I was invested in the story and the characters. This was the most difficult story I've read, but it was worth it. I loved the author's metaphorical use of whiskey and alcohol addiction throughout the story.A Love Letter to Whiskey was told mainly form B's POV, however in this fifth anniversary edition readers get the opportunity to read Jaime's POV in Love, Whiskey. Expect repetition of scenes of you choose to read Jaime's story. However, reading his POV provides the closure not offered in A Love Letter to Whiskey. Now while this may have been fiction, A Love Letter to Whiskey highlights the power of love to survive time, distance, mistakes and misunderstandings. It demonstrates that love can bring both joy and pain. While the story was toxic, angsty and frustrating at times, I found the story interesting and enjoyable.I listened to the audiobook while reading the e-book. Lauren Sweet narrated A Love Letter to Whiskey while Edward Black narrated Love Whiskey. They both did an excellent job of giving voice to both characters. They captured their emotions and attitudes with perfection. Their male and female voices were on point.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
