Slated
By: Teri Terry
I chose these songs because she goes through hate, fear, love, and friendship.
Coming Home by Diddy
At the beginning of this book Kyla has to start over with her life. All her memories are erased and she doesn't know who she is anymore. What she does know is shes going home. To a brand new family.

Fight Song by Rachel Platten

I Hold On by Dierks Bentley

Kyla is trying to remember who she is most of the book. She knows she used to be a criminal because she was slated. She has nightmares every night of her hands getting smashed so she could no longer draw. She doesn't know if she should try to link that to her past or not. She wishes she could remember her name at least because she's not a fan of "Kyla Davis." She's trying to hold on to what she remembers and what she used to have.
