About this book
In the quiet, echoing halls of the Chicago Art Institute, two fractured souls collide. Regan, a brilliant but volatile counterfeit artist living with bipolar disorder, navigates the world through impulsive shifts in reality. She views her existence as a series of alternate timelines, each rash decision birthing a new version of herself.
Aldo, a doctoral student burdened by the crushing chaos of the world, relies on rigid routines and complex calculations about time to keep his internal collapse at bay. When they meet, the collision is seismic. Regan is drawn to the structured silence of Aldo’s mind, while Aldo finds himself fascinated by the unpredictable intensity of Regan’s spirit.
Their connection is not a cure for their respective struggles, but rather a catalyst for a profound, often painful transformation. As they engage in a series of six pivotal conversations, the boundaries of their carefully constructed lives begin to blur. They are forced to confront the wreckage of their pasts and the terrifying uncertainty of their future.
This is an intimate, atmospheric study of how two people, despite being irrevocably broken, attempt to rewrite the variables of their existence and find a love that persists within the ether.

AlexiaA Beautiful Slow-burn Love Story About Loving Even When You're 'Broken'
"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. ["

LTDDuniquely beautiful take on love
"This was such an eloquent story of life and love from the perspective of people who are different. A beautiful representation of mental struggles, the meaning of love through the vision and surfactants of mental disorders. A story of two people finding themselves by finding each other and learning to move and waist as one in a life and the ether! ["

"This book was extremely poetic in a really beautiful way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it just because of the way it was written. The plot and main characters left some to be desired, but overall it was an above average story with below average plot. ["
