Despite not being much of a modern romance reader, Alone With You In The Ether offers much more than your average romance plot, sure there are miscommunications, family issues, fights and usual sex scenes, but at it’s core, the novel is about these two characters. Aldo and Regan.
Their patterns, their shapes, their habits.
About how one shape has the power to alter another, making it so that neither of them end up exactly as they began.
The analysis of space and time match perfectly with the tone of the novel, which feels like a scream into the void. Like a collision in the middle of the universe.
Alone With You In The Ether isn’t a book that I would classify as a favorite just as I finished it, but it is certainly a book that I’ll still think about if I get the pleasure to be 85 years old.
And maybe then, after turning many corners, I’ll find out it has always been a favorite, as it will always be, only slightly differently.
