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

Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time by Rob Sheffield book tells the story of Rob Sheffield’s musical coming of age and how rock music, the first love of his life, led him to his second love, Renee. The book is a tribute to their life together, which was cut short when Renee died suddenly on Mother’s Day in 1997, only five years after they were married. The story is told through the mix tapes that they obsessively compiled, which provide a window into their relationship and the music that they loved.
