Not for the faint of heart, Sex & Coffee: A Bitter Little Time Capsule of Love is a raw, voyeuristic look into a toxic relationship.
At twenty-one, Destiny Jones seemed poised for success. She had talent, a promising acting career, a scholarship to NYU, and a gorgeous, well-endowed boyfriend who worshipped her. But just beneath the fragile surface, a terrible storm raged. Secretly living with Borderline Personality Disorder brought unique challenges that would ultimately reshape her path. While at NYU, young Destiny had no idea why she was so angry all the time or why she craved intensity the way others crave sex and coffee. It would take losing something precious for the reason to become clear.
Spanning twenty-five years from 1994 to 2019, the non-linear story (told through love letters & diary entries) unfolds in two distinct voices. Matthew's tear-stained letters, written while Destiny was in New York City, bleed with lovesick despair. Interwoven with Matthew's letters are Destiny's shocking, unfiltered diary entries, written in the wake of their sudden breakup in the winter of 1998 and make 50 Shades of Grey seem tame. They paint a vivid, visceral, and disturbing portrait of an undiagnosed Borderline female soothing herself with anything she could get her hands on. Do you recognize her plight in someone you know?
Dark, pornographic, funny, and gobsmackingly honest, Sex & Coffee is a confession in two parts-one lover writing to hold on, the other writing to let go. In tandem, their words form a literary time capsule of love, loss, unspeakable pain, and the profound connections that haunt us across time and space.
*The content of this book was inspired by *actual* love letters and *real* diary entries that have been creatively reimagined. Names, places, and graphic details have been changed to protect the innocent. Parental discretion is strongly advised.
*This is the rare, original cover of the book that was first released on August 16, 2020.
