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 <br>“The happiest, saddest, sweetest book about rock ‘n’ roll that I’ve ever experienced.”—Chuck Klosterman<br><br>“A memoir that manages, no small feat, to be funny and beautifully forlorn at the same time.”—The New York Times Book Review <br>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. <br><br>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.
