Love Is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield

3.0

Parts of this book are amazing. The first chapter could be one of those absolutely perfect short stories. Each chapter starts with a mix tape track listing, and I badly wished I could listen to them while reading the particular chapter. The audiobook format really doesn't lend itself to that, alas.
So yeah, some spot on observations, some great music nerding, some totally making me cry my eyes out while driving.
But he can also be kind of annoying, and I'm not exactly sure what his wife liked about him, and there are some slow spots, especially in the first half, where I put it down and didn't care much whether I ever got back to it.
