Halfway Down by B. Ripley

4.0

This story is in no way a hea romance. It deals with mental illness. There are parts that are romance in that Robin’s love for Alex to the point of him driving himself crazy and Alex’s love for Robin, which is never questioned. It is the dealing of these two men dealing with Alex’s depression. I feel the author handled the relationship extremely well. I also feel that the problems Alex faces are defined so that I felt a lot of Robin’s frustration. I believe that the conversation Robin had with his dad was one of the best pieces of advice he could have got and the fact he acted on it made me feel Robin had a chance of living and not just being on edge waiting for something to happen with Alex. Even though this is not a hea, I do see this as a satisfied for now. This is a issue these men will have to deal with the rest of their lives. It does give the small hope that they have found a workable lifestyle that deals with both sides. If you are a person already dealing with this I don’t advise this story because I feel it is more bringing to light the issue rather than turning it into a answer that everything is wonderful.
