Mix Tape by Jane Sanderson
3.0
TW for alcoholism and rape
This book was nothing what I expected. I’d hoped for a cute little exes to lovers rom com through the shared experience of music. It was a lot deeper than that, and explored dark themes of poverty, alcoholism, and neglect.
The characters were endearing, and I wanted Alison and Dan to get together but oh my GOD it was a slog. They didn’t get chatting again until about 10 chapters in and when they did it dragged for so long before they met again.
I had the audiobook for this and can I just say how draining it was to listen to so many accents on one book: Sheffield, Scottish, Northern Irish, Australian, Portuguese, American (just to name a few). Oof, it was a bit much.
The writing was okay, a little bit repetitive and the storyline dragged.
Don’t think I’ll be going for anymore of Sanderson’s work.
