book nook: the wednesday letters

the wednesday letters
jason f. wright

after reading the twilight series, i was in need of a change in pace (a 25 year old can only read so many teen fiction books in a row before it starts becoming a little ridiculous, haha) and this book was definitely just what i needed.

the 'wednesday letters' refers to letters written by a husband (jack) to his wife (laurel) every wednesday from their wedding night until their passing. when these two characters pass away, jack's letters are unearthed by their adult children (matthew, samantha, and malcolm) and the novel basically follows the discovery of these letters and the uncovering of hidden family secrets while also following the 'present dramas' in the lives of the grown children.

i found myself getting caught up in the story line, sympathizing with characters, and tearing up at the ending - all signs of a good book. from family drama to forgiveness, this story touches on many things. it's a nice and wholesome, and will probably leave you feeling the warm fuzzies when you turn over the last page. a great book if you're looking for an easy read that won't take you long to finish. :)
