Alone with You in the Ether is nothing short of breathtaking. It’s a work that transcends traditional storytelling, feeling instead like poetry woven into prose. The language and imagery evoke art, the infinite, and the intangible, pulling you into a story that’s as much about the characters as it is about the intricate web of emotions and ideas they embody. I was completely swept up in its mania and beauty, moving from page to page in awe of how deeply this piece of literature resonates with me. It’s a book that you don’t just read; you experience every moment as a part of its profound, intimate world.

Let me start off saying this book is BEAUTIFULLY written. The writing is poetic, the switches between the narrative is unlike any I’ve read before, and it is complex and beautiful. I loved it up to 75%. It explores time, love, and mental illness through bees, hexagons, math, and art. The writing style makes the characters and their troubles so deeply understood whether you love or hate their love story. I wished more for the ending and it fell short.
