Alone with You in the Ether

This book is both complex and simple, just like love. Beautiful and unique read about a love story like any other.

I loved it!! The character were very dimensional and I thought it was very well written

This was deep and beautiful and sad and complicated and I loved it so much. The writing is unique and takes a second to get used to at first but it’s like a mixture in the mind and it was just really lovely.

This book was super cute. While it was a little slow story wise it had an interesting writing style and a cute story that I just wanted to keep following.

Alone With You In The Ether has captivated me in a way that no romance novel has before. It is beautiful, literary, philosophical, magical without being fantastical, romantic, and intimate. It feels like baring a part of your soul to another, it conveys the intimacy that comes with a conversation with someone who doesn’t simply listen to what you’re saying because listening is the easy part. It conveys the feeling of the intimacy that comes with someone who engages with what you’re saying no matter how little they understand what you’re talking about simply because they find it- you interesting. It conveys the feeling of letting someone into your space, and allow them to get to know you- not the façade you might put up, but the real and the messy, even if it’s done inadvertently because they see you, see through you.Alone With You In The Ether is one of the best romances I’ve read in a long time and I will continue to think about it for a long time. It’s a truly underrated book that I want to recommend to everyone I know. It’s a book that made me think deeply about love, life, time, and art. It’s a literary romance in the best sense of the word and because it is a romance novel, there is a happy ending, or as happy as it could be given the personalities of the characters. But it is a happy ending.I really do highly recommend this book. It’s a lovingly told love story with two flawed, but deeply fascinating characters at its center and a message that just because you have issues doesn’t mean you can’t love or you don’t deserve love. It’s literary, philosophical, intellectual, and romantic. No other book has left such an impact on me. No other book made me reread after I finished it. It quickly became my favorite book and it surprised me in such a good way that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully articulate.

"It isn’t constancy that keeps us alive, it’s the progression we use to move us. Because everything is always the same until, very suddenly, it isn’t."This is a character driven novel, with troubled characters that struggle with mental health issues, who have found each other and built something better. It reminded me a bit of Sally Rooney until it didn’t.I loved the writing, the different voices and the geometry of the prose.I had one major problem/ concern with the book regarding how medication was depicted and how therapy was used by Regan. However, the last chapter and the acknowledgments allowed the author’s redemption (in my opinion).I absolutely recommend the reading.

THIS BOOK. This book is a literary work of art.“If this is what it is to burn, he thought, then I will be worth more as scattered ash than any of my unscathed pieces.”Just think “A Beautiful Mind” and “Silver Linings Playbook” have a baby and it is everything and more. This book made me feel ALL the feels and I will never be the same.

I don't know how to describe the revelations and connections I felt while reading Olivia Blake's book. I had to keep on checking in with myself to see if I was really understanding this book as a sort of a reflection with the way my brain thinks--mostly. I am a neurodiverse person but haven't been diagnosed with bipolar however, I'm rethinking getting evaluated. This book was full of rapid fire thoughts that I have never read in a book, maybe I haven't found those books but the story between Regan and Aldo was beautifully complicated, so vivid, all encompassing, them together being so different and completely the same, a true math/life/relationship equation, and intimacy on steroids. Thank you Ms. Blake for sharing this incredible truth of a book. It seems that a door opened up in my brain to push me to create and accept my thought process --- finally. Can't say enough tks.

Ainda não terminei, mas é o tipo de leitura que tenho precisado fazer com pausas para ir processando o impacto do que acabei de ler! Muito bom mesmo!

Absolutely LOVED this book. I couldn’t put this down!The writing style was immaculate. It was poetic yet realistic. The dialogue was so sharp and the characters just seemed so real. I loved how the POV would change in a subtle way so that you always felt like you had the most intimate read on a character. It was truly brilliant. I loved every word!However… I am quite disappointed with the physical book itself. The writing on the front cover’s title and the back cover’s book description is blurry and seems to be low quality. The design on the book’s spine seems to be misprinted… one side of the spine is empty and the other side bleeds onto the cover.Despite that, the story was great and I’m still happy to have a physical copy of it. I just wish the printing & binding of the book was a bit better quality!

One of the best books that I have read in my life so far. The writing is reflective of a neurotic state of mind—word-heavy, lyrical, dense. This story was so beautiful that I don't know what to do with myself. FELT.

It’s a great love story, I could not put it down. It’s different, sometimes difficult to follow but in a good way. It reminded me to live more
