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

great book but that's not what i'm here to discuss.the cover of the copy i received was not good. first of all, the book is supposed to be beige. the copy i received was purple. secondly, the letters on the cover were pixelated. thirdly, there was a weird line across the front that was clearly some kind of printer error.i'm not happy with how it looks.

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.

My Goodreads review:"I haven’t read a book this good in a while. I can’t stop thinking about it. Jesus 🥲Olivie Blake’s writing has me on the biggest chokehold!The themes of this one are just top tier for me: ultimately you are loveable and loving no matter how “broken” you think you are, that your other half doesn’t complete you but you are two whole truths separately and together, what you have is on a holy level. The time quest in this book? EXQUISITE. Also she means Heisenberg in this book, how am I supposed to not love it?“”We map things,” he said, “and chart things, observing and modeling and predicting, because we have no other choice, and this is the language we have agreed, collectively, to use. Because we have agreed, collectively, that to proceed without knowledge or understanding is a stupid kind of bravery, an impulsive kind of blindness, but that to be alone without wonder or curiosity is to chip away any possible value we might discover in existing.”How is one supposed to recover from this?I will make it a personal goal to read all her published work - I would say wish me luck but after reading this and TA6, I wish her books luck because they will become the pinpoint of my obsessive tendencies 🤭😂"The spine came a little damaged but honestly it doesn't bother me. Plz read this book!!!
