About the author

Hi. I'm Nick from New Jersey by way of New York City. I believe in the healing power of professional wrestling. I believe everyone should be fostering animals from a local shelter. You can find me on Medium, you can find my band, Bobby Teenager, on Spotify/Apple Music/Google Play. You can find me in midtown Manhattan, probably eating a sandwich in the park.

I bought this book off one of my followers on Tumblr. He'd written a book about music and relationships, and growing up, and I thought, what do I love more than those things in a book? So I went to the page he'd set up, and I bought a copy. It arrived in the post about two weeks later, and I set it aside for a bit while I finished other books off.

When I finally got around to reading it, I was pleasantly surprised, whilst there were a few grammar issues and a lack of gaps between paragraphs (which made for hard reading sometimes) the book was genuinely pretty well written. It's the story of the author growing up, but it's fictional. Each chapter is a song and the book is 'mixtape'.

I really enjoyed how real it was. It had no sugar-coating, and it was raw. I'd definitely read anything Nick Orsini wrote in the future. He has that voice that knows that music is a defining part of life, and that's what I like when reading a book.
