Alone With You in the Ether
A love story like no other and a Heat Magazine Book of the Week
By Olivie Blake
Harry Hartog's review
This book was tender, heartfelt, and undeniably beautiful. I’ve loved Olivie Blake for ages (her fanfictions are great lol) and this novel did not disappoint. The romance between Aldo and Regan is complex and honest but entirely real and romantic. Blake captures the difficulties involved with love with so much care and delicacy that you can’t help but feel that these characters are real and in love and living amongst us. - Jess, Harry Hartog Penrith
Description
From the no. 1 international bestselling author of The Atlas Six.
'Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent' - Chloe Gong
Chicago, sometime. Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. After their meeting, those things do not change.
Everything else, however, is slightly different.
Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. The truth - that he is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician and she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage - means the deeper they fall in love, the more troubling their reliance on each other becomes.
Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a glimpse into the nature of love, what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken.
