Love Is a Mix Tape
by Rob Sheffield
Oh man, I really loved this book. Sheffield is a music encyclopedia in human form and I couldn't get enough of the music and popular culture references throughout the book.
The bottom line here is that music brings people together and is there for us in our happiest and darkest times. It's pretty amazing how we associate certain songs with people we've met and events in our lifetime. Sheffield soundtracks meeting his wife, falling in love, building a life with her and suddenly losing her with perfectly curated mixtapes featuring classics from Al Green to The Rolling Stones, '90s rock from Nirvana to Pavement and the pleasantly unexpected Hanson, RuPaul and Missy Elliot. Some advice to anyone thinking about picking this book up... keep a box of tissues close by.
There are a couple Spotify playlists that feature every song mentioned in the book. Highly recommend listening while you're reading.
