'Packs a surprising, epic, life-affirming punch' THE SUNDAY TIMES 'Sheffield's self-depreciating memoir of his late wife Renee is remarkable ... You'll leave feeling uplifted' Q magazine 'A memoir that manages, no small feat, to be funny and beautifully forlorn at the same time' NEW YOUR TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'As well as being a poignant account of youthful love, LOVE IS A MIX TAPE offers a witty and affectionate portrait of liberal, alternative small-town American life in the decade of grunge' TLS 'No rock critic - living or dead, American or otherwise - has ever written about pop music with the evocative, hyper-poetic perfectitude of Rob Sheffield. This is the happiest, saddest, greatest book about rock n roll that I've ever experienced' Chuck Klosterman
