Finished The Mansion's Family and looking for more? You've come to the right place! Haven't finished it yet? Don't read on, there are spoilers ahead!
Playlist
"I am not fly, I am levitation!" Finally, a perfect song for my girls, especially Ellie. The dream of flying, the struggles the twins face, this song sums up all of it.
I would love a female cover of this song, or better yet, a male/female duet. This is Hannah and August. | Eva and Jordan's theme song. If The Mansion's Family were ever made into a movie, I feel like this is the first song that would play at the end credits, because where this book ends, their story begins. |
Another song for the Senka twins, very specific to this book.
The songs of Cassandra Senka, because I'm not done smashing your heart to pieces! One of these, is, of course, acapella. "Crying for no reason" is mostly her own feelings, while "Run" is fully dedicated to her daughters.
Alright, now that we've finished being sad about the twins' mother, let's take a moment for their father. Travis has already lost Cassandra, and he knows there's a lifespan difference between himself and Susan. This song is for them.
Okay, before you scroll down to the next song, I need you to do me a huge favor. Everyone I've played this next song for absolutely hates it, because they have an idea in their brains of what it's "supposed to be." I love mashups and covers, because that's how songs adapt to different stories. So I need you to pause for a moment and open your mind just a teeny bit before you press play.

"But this song is depressing! 'Let it Go' is a happy song! This doesn't work at all!"
*Siiiigghhhhh* ...I tried. I'll always love this no matter what anyone else thinks! This mashup was made for Jerome, and perfectly sums up his feelings toward Eva. Personally, I love this song and the singer, and see this as a completely separate thing from Frozen. Once you can separate them, and play this as Jerome's song about his daughter, I really, really think you'll love it too.

Alright, moving on. This song is for Eva, and I love this cover. Not only do I love Pentatonix, but the solos in this song make it seem like a duet between Eva and Jerome. | Dece may be new, but she gets a song too! Rolling in the Deep sums up her relationship with Jerome, as do several other Adele songs. |
And lastly, another song for Eva. I felt it appropriate to end with a song of hers, because like I said, her story begins at the end of this book. This song is Eva letting go of her past, and looking forward to her future with Jordan and raising Dece's babies.
