"The Backtrack" resonated deeply with me as an elder emo millennial. I really enjoyed feeling a connection to the characters because of the genuine nostalgia. The mixtape idea was adorable and unique, and the descriptions of the early 2000s were accurate.
But the romance seemed so superficial. I didn't feel a strong bond between the characters other than being reminded that they were best friends in their early years.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the story's portrayal of more serious subjects, which provided much-needed depth. All in all, it was a quick and enjoyable read that brought back some wonderful memories.
