Each chapter of The Girl on the Bathroom Floor holds a piece of my heart, and these songs are the soundtrack to those moments. I carefully paired each track with a chapter, choosing music that mirrors the raw emotions and tenderness I poured into the book. These songs are more than melodies; they’re companions through grief, hope, and resilience. My hope is that as you listen, you’ll feel the connection and healing within each note. –Amber
