The Mixtape

The Mixtape was one of my Amazon First Reads selections for June. I waited for the audiobook to be released before digging in. There were some very sad themes in this book and author Brittainy Cherry executed them well. So well that I actually teared up and at one point I cried pretty heavily. The characters were relatable and even the supporting characters were written well. I loved Oliver and Alex's parents! Their love and fun nature came right off the page. I found myself simultaneously streaming the songs mentioned in the background as I was reading. The audiobook narrators were superb. Warning for a few sensitive subjects that might disturb certain people: death of a twin; rape; suicide; drug use.
