NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “humorous, heartbreaking, and heroic” (Entertainment Weekly) memoir of one man’s passionate relationship with an unforgettable woman, from their first meeting to her untimely death, told through the songs on fifteen mix tapes
“The happiest, saddest, sweetest book about rock ‘n’ roll that I’ve ever experienced.”—Chuck Klosterman

“A memoir that manages, no small feat, to be funny and beautifully forlorn at the same time.”—The New York Times Book Review
Mix tapes: We all have our favorites. Stick one into a deck, press play, and you’re instantly transported to another time in your life. For Rob Sheffield, that time was one of miraculous love and unbearable grief. A time that spanned seven years, it started when he met the girl of his dreams, and ended when he watched her die in his arms.

Using the listings of fifteen of his favorite mix tapes, Rob shows that the power of music to build a bridge between people is stronger than death. You’ll read these words, perhaps surprisingly, with joy in your heart and a song in your head—the one that comes to mind when you think of the love of your life.
