Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake
3.0
Hmm. A conflicted 3.5. First 2/3s of this book were so stellar, Blake really is an excellent writer and I find her prose beautiful. It’s slow and character driven which is how I like it but can see how it could be discouraging to potential readers. Regan feels incredibly real as does the tension and intimacy between her and Aldo, their conversations echo favourites I’ve had.
However, I feel like it lost me in its conclusion. It felt rushed and superficial in both conflict and resolution, I think maybe I wanted it to Hurt more than it did. I also can’t tell if it’s my general aversion to smut but some lines were kinda ridiculously jarring. Would still recommend!
