This book was so emotional. My heart truly broke for all the characters and oh my god I had such strong feelings toward Emery’s parents, top tier villains. The story was extremely touching and I was rooting for their happiness. Reese is sassiest five year old to exist and I can’t even explain how much I loved both Emery and Oliver. Bad things happen to good people. Docked a star because overall the writing was not the best, sometimes it felt a little awkward and wattpady and the two short spice scenes felt really forced and unnecessary, fade to black would’ve been better.
The Mixtape tugged on every single one of my heartstrings.
I felt each ounce of Emery’s struggle as a single mom trying to keep it together—thread by thread—and support her daughter despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. She loves with her whole heart. While others might be cruel or unfeeling, Emery extends infinite grace towards Oliver when he is at his absolute worst.
Even though he’s a famous singer, Oliver is an anxious introvert with a soul so tender it brought tears to my eyes. The destructive ways he tries to cope with his grief touched me deeply. Emery comes with her own painful baggage. Oliver’s life is made better by having Emery in it and vice versa. I liked the slow burn of their romance and seeing them gradually discover happiness.
Emery’s five-year-old daughter, Reese, is quite the sassy gem and a huge source of joy. She is guaranteed to bring tons of smiles when things get a little too emotional. There are also a couple of surprises that make the story even more enjoyable.
The book handles the subject of depression with both compassion and a realistic brush. It doesn’t portray it as mere sadness that someone can snap out of if they just try hard enough, nor does it paint it as something that can be cured solely by the love of a good woman or man. The story delves into other difficult subject matters with equal care.
Through the ups and downs, my heart remained full.

I loved Oliver and Emery and was rooting for them both through the whole book. This was so enjoyable but heartbreaking at the same time. I just wanted them both to get the happy ending that they deserve after going through so much. Such an amazing book.
This book was a great pallet cleanser to the things I’ve been reading recently. I loved it. I didn’t feel like it was too slow or it dragged on. It gave so much detail and I am in love with Oliver. The come back was amazing. The only thing I went to know is what happened with the parents after the confrontation?
