Alone With You in the Ether

By Olivie Blake

Book Overview

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. An intimate study of time and space, ALONE WITH YOU IN THE ETHER is a fantasy writer's magicless 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.

Can't wait to reread

I loved this book. It's witty, empowering, funny, & just all around brilliant. The characters all have mental health issues but try to see the best in each other. It's a lil spicy but in a beautiful & kind of hilarious way. I wish there were more books with it because I would love more of the story & characters. Can't wait to read it again! Definitely worth the read especially for those into art & sciences!
