It was okay. Nothing special but cute I guess. A quick read and it reminded me of Dan and our days of making mix tapes and all that wonderful stuff.
If you made a lot of mix tapes, had a punk rock significant other who was your bff, and/or like pop culture, give it a quick read.

Favorite book of all time

Nov 1: Third time around and still hits just as hard as the first time. 100/10

"You lose a certain kind of innocence when you experience this type of
kindness. You lose your right to be a jaded cynic. You can no longer go
back through the looking glass and pretend not to know what you know
about kindness. It’s a defeat, in a way."

This book was as much about relationships and loss as it was about music. For me, some of the musical references were a bit obscure (that could be my age talking), but that didn't hamper my enjoyment of Sheffield's writing style and the way he reflected on the events of his life.

Loved it...sigh...
