Review: The Wednesday Letters


New York Times bestselling author, Jason E. Wright, has written an absolute MUST-READ! The Wednesday Letters will inspire you. Upon opening this book, I quickly became submerged in a world of love and forgiveness. It's a page-turner; the first time I read it, I couldn't put it down, and I have re-read it countless times since.

Jack Cooper vows on his wedding night to write his newlywed, Laurel, every week. He vows to her that, no matter what, he will always stand by her. This tradition ends when Jack and Laurel Cooper die on the same night, 40 years in the future.

The Cooper children return home and we follow them as they grieve the death of their parents. They stumble upon thousands of letters, written from Jack to Laurel, and begin reading them aloud to each other. Little do they know that some of these letters carry a family secret so big, it could change their lives forever.

The Wednesday Letters is one of my favorite novels. The story is rich with detail and emotion. The characters are dynamic and memorable. It is filled with humor and suspense that will keep the reader on the edge. This is a story of forgiveness, redemption, and the ties that bond family. 


Don't you wish you were the type of person who could write a letter to your significant other once a week? Just to have a tradition like that would be incredible. Imagine your children finding the letters when they grow up, or maybe when you're gone. Your children would have an opportunity to see your life, know what struggles you overcame, and understand what made you, YOU.

I recommend that everyone read The Wednesday Letters by Jason E. Wright. It's the sort of novel that can be read over and over and never get old. The story is something so original and touching, you won't soon forget it.
