A touching and beautiful tribute to love.
I admit, probably like most of the people reading this book at my age, I read this book simply because Harry Styles recommended it. I figured it would be a guilty pleasure read and I would turn my mind off during it, but I was pleasantly surprised.
A very loving tribute to his late wife. I don't really want to deep dive, as I feel as though I have nothing negative to say and want to leave the TBR's to be pleasantly surprised as I was.

I remember despising this book which was a book club pick.

A heartbreaking story, and probably a must-read for any kind of music-phile, but ultimately a little generic.

This book made me feel like I was living in the nineties and having my heart broken by my non existent wife when I’m clearly a very proud 2000s kid and won’t be marrying anyone any time soon. Rob Sheffield’s prose got me, it was relatable even though he’s clearly talking about an adult experience and grief I cannot begin to fathom, he made me laugh and I had to close the book at times to take the information in and sigh.
The thing that affected me the most was Sheffield’s deep relationship with music and how not just his marriage but all of his relationships seemed to revolve around music, how music was this central, vital part of his life. I couldn’t help but relate to him.
This memoir is about love, music, musicians, loss. This memoir is a time machine.
