Reviews - Love is a Mix Tape: A Memoir

I liked the concept of the book but felt that as someone who isn't familiar with the music mentioned here, it just didn't speak to me as much as it could have.

This was such an enjoyable and inspiring read for me. Whilst not necessarily being a “page turner” I found the memoir form structured around cassette tapes so interesting and thoughtful. The memoir revealed so much about love, human nature, loss, friendship and life - and how life can carry on the move on after tragedy. Also filled with nostalgia, the book had me longing for a 90s teenage hood I never had, and inspired me to use music and art more as a way of connecting with people.
