jamie shaw will forever hold a place in my heart. also the SPICE. mr shaw🤭🦋literally on my knees for you. By the first chapter of this book, I was fully invested in the story and in the main character, B. B meets Jamie her junior year of high school. It doesn’t start out as love, but friendship. Jamie and B become the best of friends, but so much more is between them. This story spans a decade. A decade of love, loss, friendship, heartache and emotion.

just makes sense. you’re practically whiskey on legs, anyway. the color of your hair, your eyes, the way you smell — it’s like your spirit drink.” Love is the most powerful and real emotion we feel, and I think it’s sort of magical that we can experience some of the greatest loves of all time through books." NO CAUSE HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LET ME BELIEVE THERE WAS NO HAPPILY EVER AFTER UNTIL THE VERY LAST SENTENCE?!? I WAS A MESS. Ten stars for this brilliantly written love story. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐫𝐚𝐰. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐞𝐝. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧." — 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘉𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳 𝘒𝘪𝘮 𝘒𝘢𝘳𝘳⁣⁣ I feel like this review has been a lot of rambling and I’m not giving this story the type of review it deserves. It’s because my emotions are all over the place. This story is bittersweet. It’s heart-wrenching and soul shattering. And it absolutely blew me away. It’s a book that you’ll love to hate and hate to love. I feel like no matter how you feel after reading, YOU WILL FEEL. This is a story that will elicit strong feelings from everyone who reads it.It took too long for me to realize I’d dropped that beautiful bottle of whiskey. Too long to realize I’d broken it. By the time I figured it out, too long turned to too late, and I remembered all-too-well the other way Whiskey can burn.” There's more courage in admitting you love someone and fighting for them than letting them go because it hurts less."

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. I think, my first mistake, was going into this with high hopes, I've heard it was so good I wouldn't be able to put it down, that the angst was phenomenal and I wouldn't regret it, and as a self-proclaimed angst-whore there wasn't much to be said to convince me.... This book thaught me to be careful who I trust next time. You will savor Whiskey to the very last drop, and the hangover will be worth every heart-wrenching second. Steiner’s writing is as smooth as scotch, as heady as whiskey, with a sweet afterburn that will leave you addicted. — Bestselling Author Staci Hart Stalk Kandi

But wait, isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?” B smiled at me, waiting for me to tell her she was right. And maybe, had this been eighteen-year-old me, I would have. But I knew the truth now.

Emotional, passionate, intense, all consuming and overall hardest romances to read. But SO worth it. It was a journey for love that you will feel from ALL angles.I was spinning, tipsy, teetering on the edge of being wasted on Whiskey. I’d dreamed of kissing Jamie so many times, but nothing could compare to how it really felt. Jamie's POV is slightly more juvenile & cheesy but like who cares we're young and free and girls and it's okay Now, five years later, I’m thrilled to bring you Jamie’s side of the story. In a novella that was supposed to be short and sweet and ended up being a whopping fifty thousand words, Jamie tells his side of the story…⁣ He's whiskey and addicted just like B said and I loved his character from the very start. He is easy going, down to earth and smooth as hell. I swear I did get drunk off of him because he's just so so damn fine. The moment I read his side of story I loved him even more because he always loved her and he gave her space and time even though he's own heart was breaking. He deserves the happiness for me they both do. He was always so good to B and he put his heart on the line like no other guy would and just for her and he didn't deserve the way B treated him. He was such a perfect guy but may be B was just blind for years. I love him so much and I'm so happy that he finally got the life he always wanted. I shrugged, “Just makes sense.
