Reviews with content warning for Rape - The Mixtape

This is an emotional story about overcoming generational trauma, grief, loss and sexual assault. It is also about finding light in the darkness that life can throw at us and finding love through everything mentioned.
But overall, there is something I did not entirely like/enjoy about this one that I can not put my finger on. I felt like in certain areas it dragged along and there are certain parts that could have used more explanation that were left to our own interpretation I guess. The way music was mixed into this was a sweet touch and I can see that being a reason music lovers pick this one up.

It's been too long since my last Brittainy Cherry book. This was good but I just wished Emery and Oliver's relationship didn't go past friends. Their romantic relationship seemed kinda out of place for me. I will be leaving trigger warnings because this book has them in spades. The zealot religious parents were triggering me so bad.

This book tour a chunk out of my heart the entire time I was reading it I was either in tears or I was just happy. It was beautifully written and I think it was here when I really needed it. To say that this book is going onto my comfort List is an understatement because this book is if not the best book I ever read and it’s my top one.

OMG this is one of the best romance books I have read. The characters were so likeable and so relatable as they went though hard hitting moments which made me feel so many emotions for them there was only one character I didn’t like as she really irritated me. The story is so well told and told In such a way you believe ever single word. The author really took her time to make this book such a loveable book. There were some tears whilst reading this book and the start of the book hit me in my emotions as I didn’t expect it to start like that but it shaped how the story was going and the ending made me so happy. The plot of the book is well told and written. This author did a fantastic job with this book xxx
