More summer loving on the blog this weekend! I’m happy to welcome Charlie Dio, one of the authors in Summer Feels: A #romanceclass Anthology, here to share a playlist for her short story, Busy Out of the Friendzone. Check it out!

It is a fact universally acknowledged that friendship can sometimes be the very barrier that prevents a person from professing his feelings of love to his/her friend. This is the core plot-point of Busy Out of the Friend Zone in #romanceclass’ Summer Feels anthology.

To get into the thick of things while I was writing the story, I had a few staple songs that I kept on repeating in order to fully immerse myself in the characters, and I would be really honored to share them here with you.

Pro-tip: Check out the lyrics of the songs!

1. Sway by Bic Runga

2. Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore by Reo Speedwagon

3. Not a Bad Thing by Boyce Avenue

4. Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth feat. Meghan Trainor

5. Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Cailat

If you happen to be in the exact same predicament as the characters in my story, and you find yourself unable to express how you feel to that one friend you’ve been in love for years, I hope you give my short playlist a listen! I’ll be sending virtual doses of courage your way, and maybe you can find the words to say how you feel! Good luck!

Oh, and thank you, Ana, for granting me a space in your awesome blog!
