Book Playlist: Autoboyography by Christina Lauren

Have you ever finished a book and wanted to listen to music that reminded you of the story, of the characters? Or have you ever heard a song on the radio and just couldn’t stop thinking about that OTP you love? Have you ever looked for a playlist, but couldn’t find one to match the book you’ve just finished? Or are you just looking for some new tunes? We’ve got you covered!

Introducing a new segment to The Nerd Daily: Book Playlists! For our first instalment, you’ll find songs reminiscent of the YA contemporary novel by the author duo Christina Lauren! Essentially, this book is all about love between two boys who have had a hard time keeping the outside world from tearing them down, and it’s a perfect read for Pride Month!

Whether you’ve read the book and looking to reminisce, or just want to find some new songs to add to your playlist, enjoy this little trip down “memory book lane”! You can also find our playlist on Spotify!
