The Mixtape by Brittainy C. CherryMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Mixtape was an ok read to listen to. I enjoyed how the story unfolded, however I felt the narration from both narrators was a bit slow. I had to speed up the book so it didn’t feel so dragged out.
I liked both Oliver and Emery, the connection that they had and how they both grew the longer they knew one another. They both enjoyed music and it was something that they bonded over. Oliver was unable to get help to forgive himself. I felt Emery was too quick to push Oliver away.
I felt a few threads weren’t tied up properly. A story from the past wasn’t addressed, and seemed either part of Oliver and Emery’s connection, or completely irrelevant. Emery’s parents were nasty… I couldn’t believe how heartless they were. Oliver’s family and friends were awesome. Overall, an ok read, just didn’t have any wow factors for me.
