I wanted to share a new book with you First Day A Day In The Life Book Two by Mark E. Scott published by Speaking Volumes. I received a copy of the book in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
First Date A Day In The Life is book two in a 3 part series. David and I plan on reading the other books soon. First Date A Day In The Life has adult content so its for mature audiences as it touches on suicide and drinking.
Having survived their plunge into the icy Ohio River, Jack and Aria’s saga continues and First Date is still set in Cincinnati, but centers on its unlikely couple, Jack and Aria, who now must face adventures in exciting locales like a stinky riverbed, the back of a police car, an ambulance and a hospital.
The characters are quirky and they were fun to meet and First Date A Day I The Life Book Two kept me on the front of the book to the last page. The story flows right into the next book in the series which is suspenseful and full of drama.
About the book:
First Date, Book Two, the continuation of Drunk Log: It was a dark and snowy night, and Jack and Aria should have been dead. Instead, they find themselves shivering on a Riverbank, having survived a fall from the Bridge into the currents and debris of the Ohio River.
Lucky enough to slam into an anchored barge, they emerge from the Water stunned, bruised and still somewhat drunk. Now they must work their way through the muck of the Riverside to solid ground. Fully intent on ending it all just minutes before, Jack finds himself clinging to Aria for dear life—a life he feels just might be worth living after all.
Follow Jack and Aria through the next eight hours of their story—hours harrowing, ludicrous and poignant—as they grapple with law enforcement, EMTs, firemen, and the medical system. Confronted by an over-zealous sheriff’s deputy, the formidable Nurse Rita, and a drunken Priest with anger management issues, they are forced to navigate the immediate aftermath of their bifurcated bar crawl through a blizzard.
First Date is a story of individuals haunted by suicide, remorse and unanswered questions: questions whose answers are not to be found in the bottom of a bottle. Secrets are revealed and souls are bared, but answers are still elusive. For now, they only have each other, a notebook and a teddy bear.
