ANSWER KEY

If you answered mostly Aâ??s . . .

When Harry Met Sally

The peanut butter to your jelly. The yin to your yang. The ice cream to your pie. On the side, though, of course. You fall in love with your best friend. For you, the best relationships are those rooted in friendship. Tread carefully however, because once you cross the line from friends to more than friends, itâ??s difficult to go back.

If you answered mostly Bâ??s . . .

Sixteen Candles

You tend to like someone you barely know, but youâ??re sure is your perfect soul mate. Go after that hottie! If you never at least try and talk to the dreamboat you see on the subway every day, youâ??ll never know if he or she is the one for you. Be careful that you donâ??t place your crush on too high a pedestal without knowing more about him or her. Often, getting to know someone is the best part!

If you answered mostly Câ??s . . .

Pretty in Pink

You prefer your quirky crew to large groups of people, youâ??d rather carve your own way then go with the flow, and youâ??re proud to be you. But you have fallen for the complete opposite of yourself in every way.

If you answered mostly Ds . . .

Say Anything

Extravagant dates, surprise presents, and an overwhelming amount of likes on all your Instagram postsâ??music to your ears. Cupid tends to strike out of nowhere with you and though you didnâ??t know someone a month ago, you now canâ??t imagine life without him or her.

The Promise of Amazing - â??Ultimate New Jersey Playlistâ??

There are so many incredible performers from the Garden State that I didnâ??t know where to beginâ??but tying their music in with some of the themes and situations in The Promise of Amazing narrowed it down quite a bit. The following is just a sampling of the amazing musical offerings from my home state!

1. â??Itâ??s My Lifeâ?? by Bon Jovi (Sayreville, New Jersey)

â??Itâ??s My Lifeâ?? is an anthem for when you feel like no one understands youâ??which is exactly how Wren feels as the book opens. Itâ??s about listening to your inner voice, standing up for who you are and what you believe in.

2. â??Celebrationâ?? by Kool & the Gang (Jersey City, New Jersey)

This song reminds me of my job as a catering waitress. It was the first song the band played after cocktail hour, and wedding guests always crowded the dance floor. The Camelot band would definitely have this on their set list!

3. â??Teenagersâ?? by My Chemical Romance (New Brunswick, New Jersey)

I imagine â??Teenagersâ?? to be the kind of song Grayson loses himself in when heâ??s down in his basement pounding out his frustration on the drums.

4. â??Maybe Tonightâ?? by Nicole Atkins (Neptune, New Jersey)

This is the perfect mood music as Wren pages through her brotherâ??s yearbook to stalk . . . um . . . piece together information . . . on Grayson. Wren knows Grayson might not be the best person to get involved with, but she canâ??t help but be fascinated by him.

5. â??Close to Youâ?? by the Early November (Hammonton, New Jersey)

Graysonâ??s attempts to charm Wren keep failing to bring them together yet heâ??s determined to keep trying. This song captures Graysonâ??s struggle to get beyond his past so he and Wren can be together.

6. â??One Way or Anotherâ?? by Blondie (Hawthorne, New Jersey)

The perfect song for Andyâ??s partyâ??where everyone seems to have a hidden agenda.

7. â??Summer Windâ?? by Frank Sinatra (Hoboken, New Jersey)

A classic. This is the song thatâ??s playing when Grayson tucks a flower behind Wrenâ??s ear and she decides to take matters into her own hands.

8. â??Because the Nightâ?? by Patti Smith (Woodbury, New Jersey)

Sexiest. Song. Ever. Wren and Gray in Guinevereâ??s Cottage. Need I say more?

9. â??Canâ??t Take My Eyes Off of Youâ?? by Lauryn Hill (South Orange, New Jersey)

Ah, young love. You know when you canâ??t get enough of each other? And you know how it canâ??t be that intense for that long, but itâ??s so great while it lasts? Yes, that.

10. â??Only a Memoryâ?? by the Smithereens (Carteret/Scotch Plains, New Jersey)

Graysonâ??s past finally catches up to him. That hopeless feeling when you know itâ??s your fault and all you can do is watch as everything slips through your fingers.

11. â??Born to Runâ?? by Bruce Springsteen (Freehold, New Jersey)

This song epitomizes the restlessness of being stuck in a small town that â??rips the bones from your back.â?? Itâ??s Luke going to Princeton, and what he means when he tells Grayson heâ??s â??getting outta here, for good.â??

12. â??Having a Partyâ?? by Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes (Ocean Grove, New Jersey)

This song conveys the joyfulness at the end of the novel, when everything is fineâ??even if itâ??s just for a night.
