With a compelling synopsis, captivating opening and unique storyline… “Wednesday Letters” had all the fixings to be BANGER. And when selected as my book club’s (EyeCU Reading & Social Network) holiday pick, I was excited for the change in pace, but for me...The story was slow and shallow and fell short of delivering the wow factor that it opened with. I will say, in a day and age where handwritten letters are nearly non-existent, I found the weekly love letters to be a sweet and refreshing addition. Overall, something different than my norm but not the warm and fuzzy, feel good read that I was hoping for.
Always have enjoyed how the concept that words meshing together will create a beautiful story. This is just such a story -2 actually. They both will make you smile,make you laugh and may even have you tear up. I know I did! Loved this book -and admire the author's talent. Just may try starting a wedding letter notebook for my cousin's granddaughter. Will be reading more of Jason's works.--P/
A little different read then I'm used to. Kind of a cross between love story, personal growth for the characters, humor and sadness too. Three adult children get word that both of their parents are dead in bed together the same night of natural cases. Preparing for the funeral they find a stash of letters. Their dad had written a letter to their mother every Wednesday of their marriage. Truths are discovered as the children read the letters.
Loved this book (first one) and the layout of it! It’s about an old couple that eventually die of old age together which brings the kids back together. The old man would write a letter each Wednesday to his wife and this is found by the kids which leaves them to find out secrets about not only their parents but about them as well!
I loved this set of books. Interesting characters and enjoyable storyline. Very fast reads. Interesting from the first pages. Sorry to see the stories end.
I like how at the end of wednesday letters, there actually is a small envelope attached on the back cover, giving you the experience of reading the last letter firsthand.

Letters written by their father to their mother, who both died on the same day, throw Matthew's, Sammie's, and Malcolm's perceptions of their parents off kilter. Wonderful book! Wedding Letters is a great sequel to The Wednesday Letters. I loved getting to know this family and sharing their joys and their sadness.
