This playlist mirrors Simon’s secret turning into public pressure—starting with protective, inward instrumental moods, then moving through heartfelt vocal tracks about identity, friendship, and love’s nerves. It also captures the book’s teen-romance emotional swings: cautious hope, comedic stress, and ultimately steadier belonging.
