Every so often you read a book- or play in this case- that truly leaves you breathless, a different person from when you began. This is one such book. I don't know who this author is but I can't wait for more of her work! When I first started reading it I really had no expectations but I can say with confidence now that I most definitely have the highest of expectations from her (hopefully) forthcoming work. The Mixtape tells the story of young Polly and how she overcomes the demons of her childhood, namely her abusive father. The story was poignant, horrifying, and even funny at times. It is very well-written and will grab your attention from the start. Just be prepared to experience some deeply buried emotions you had just about forgotten existed. This is a book you will remember for a long time. Well-done!
