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

cute... exactly what you think it's gonna be.

OMG...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book- finished it several weeks ago- I would highly recommend it- It made me Laugh out loud and cry as well.

ganske så genial.

I didn't like this book, which makes me feel a bit mean because it's (ostensibly) about his dead wife and I feel obligated to like it. Honestly, though, I found it tiresome, full of name-dropping (he's a writer for Rolling Stone) and more about himself and his own hipness than a tribute to his wife.

Honestly, though, I found it tiresome, full of name-dropping (he's a writer for Rolling Stone) and more about himself and his own hipness than a tribute to his wife.
