Laws of Physics: Motion by Penny Reid
1.0
I love the work of Penny Reid, by and large, but I did not love this one in the least, nor did I enjoy it. I've never in my life rated any of her books this low but there was just too much here that didn't work for me or connect with me.
Let's start with premeditated deception/dishonesty powered by familial entitlement & emotional blackmail (yuck). I hate how the deception lasted the entire book and every time he thought he was saying her name, or having a positive interaction, he thought it was her sister's. I also hated her sister and Gabby both; catty, selfish, wildly irresponsible and don't forget mean-spirited.
I hate the trope of mcs being forced/coerced into doing unnecessary, unethical and unsavory things for family in the name of LoVe.
I regret that I was outside my return window; I think this is a sign I need to get my ass on Kindle Unlimited. Quickly. I felt obligated to skim the entire thing because I paid for it outright. In my defense, I've never disliked a PR book this much and I bought this grouped in with the previous books of the series because I mostly enjoyed them. Won't be proceeding to the next one, unfortunately.
