Book #30: Love Is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield
Oh my oh my. I was not expecting this book to be so heart wrenching. Completely honest in his story, Sheffield recounts his love story with his wife- this bouncy, strong, creative lady who you want to grab onto and be best friends with for the rest of your days. This book’s main flaw is that I wanted more: more about the significance of the songs on the mix tapes, more about his wife, more about what happened after she died, more more more more more. As someone who has framed many lost loves, lost friends, past heartaches with music, I appreciate that Sheffield frames his love and loss story with music too . I haven’t listened to all of the 80s & 90s music he talks about, but I can relate to that sentiment, that holding on to memories through music.
