At many points, Regan is truly manic (not in the funny personality sense but as in DSM criteria mania sense), makes questionable personal decisions, commits a criminal act (this is never really addressed) and shapes her world entirely around Aldo and how him being a genius and wanting her somehow elevated her personal value. Gallery images of our book boxes show an example of what may be included – treat and gift content may differ.

the writing style felt pretentious to me at first; how dialogues switch from being in first person i to being in third person she or him.When Regan and Aldo's worlds collide, a chance encounter at the Art Institute, they bank on six conversations, a measure that elevates their relationship to an alternate world. but this one is different, it’s not for anyone else just because i don’t know how to describe this book for anyone else. About the Author: Olivie Blake is the internationally bestselling author of The Atlas Six, Alone with You in the Ether, One For My Enemy, and Masters of Death. As someone who can't imagine going off medication atp, the author's story was so relatable and so inspiring. But most notably, this sashaying of perspectives is like a needle threading the two together until, at the end, we witness them as a seamless whole viewed from the outside with a conversation entirely narrated of he said and she said instead of a duality of perspective.

Regan did not enjoy honesty, she hated it, was repulsed by it and by her own truths especially,’ and the way the readers perceptions on Regan morph over the course of the book—and with new revelations on her life—emphasizes the way a person seems always in flux. The fact that I even finished this book is an accomplishment for me because I came thisclose to dnfing it more than once. 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.i was meandering through the reviews on this and found some of the popular ones describing how this was glamorizing deteriorating mental health, etc. I will not understand how this book is classified as a romance when it felt like a horror story in my eyes. There is a musicality to it, but it is like every instrument in a band trying to all take a solo at once in the cacophony of feeling so much you aren’t sure if you can contain it. There was something about 'Alone With You in the Ether' that drew me in, tangled me in its abyss, trapped in the world of these two complex characters. There is also the issue in which medication and therapy are painted as obstacles to true love or feeling anything at all.
