Alone With You in the Ether: A love story like no other and a Heat Magazine Book of the Week

Product Information

As someone who can't imagine going off medication atp, the author's story was so relatable and so inspiring. it just ended with more pretty, empty prose wrapped around a barely formed concept of time travel, multiverses and soulmates who are not really that.

There is also the issue in which medication and therapy are painted as obstacles to true love or feeling anything at all. The beginning might confuse you and might leave you scratching your head but godddd, this story was so beautiful. Alone with You in the Ether explores what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken.Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. i found myself looking forward to hearing their thoughts on different theories and ideas and learning something new.

Aldo on the other hand, looks straight into the present, or the future, almost always lost in quantum matters. I will never understand how this is labeled as a romance when it left me horrified, concerned that impressionable readers will seek out toxic relationships similar to this, and the fact that therapy and medication is subtly made out to be the wretch in their relationship, the thing that’s holding them back? Following two vulnerable and flawed characters who come together to form a deeply unhealthy, sex-addicted, codependent relationship, this book left me baffled that people can romanticize and idealize the relationship between Aldo and Regan when I was actively rooting for them to separate and seek help. What begins as romantic starts to look like a mental health spiral, and what comes easily at first is now fraught with fear and uncertainty, especially in Regan.i know this might sound awfully selfish, but if i could, i would keep this book to myself forever and ever and never let anyone approach it. From Olivie Blake, the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six, comes an intimate and contemporary study of time, space, and the nature of love.
