Wow, the blurbs were totally correct on this. It was definitely deep and dark, very dark.

The story is about suicide and is told from multiple view points. I found it interesting how differently everyone reacted to the news of Jack's suicide.

While yes, it was deep and dark, it was very well written. I definitely had to read a "feel good" book after this one. That doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a chance. It just means that I think the author did spot on with it in this book.

Thanks to the Disassociated Voice and Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

First, I want to thank Sarah Marie Graye, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

The Second Cup by Sarah Marie Graye’s own very personal story of batting mental illness for over 40 years. In her first novel she wanted to reach out to others whom may be going through this as well.

I absolutely fell in love with this cover of this book. It was absolutely beautiful and do perfect for this book I thought. Kudos to whom thought of this idea and for whom designed it.

My heart broke when Faye lost Jack. The description of how she felt when she lost him and what she was feeling you could feel the pain. I kept thinking as I was reading this Jack must have been someone very special. I wanted to give Faye a hug and tell her I was sorry for her loss.

I was so relieved for Abbie whom at 29 was not pregnant with Paul’s child. I was relieved because they were in a loveless marriage that was not really going anywhere. Divorce was on the horizon. Nobody wants to bring a child into that situation. Sad, but true.
