Bravo to Bailey Bradford for bringing the "hidden issues" in this world out into the light. She writes this story with sensitivity and honesty.John is an average gay man, goes to work, comes home and tries to cope with his bouts of severe and debilitating depression. With medicine and therapy, he thinks he's doing a great job of overcoming his illness. He no longer hits the bars, no longer has the indiscriminate sex. He hasn't dated in two years.Then he meets Benji, who confuses the heck out of him with his hot and cold attitude, and lack of normal boundaries. He's drawn to Benji, but what does Benji want? John wants more than just sex, but is it so wrong to take what Benji's offered so far?John starts to realize what he thought was coping wasn't living; he was just going through the motions. That he's isolated himself and maybe it's time to go out and get back to living life.The characters in this story are very real people. John gives a very good look into the life of someone who is dealing with a mental illness and how it affects all aspects of their lives.This is a serial novel done in parts, so next for me is part two.Reviewed by Laurie Pfor TheRomanceReviews.com
