Sometimes, death can feel like the only escape.It's been a year since Alex stopped living. He exists. He breathes. He pretends to be like everyone else. But, he doesn't live. Burdened by memories, he dreams of the day when he can finally be free. Until that time comes, he keeps everybody at bay. It's been easy so far. But he never factored in, meeting a man like Austin.Hard-working mechanic Austin has always gone for men as muscular as himself. So, it's a mystery why he's so bewitched by the slim, quiet man with the soulful brown eyes who works in the library. The magnetic attraction is one thing, but the protective instincts are harder to fathom. Austin's sure though, that if he can only earn Alex's trust then the two of them could be perfect together.A tentative relationship begins. But Alex's secrets run deep. Far deeper than Austin could ever envisage. Time is ticking. Events are coming to a head, and love is never a magic cure. Oblivious to the extent of Alex's pain, can Austin discover the truth? Or is he destined to be left alone, only able to piece together the fragments of his boyfriend's history, once its already too late?

But since the main topic of this story was about depression... I found it odd that Alex went along with this relationship thing in the first place. Because in my head, when someone has suicidal thoughts, they do not want to start a relationship. Of course they can't help if the feeling are creeping up on them, but Alex fell into this thing with Austin way too quickly. He protested at first, but then gave in to Austin's attempts. This all happened when I reached the 30% mark and they were practically living together. To me that's fast. And I didn't feel like they spent enough valuable time together in order for Austin to fall in love so quickly. They barely talked, well... Alex barely talked.
But like I said the main focus of this book wasn't about two men falling in love, but about how someone can live with depression without anyone noticing. Alex did a great job of altering his mannerisms, but not that great, cuz it was pretty obvious to me. Austin was so damn oblivious, or he just didn't want to see the signs, I don't know. I think it should've occurred to him sooner that something isn't right.
We got to find out what happened to Alex that made him depressed so much he didn't want to live anymore through flashbacks.
And if anyone needs a trigger warning, let's just say that what happened to him was horrible.
Overall it was good, but the romance was not satisfying to me.
And the first few chapters could've been better edited.
I would be happy to read Wilko and Mark's story, if it happens. ( )
