Description
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.

I loved everything. I related so well to her, but that was far from the only reason I fell in love with this book. The choice of words? Astounding. Just the pure gift this author has to publish this book, is extremely evident. The story was beautiful. The book is beautiful. She is beautiful. He is beautiful. The way their minds work? Absolutely gorgeous. This book will be reread over and over and will keep a special place on my headboard. Even though I’ve read it, it is the kind of book you can read a million times and never get sick of. Plus, every time you read it, you recognize more things than you did the time before that. Please please read this book. My life is completely changed after reading it, and my purse will always be a little bit heavier knowing this book will always be on me.
