Gabriela is a woman learning to survive the kind of grief that quietly rewrites who you are. When a sudden loss fractures her world, she turns to the wrong places for love — situationships that bruise more than they heal, silence that hardens into isolation, and work that cracks under the pressure of her unraveling. Her unlikely anchor becomes Monari, a therapist haunted by his own failures. Together, they orbit one another through moments of tenderness, conflict, and confession, two wounded lives colliding at the edges of despair. The Second Arrow asks what happens when survival becomes muscle memory, when memory itself is both comfort and curse, and whether love , even fragile, imperfect love — can become a form of rescue.
when love leaves, I am so reckless—
short dresses, long sweaters, lipstick
so red it’s a warning flashing in the night
but no one’s paying attention
and it ends up on a boy’s shirt collar anyway.
I hurt myself just to prove I can.
I smoke cigarettes I don’t want
and drink liquor that comes in plastic bottles.
I fall asleep drunk and screaming at
love:
LOOK. YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN DESTROY ME.
LOOK. I CAN DO IT MYSELF.

Feliz: I am learning a lot about hockey because of the almost commentator-like transcript that is part of the storytelling style of the book. I like it. Coming from a country where there is no hockey culture, I am beginning to understand why it has so many fans.

lblomme: I always love a story where good overcomes evil. The sad start, the growth, and ultimate strength of the main character was well done. The story never lagged and ultimately delivered a happy ending even for characters who were less than stellar. Well done!
