Mix Tape is a love letter to music, and to love. I thoroughly enjoyed the time hopping writing style though it was a little hard to follow in ebook format at times. But watching Alison and Daniel during their first relationship alongside their new lives and loves lent the eventual coming together more meaning. As we learn more about who they were, we understand better who they are, and the choices that they're making.
I definitely need the playlist for this book and I will re-read it and enjoy it all over again. Some how Alison and Daniel managed to fall for two people who don't love music the way they do, who don't live it and breathe it. So it seems only natural that they would find their way back to one another, to where it all began.
I've never been one for the "I didn't realise my life was miserable until *insert whirlwind romance here* came along" stories. They so often cause someone else pain but we're not supposed to care because our main character is happy - looking at you Letters to Juliet and Leap Year. But Jane Sanderson doesn't shy away from their current lives, doesn't let them get off easy. And that makes it so much more believable, and heart felt.
Also I loved that Alison said "you can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness" and I've got ten Australian dollars that says her husband doesn't recognise those lyrics. I wonder how many more I missed though.
Although the subjects are only touched on Sanderson deals with topics such as alcoholism, and to a lesser extent dementia, with a very graceful hand in my opinion.
