I saw him first.
But it didn’t matter.
Because he saw her.He was my best friend, and I was his.
We couldn't be together, but we couldn't stand to be apart.And if you're not truly lovers... but you're so much more than friends... what exactly are you?
I’m clearly in the minority here. Based on all the glowing reviews, I expected to be blown away by A Love Letter to Whiskey, which only made my lackluster response all the more disappointing.
This is one long, drawn out love story. I’m an angst addict, and yet this tension-filled drama felt a bit overkill even to me. I enjoyed the special moments B and Jamie share, but the timing is never right for them, and their on-again/off-again relationship left me exhausted. I was frequently confused by their choices and the weak excuses that kept them apart.
A Love Letter to Whiskey is written solely from B’s point of view, which I liked, but the epilogue is less than satisfying. However, this fifth anniversary edition includes the novella Love, Whiskey, which is Jamie’s side of the story. I’m not sure his point of view adds much to the story, and if you read the books back-to-back like I did you’ll notice a lot of dialogue repetition that I skimmed. But the last couple of chapters and his epilogue are totally worth the read. They definitely make up for the original ending.
About Kandi Steiner
Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”
She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.
I think I passed on this one because I heard it was overboard on angst. I’m glad after reading your review!
