Mix Tape by Jane Sanderson
4.0

I was really excited to read this book as I thought the storyline was great. Mix Tape tells the story of Alison and Daniel both as teenagers and then thirty-odd years later when they unexpectedly come back into each other's lives.

I loved how the book moved between 1978/9 and 2012/3 and between Sheffield, Edinburgh and Adelaide. Jane Sanderson manages to do this really well and with great clarity so it is straightforward for the reader. I also really loved the premise of the 'mix tape' itself and the modern version when in 2012/3.

I really enjoyed Mix Tape, but I thought it was a touch too long and I wasn't as invested in Alison and Daniel as I probably should have been.

I definitely enjoyed Mix Tape and I'm glad that I read it, but I'm not sure I would hurry to read it again.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for providing an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
