This Is All Your Fault by Aminah Mae Safi

Why did you decide to create such a contrast? And why pair it with such an ominous time measuring device as a countdown? However, the novel and the development of Daniella, Rinn and Imogen has an immensely hopeful and celebrating tone. Teen girls taking inspiration from literature and making their own statement and art out of it is for sure the This Is All Your Fault This is All Your Fault is centered around the Wild Nights Bookstore and Emporium closing, which is quite a sad premise. “Wuthering Heights” by Kate Bush, because even though she’s British and ethereal- the song was written by Bush when she was a nineteen and she caught a film version of Wuthering Heights playing on BBC. Because that’s the iconic background music to the scene at the end of Empire Records when they dance along the rooftop and I couldn’t not have that song on the playlist.

The need to scream that they’re going to give someone else hell at the top of their lungs. I know so much of the music of my youth is deeply uncool now, but I think all three of my girls- Imogen, Daniella, and Rinn- find that core inside of themselves. “Gives You Hell” by the All American Rejects. This Is All Your Fault is my summertime book so I wanted the playlist to feel very summer, very Classic Americana.īut if I had to pick three songs off of it: If you were to create a playlist that described This is All Your Fault, which three songs would you include?įunny enough, I have a playlist, here. There’s a Fast and Furious reference in every one of my pieces of published fiction. Thank you so much!
