ALONE WITH YOU IN THE ETHER

Robb Moreira and Sura Siu portray protagonists Aldo and Regan in this contemporary love story. Regan, a bipolar counterfeit artist, and Aldo, a depressed math professor, meet at the Art Institute and strike up an unusual conversation. They continue to meet, discussing their interests and drawing closer. Siu illuminates Regan's bipolar states by mixing tempos and changing pitch. Moreira brings Aldo's matter-of-factness and attention to detail to light through even tones and articulation. The cameos at the beginning of the story are a bit distracting as the audiobook takes on a play format. However, the later cameos work more naturally within the dialogue. Do not miss author Olivie Blake's note at the end of the book. S.K.G. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2023]
