hlizmarie's review against another edition

I stayed up late because I just couldn't put it down. There were so many feelings and I woke up this morning thinking this is the type of book that just does it for me. I love that Mona is kind and so smart but really emotionally messed up. Abram is complicated and has darkness but his heart is so good (and it doesn't hurt that he's gorgeous). The secondary characters all make sense and have important roles to fill. The angst is for a great reason and make sense for both main characters instead of being contrived. The sexual tension is through the damn roof and I love it. I was left with tears just leaking out of my eyes at the end of the book and I had so many feelings. This is the unicorn book that we all hope to get each time we pick up a new one.

Better than the first, but if I ever see the words "funicular structure" again, I will probably scream.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Bravo on this book. Abram, and Mona...two crazy mixed up people. Mona is way more comfortable with science than she is with people that is for sure, so when she crosses paths with Abram again, sparks fly. This is a great continuation after Penny left us hanging with the first book Motion. The chemistry is still ripe between these two, and I could not put this book down.

"My emotions were banging at the door with a battering ram. Let us in! We want to hurt you!"
Mona, I have never understood you more.
Penny Reid, you've got me feeling eeeemmmotionnnns *whistle note*
This book had me all over the place. I was crying laughing one second, and then crying CRYing the next and my emotions were hanging on by a thread. Penny always astounds me with her ability to make you care about her characters just like THAT. She just continues to prove why she is one of my favourite authors of all time. So until the next book is released, I'll just be in the corner, trying to cope ahahahahaha

Two years have passed and Mona cannot get over Abram. He has figured out that the twins switched places but thinks it was some mean game they were playing.
They find themselves in the same place and the truth finally tumbles out. Can they figure out how to do this when everyone keeps interfering?
I really wanted to throat punch Leo in this book. He is cruel to Mona because he does not understand her.
Now on to the final book.

This book picks up exactly at the point book ends.
It starts with Abrams POV then jumps in time several times til it settles, two and a half years later when Abram and Mona meet again.
It then continues with dual POV.
There are a plethora of secondary characters, with potential for lots of future books in series or spin off series.
Martin and Caitlyn show up from the previous trilogy.
It is a painful, angsty start when they first meet each other again.
No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine.
No intimate scenes at all.
No other woman or man drama, that said, there are references to Abram and other women during their separation(no details) though Mona had been too busy with life even though she'd had the option of Poe.
It ends still on a cliffhanger, in the sense that some things are resolved but they still have a lot to sort out so the reader is desperate for the next book.
I preferred this to book 1.
During the separation. Just to clarify my perception of his manwhore or not status.
*Warning possible spoilers ahead*
In the previous trilogy, there was a scene where the heroine of that trilogy, Caitlyn noted that Abram left with 1 or 2 women each weekend or gig.
In book 1 it is made clear that Abram would not date fans and was not a player.
After Mona left, he apparently went off the rails, was drinking, got arrested and there were women so it appears Caitlyn's perception of him is correct.
At a certain point he changes his ways so he is able to say to Mona that he hasn't been with anyone for a year.
Martin had made a comment to Mona that Abram was incapable of settling down, the musician lifestyle, but this is not true of the present day Abram.
