It genuinely ripped my heart out. I have never read a book that genuinely felt so heart-wrenching.
The narrator of the audiobook said it best:
āI remember leaving the booth every day feeling totally gutted in the best way possible. It was an experience of putting all my emotions on the table, because that's what Whiskey asked of me. Some books reach deep inside you and demand you pay attention. They grab hold of you and don't let you go. Not until you've consumed every last drop.ā
āI love books that delve deep into the human experience, that make your gut churn because you know they're talking about something so real that it scares you.ā
If you have ever experienced a twin flame, then this book will impact you in a way you never imagined. As someone who has experienced the kind of love that this book talks about, it brought out emotions in me that I thought Iād buried. It made me angry, it made me smile, laugh, cry, but most of all it made me hopeful.
This book will be one that will stay with me for a long time, because even the thought of it leaves a heavy feeling in my chest in the best way.
Please, do yourself a favour if you have ever felt like you met āthe right person at the wrong timeā, and read this book.

A Love Letter to Whiskey is beautiful, itās heartbreaking, itās hard to read at times, itās hard to stop at others, and itās one that stays with you long after itās done. It felt like more than just a book, like these characters are truly out there somewhere.
B and Jamieās love story is messy and painful, but just feels so real. Thereās so much deep love between them, so much passion they try so hard to restrain and fail miserably at because theyāre so weak when it comes to each other. There were so many missed opportunities and bad choices that you just want to shake the characters. I actually had to stop listening to the audiobook during Bās parts because it was too easy to hate her if I detached myself from it, I had to read her with my own voice. And she is so angry at herself as she details her story that you know sheās aware of all her mistakes. Reading Jamieās side of the story was healing though, and it was then hard to hate her when he reminds you that he was also at fault. And he loves her so much, and she makes him happy that you have to let it go and see her through his loving eyes.
This is the kind of story where the real villain is life that gets in the way. But B and Jamieās love is so strong it just keeps resurfacing until they finally get their HEA. It is a grueling 10 year journey to get there, but it does indeed happen and itās so worth it! I cried a lot with this book, and some of my biggest tears may have been at the end at finally seeing them getting to be happy together.
It may sound crazy after this long winded review basically detailing all the ways in which this book has hurt me, to say that I absolutely recommend it and is an easy 5 star āļø read, but thatās the truth. I read to feel and get lost in a story and this book completely swept me away! Itās going on my list of favorites now.
