sarasreading 's review for:

Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake

3.5

reflective relaxing sad slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Yet another book where my expectations were different from the actual content of the book, and I actually read a blurb before reading. I suppose because of the title, the blurb, and the cover, I thought there was going to be some sci-fi/magical realism aspects to this book, which would have taken it to another level for me.

I wasn't expecting it to just be contemporary romance. Granted, beautifully written, with well crafted unhealthy characters using unhealthy coping mechanisms, but contemporary romance all the same.

And I was bored. The thought provoking writing kept me going for sure, but it wasn't enough to elevate the story into something truly special for me.
