Laws of Physics: Space by Penny Reid
5.0
UPDATED TO ADD FULL REVIEW
After that book aftermath (this book made me happy and I am not ashamed to admit it), I can share a more proper overall impression.
It’s difficult to put in words how much I loved this story. We have here the continuation of the character’s journey started in Motion (if you haven’t read Motion, you should go right this minute… stop reading, just GO). Some time has passed, and Mona and Abram face each other again with a lot (let me repeat that: A LOT) of unresolved feelings for each other, plus a few lies and misunderstandings added to the mix. The beauty of this story evolution is precisely to see how these two human beings (leave me alone, they are NOT fictional in my mind, and I want to be their best friend) approach what they want and need in the face of circumstances and expectations.
Without giving too much away, I will say my favorite parts are the friendships, the shared moments between a relatively large group of people snowed in inside a house in Aspen, the poetry and the character development. There are also a few little surprises for people that have read other books by this author.
Above all, Penny Reid conquered me again with her writing style. I started reading “a few chapters” at 1am and never stopped until I finished this book (well, yes, I will admit snacks were needed). The story grabbed me and didn’t let me go. I could connect with practically every single character, independently of our differences. I would cry, laugh and be happy with them. A journey that was worth every minute.
**I voluntary read an early copy of this book
