Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time by Rob Sheffield

For music lovers (and anyone who has made or listened to a mix tape or CD); for readers of hip writers like Dave Eggers, Chuck Klosterman, David Sedaris, David Rakoff and Augusten Burroughs; for fans of Rob Sheffield's music writing in Rolling Stone, for readers of memoirs on overcoming grief like Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking. Boy is a geek. Music saves boy. Boy meets girl. Boy makes girl a mix tape. Boy and girl fall in love and get married. Music can't save girl. LOVE IS A MIX TAPE is a classic love story with a modern soundtrack, and like nothing you've ever read before.
