Alone With You In The Ether by Olivie Blake, the number one, international, bestselling author of The Atlas Six.
By chance, sometime in Chicago, two people meet in the armoury of the Art Institute.
He is a doctoral student, who deals with his invasive thoughts by making psycho-neurotic calculations regarding time travel. She is a bogus artist who is undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy treatment (for bipolar disorder).
After their meeting, those aspects of their characters remain unchanged.
Everything else, however, is somewhat different!
As both have obsessive, off-the-wall personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan attempt, but fail, to be without each other after their brief encounter.
He is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician. While she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage.
As they fall deeper and deeper in love, the more perturbing their dependence on each other becomes.
When two people, who have minds that are both super-intelligent and mentally disturbed, meet, they soon find that their mindsets clash.
In Aldo and Charlotte’s case, will this result in an explosion that tears them apart or will the outcome end in a fortunate union of minds and souls?
This is another astonishingly complex and heart-churning puzzle from this inspirational and motivated author.
A definite must-read for 2023!
