A Love Letter to Whiskey

Product Information

I wasn’t sorry the first time I kissed you, even when you weren’t mine, and I’m not sorry I kissed you the other night, even when I wasn’t yours. Because the truth is you’ve always been mine, and I’ll always be yours, and that’s just the way it is." They seemed like the perfect Barbie and Ken, she was a cheerleader and he was a basketball player. Jaimie was my best friends boyfriend. This novel had me aching. It was the sweetest, most delicious torture that demands you listen. I can't describe how lost I was in Whiskey. And I also, can't even express how much Jamie and B owned and destroyed me as a reader. I connect to both of them. And never once did I get angry at these characters. Frustrated, yes. Angry and bitter, no. They were so honest, so raw and real. So authentically flawed. This story was magnificent. I cannot say that enough times.

Jamie was whiskey, that much I was sure of. I couldn’t deny the way he burned, the way his taste lingered. Still, no one warned me that once a whiskey girl, always a whiskey girl. But I was figuring it out." One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking books I’ve ever read!!! I don’t think I’ve ever come across anything like this. THE WRITING WAS INCREDIBLE. I loved the analogies + metaphors. A story about UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. I always loved that, the first sight of him, the first hit. It was a little jarring, like a slight burn, but the aftertaste was smooth, welcoming, like an old friend calling me home.” It's 2:30 am and I just spend the last three hours getting lost or in this case drunk on your lyrical and poignant prose. How can this one story consume me? Have me strangely intoxicated? Addicted? It's simple. One taste of your raw words was all it took. It didn't take much because shot after shot of your literary brilliance, you left me feeling numb, high and sated. I wanted to drown in whiskey. I wanted to feel whiskey. I wanted to be vulnerable to whiskey. I wanted to love whiskey. I wanted to hate whiskey but I couldn't because whiskey didn't consume me. It was your words Kandi Steiner that I was addicted to.The first epilogue yes this book has kinda two epilogues. The first one was cruel and happy and sad and I get why the story was written that way. But the second epilogue was everything and seeing them happy and in love was all I wanted. I was on cloud nine when I saw the glimpse of their future. It was so adorable and perfect the way it was always supposed to be. This book leaves you feeling obsessive. You can't stop thinking about it. You can't stop running scenes through your head. The story is all-consuming. And for this only being my second Kandi Steiner read, I am now hooked on her. I want to read EVERY BOOK she writes. I can't get over it. I can't get over the level of angst and, most importantly, the way this book made me feel.

Love is never easy. Love comes with sacrifice and pain. Love needs patience. Love has its plan but it’s up to us to uncover it. And this book does just that. Overall, I will definitely recommend reading the Fifth Anniversary Edition of 'A Love Letter to Whiskey'- experiencing B’s POV & then getting Jamie’s POV after definitely did make my experience a FULL one. I don’t know how I would have survived reading only B’s POV…IYKYK. the biggest player in the game of life is timing — and you either have that player on your team, or you don’t.”Their story felt wrong yet right at the same time and I couldn't stop loving them and they both deserve the happiness. The things they did to be together were wrong and the way they hurted other people along the way was wrong. It's always them and other people. But I'm glad they finally found their happiness together the way they always wanted and it took them years of heartbreaks and pain to finally get it. And I'm so so happy for them 😭💗💗 I love them so much even if they are idiots. For me they are ✨️SOULMATES✨️ and always have been from the very first moment Jamie saw her. I saw him first, but it didn’t matter. Because he saw her.” // “But she was wrong about one very, crucial point. I didn’t see Jenna first. I saw her. I just didn’t think she saw me.” pain of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars A Love Letter to Whiskey by Kandi Steiner

I hated him, I loved him, I hated myself for loving him. I hated myself for letting him go, for letting him find someone else. I was furious, but the truth was nearly everything he’d said about me was true.”Even when we know something is bad for us, we do it anyway. Maybe for the thrill, maybe to cure our curiosity, or maybe just to lie to ourselves a little longer.” When Jenna breaks it off with JaimIe as the year draws to an end, him moving away to start a new school, to B and Jenna becoming seniors. Everything changes.
