The Playlist is a sweet, emotional, and irresistibly romantic childhood-friends-to-lovers story that captures the nostalgia of growing up—and the thrill of finally getting the love you’ve always wanted. When Zoe stumbles upon the “box of dreams” she made as a kid, she’s hit with the heartbreaking realization that her life looks nothing like she once hoped. In a moment of clarity (or panic), she walks away from her comfortable-but-empty relationship and the job that’s draining the life out of her. That collapse is the beginning of something beautiful she never saw coming.
Enter Zander Davidson—her best friend’s brother, long-time admirer, and the guy who has been quietly waiting for the right moment. When he finds out Zoe is finally single, he doesn’t waste a second. With the help of his sister and his boss (who happens to be Zoe’s dad), he plans the ultimate grand gesture: a road trip designed around the Love Story Bucket List Zoe wrote as a child. Their journey is filled with playful banter, heartwarming moments, and the kind of soft, steady love that grows when someone sees you—truly sees you—and chooses you every time.
Morgan Elizabeth blends humor, vulnerability, and swoony romance in a way that feels effortless. The Playlist isn’t just a love story—it’s about rediscovering yourself, choosing joy, and letting someone love you the way you’ve always deserved. Zoe’s leap of faith and Zander’s patient devotion make this a heartwarming, feel-good read with all the butterflies of a perfect friends-to-lovers romance. Charming, sexy, and full of heart, it’s the kind of book that leaves you smiling long after the last page.
