I've always found that music is a very important part in setting the mood or creating an atmosphere for both reading and writing. Therefore here is a carefully composed list of songs and artists allocated to each chapter.

Overall the book was named after 'Prettiest Star' By David Bowie. Although the song doesn't exactly fit with the story (Nor that entire album), I highly recommend a listen. It's a classic and was pretty much the inspiration behind some of the parts of the plot.
