Love Is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield
4.0

I'm a sucker for a good mix tape, so reading about Sheffield's mixes was pretty entertaining. But the story of his wife was really the best part for me. He made me feel like I knew Renee, and she would be someone I'd be friends with. When I got to The Sad Part, it hit me hard, even though I knew it was coming. There's plenty of humor throughout the book as well, sometimes dark but often just clever and fun. Overall, a really enjoyable example of creative nonfiction.
