Love Is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield

5.0

You gotta love a book with a built in soundtrack! Sheffield, a Rolling Stone music critic, goes over some of his mix tapes and how they relate to his love life. We listen along as he meets his future wife, dates her, marries her and spends married life in her shadow. We witness his wife's sudden death and Sheffield's attempts at getting on with his life. Sheffield sprinkles music criticism and stories of being a rock journalist into the story. I can't think of another book that has made me laugh incredibly hard in one paragraph then have me tearing up in the next.
