Love Is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield

5.0

---

This is one of my daughter's favorite books, and for good reason. Having read Joan Didion's account of mourning, I couldn't help but think of this as the Year of Musical Thinking. It's a great read, and it often felt like conversations I have with my husband about music (only his and Sheffield's musical tastes don't quite line up all the way -- but they are close enough to feel comfortably familiar).
