Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake

Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake

Alone With You in the Ether is a deeply poetic, intensely intimate contemporary romance novel by New York Times bestselling author Olivie Blake (the pen name of Alexene Farol Follmuth, widely known for The Atlas Six). Originally self-published in 2020 before being traditional re-released by Tor Books, it has become a cult favorite in the BookTok community.

Unlike standard romance tropes, this book acts as an avant-garde, philosophical exploration of mental illness, mathematics, art, and the hyper-fixated, intoxicating nature of human connection.

The story takes place in Chicago and follows a chance encounter between two deeply complicated, brilliant, and mentally neurodivergent individuals who meet by accident in the Art Institute of Chicago.

• Regan Greer is an incredibly wealthy, brilliant, and profoundly fragile woman who works as an art consultant. She lives with bipolar one disorder and is currently court-mandated to attend therapy and take regular medication after an explosive public breakdown. Regan experiences the world in extremes of blinding, manic colors or absolute, soul-crushing grey. She views herself as fundamentally unlovable and broken.

• Aldo Damiani is an intensely rigid, brilliant, and socially isolated doctoral candidate in theoretical mathematics. Aldo struggles with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, profound social anxiety, and a mind that constantly calculates timelines, probabilities, and the decay of the universe to cope with existential dread. He views the world strictly through data, numbers, and geometric patterns.
