Reader reviews for The Atlas Six:'The most brilliant, immersive, magic-made-real book I've ever read! To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The problem and the thrill of abstract algebra was that Aldo had been studying it in depth for over seven years, and he could study it for seven million more and still understand almost nothing. i found myself looking forward to hearing their thoughts on different theories and ideas and learning something new.

Alone With You in the Ether plays with narrative structure and linear time to weave a story of two broken people crashing together like comets, and we, as audience, are witness to their glorious destruction. To love a person was to forfeit the need to place limits on them, and therefore to love was to exist in a constant, paralyzing threat. This is a love story, but not a love story, because it's complex, it shatters, it sometimes has jagged edges, which gives everything life. I would have enjoyed it if Blake continued this style more through the book as I missed it, but once the characters are established it instead turns more inward as they attempt to have more of a harness on their own narratives. From Olivie Blake, the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six, comes an intimate and contemporary study of time, space, and the nature of love.I can kind of see why some people love and praise this book so much, but for me personally, it was a huge miss. There is also the issue in which medication and therapy are painted as obstacles to true love or feeling anything at all. how the characters were viewed in an omniscient way; all their cracks and flaws laid out for us to comprehend. As someone who can't imagine going off medication atp, the author's story was so relatable and so inspiring. Their connection is superficial and deeply obsessive (they both don’t have a single friend and barely reach out to their family because they are all consumed by each other), and it concerns me that their ending connection feels like a triumph when they are not in a good place to be in a relationship.

She doesn’t know what to deal with first, the use of ‘love’ or the fact that it isn’t what she was expecting, or the idea that anyone can possibly think fondly of her brain when she has put almost no effort into molding it. While this book isn't necessarily a romance for me, its been a long time since I felt so connected to the characters AND the connection between them.There would be times, particularly at first, when Regan would attempt to identify the moment things had set themselves on a path to inevitable collision. I can't precisely describe how this book made me feel while reading it, however, to name just a few emotions, it would have to be: transparent, alive, awake and hopeful. As always, Olivie Blake brings her characters and her setting to life so vividly and with such precision that the whole book feels like it's alive.

Narrated primarily by Robb Moreira and Sura Siu, this program features a cast of cameos, including one from the author.

I wish all the metaphors from the first half could’ve actually meant something in the end, spoiler alert! There are some truly troubling messages about ignoring the signs of deteriorating mental health in this story and one harrowing scene in which Regan (having just semi-broken up with Aldo) has graphic thoughts of stabbing him and her family until she runs with blood. I wasn't able to connect at all for the better part of the first two chapters and then they went to the church and to say I ascended during that scene would be an understatement. Her style is such a gift for this story in particular, which zooms in on highly specific (and complex!

Alone With You in the Ether Paperback – June 20, 2020

Alone with You in the Ether explores what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken. Regan and Aldo fall into something far beyond existential, beyond the quantum physics Aldo obsesses over.This normally would not bother me, but between Regan and Aldo, there was sex, obsession, co-dependence and very little else.
