Alone With You in the Ether

A pretentious self centered wank.

Both main characters alternate between unbearable and slightly less unbearable.
The writing style is pompous, meandering and often meaningless-adjacent.
The romance - there were a couple of very well done scenes, but it was all tainted by cheating.

The first half of the book was a pseudo-intellectual drivel about the meaning of things and how nobody understands. Same was at the end.
The middle was a fever dream of unhealthy over-attachment, possessiveness and mania.

If I hadn't read this for a reading challenge, I would've DNF-d early on. I kinda wish I had.
