In the three hours that I was held hostage, I felt like I was on an emotional roller-coaster going through the motions and the unexpected twist and turns. In all honesty, I needed a drink after reading this book because my heart and emotions were scattered and beating wildly as I drank in every mistake, love, hurt, and loss the hero and heroine experienced.I let myself be broken for nearly another month before I started on my own twelve-step program.I I was clean. But if a friend recommended this book to me, she/he would be forever in my "sh*t list", so I definitely am not recommending it to you... A: YES! And, it also includes a brand new novella (which is really almost a full book because it's a whopping 50,000 words!) written from Jamie's POV. You can relive some of the biggest plot points from his perspective AND find out what happened after the epilogue in B's version. A Love Letter to Whiskey is an utterly raw gripping addictive read. This book was built on a symphony of raw emotions. Emotions that left you frazzled, confused, hurt, angry, sad, and wildly intoxicated. Steiner did not write an ordinary love story but instead a story that left you savoring every drop of her poetic and stunning prose. To the very last drop, you will want a taste of whiskey. You will want to know and experience a selfish kind of love. An addictive kind of love. And most importantly a love that is honest. Real. Raw. A love that leaves you vulnerable and breathless.
