The idea of having friends and family write letters for a couple to be married is awesome. It's been awhile since I read The Wednesday Letters so I had to figure out some of the characters mentioned. Good clean story. A little predictable but surprises too ( ) This book was recommended to me by someone that knew a lot about what I read but did not know me. I got the book, was skeptical because I read over many genres, but started what looked like a fairly simple read. This is a story of a husband who promised to love his wife forever and in doing so he would write her a love letter every Wednesday of his life. The book includes more than just letters and with that said I became oddly drawn to one character. This is a uniquely sweet story that may just be too sweet for some. Many readers can like bad characters in spite of but not always can a reader like the really good for the same reason. This couple is faith based but live in an imperfect world and "secrets" are released in reading the Wednesday letters. I enjoyed this easy read greatly and was impressed to find that the author Jason F Wright had attached me to the right character for a reason and did so rather unbeknownst to me as I read. I received an ARC from the Book Expo in NYC. While the rep explained this was a follow-up to a previous NYT Best selling novel, she promised I didn’t have to read the first book to enjoy the second. Sounds great! The storyline sounded wonderful, pretty unique considering the overdone fantasy, werewolf, vampire, and sci-fi novels. I did no research on Mr. Wright or the Wednesday Letters and gleefully immersed myself into the Wedding Letters. Then the eye rolling began… I feel terrible writing this but the writing was flat. There was no depth, the characters were underdeveloped, and the dialog was a gag-fest. I won’t give direct quotes from the book because it is an ARC, but there were some instances where the writer wrote like a man trying to think like a woman and it really failed miserably. Honestly, it was cringe worthy. Ack! Maybe it was me? Perhaps it wasn’t completely edited? I mean I was reading an ARC, after all. So I began reading the reviews on The Wednesday Letters…hundreds of glowing reviews, all praising this effervescent story. Then I hit the one and two star ratings and BAM! No, I wasn’t missing something. Many readers had similar complaints. I wanted to love this story because there was really so much potential. But, it was laborious at best. I kept thinking to myself “Why are you wasting your time reading this drivel when there are so many more interesting books on your nightstand?” I hate giving up on books, I really do. And I really hate giving bad star ratings. But I have to honestly suggest passing up on this book. There are sooo many great reads out there right now, don’t waste your time on this one.
