This review is from: The Last Love Letter (Paperback)

THE LAST LOVE LETTER was quite a different read for me. Amanda Easton bares her soul, literally, as she puts her thoughts, feelings and emotions to paper. It was a courageous move and I applaud the author. It's not always easy for one to express their feelings, but Easton fluently conveys her passion. THE LAST LOVE LETTER is an unforgettable book that I'd recommend to all young women.

5.0 out of 5 stars Obsessive Exploration, August 21, 2008

This review is from: The Last Love Letter (Paperback)

It took me a moment to get it, to remove my preconceived notions about
what a love letter should be, and my amazement that someone wrote an
entire book that contained just one love letter. After reading a few
pages, I shook my head, closed the book and exhaled. Instead, I examined
the appealing cover and studied the lovely drawn woman. Then the
subtitle caught my eye: "The First Step Is Admitting You Have a
Problem.." With a smile, I finally caught the rhythm of this work and
immersed myself in its incredibly, emotional words.

Amanda Easton scripted and published a Spoken Word masterpiece, giving
the reader a glimpse into her soul. She reveals the heart and mind of a
true poetess, a real writer; obsessively enraptured with someone who
barely knows her and certainly doesn't love her. To that, I can
certainly relate, and therein lies the genius of this work. After her
accusations, cloaked in victimization, and her indictments, drenched in
righteous indignation, the truth seeps out. The truth that many of us
face: searching for fulfillment in the idea of love, regardless of the
man we demand love us.

Amanda's Easton's delivery is engaging. Sometimes tumultuous, and
other times downright hilarious, she makes the reader cringe with
embarrassment and laugh out loud at her sarcasm. With clever
metaphors, careful themes and colorful descriptions, this love letter
displays the intimate crevices of the heart. But her truthful
realization is the gem of this emotional collection. She
examines herself with a clarity that most of us avoid, for fear of what
we would see. She discusses how flawed, hurt and possibly unlovable we
really are.

One of my favorite passages of the love letter comes during her
discovery. "And some of us are slightly deranged, Gorgeous girls, Who
give good love, Looking for our Daddy, In every stranger we touch."

This work is very clever, witty, and unflinching. Amanda Easton's THE
LAST LOVE LETTER is simply a classic.

A crush can take a long time to die, especially if it's never acted upon. "The Last Love Letter" is Amanda Easton's story about letting go and the law of attraction. She tries to write a final love letter to the object of her affections, but she finds it's nowhere as easy as it sounds. In the process she ends up discussing love, romance, sex, honesty, expectations, and other things sought along the road to companionship. "The Last Love Letter" is a first person dive into the subject, sure to enlighten and entertain anyone who would pick it up.
