Laws of Physics: Motion by Penny Reid
3.0
2.5 ☆ Just not feeling it.
Only recently have I become a Penny Reid fan but her Hypothesis series is hit and miss for me. Alas this was a miss. But most likely also because it was NA. Not my kind of genre.
I really liked Abram and I couldn't wait to get to read his series. He is Marie's brother from Knitting in the City. He is mysterious and all round a good guy and well he doesn't like lies. At all. Cue the plot of a mistaken identity. A lie by omission is still a frigging lie.
Mona is a twin, a smart girl who went to university at the age of fifteen and has her whole life figured out. Her twin Lisa asks her to step into her life because she has been arrested and needs to sort her shit out. So what does Mona do although she hasn't gotten on with her sister in forever she obviously steps in her shoes for a week and lies her arse off. Not cool. Feelings get involved and where she was about to cross the line and I stopped reading because in a way I just found it to be cruel and I didn't want to experience it.
Another annoyance of the book was at the beginning it tells us where in the timeline of the Penny Reid world this takes place and this just was a read killer.
Penny Reid is a fantastic author, she entertains you and can suck you in with her words and her witty banter and facts. So I have no complaints. It is me and not the book.
