This audio edition is captivatingly read by a full cast of outstanding narrators.

From the internationally bestselling author of The Atlas Six, Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a glimpse into the nature of love, what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken.

Chicago, sometime. Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. After their meeting, those things do not change.

Everything else, however, is slightly different.

Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. The truth - that he is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician and she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage - means the deeper they fall in love, the more troubling their reliance on each other becomes.

Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a literary, intimate study of time, space - and a love story like no other.

Far from your average love story . . . well worth the ride (Heat)

The narration is stunning . . . 100% recommend (Utopia State of Mind)

This is a book to savor (Publishers Weekly)

Lethally smart. Filled with a cast of brilliantly realized characters, each entangled with one another in torturously delicious ways, The Atlas Six will grip you by the throat and refuse to let go (Chloe Gong, author of These Violent Delights, on The Atlas Six)

As much a delicious contest of wit, will, and passion as it is of magic, this book is half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight (Holly Black, author The Cruel Prince, on The Atlas Six)

Coolly horrific, brilliantly brainy and utterly compelling (Daily Mail on The Atlas Six)

Thank you!

Thank you, thank you Olivie
For truth and honesty, for one of the best books ever written.

Performance really captures the unique writing style

This story absolutely did not resonate with me, I found the characters super pretentious and annoying. But the audio book was well done.
