begin to fathom, the newly reformed campus bad boy seems determined to draw her out of her shell. And if she's not careful, his knowing green eyes and wicked smile will make her feel things she's no longer sure she deserves.

But even as Dusty coaxes Jos to open up about the past, he's hiding secrets of his own. Secrets about the night her old life fell apart. When the truth is finally revealed, will it bring them closer together;or tear them apart for good?
