Charming, comical, and uplifting!
"Make Me a Mixtape is a sweet, heartwarming tale that takes you into the life of the hardworking Allie Andrews who, after walking away from a burgeoning music career a decade earlier, now finds herself spending her days recording 80s cover songs, working in her aunt’s cafe, and trying to deny a blossoming attraction to a sound technician who was once one of her band’s biggest fans. The prose is tender and smooth. The characters are multilayered, amusing and endearing. And the plot is a smart, engaging tale full of life, loss, love, friendship, tricky moments, awkward situations, miscommunication, delicious chemistry, romance, tension, self-reflection, and a soundtrack of some of the most unforgettable 80s songs. Overall, Make Me a Mixtape is a light, refreshing, entertaining tale by Whiteford that I thoroughly enjoyed and which is a solid choice for fans of contemporary romance novels that are brimming with humour, heart, hope, and music."
