Laws of Physics: Motion by Penny Reid
2.0
2 ambergris stars.
I’m in a minority here with this review. I was really looking forward to reading this book, I love [a:Penny Reid|5997227|Penny Reid|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1548811001p2/5997227.jpg] and there were many high reviews. I just found this book sooo boring. It could be because I’m coming off a BDB high, but I’m not sure that’s it. Motion skirts the line of being a YA book even though it really is a NA.
Mona, our heroine, is a 19-year old brilliant college student. She’s so brilliant that she went to college when she was 15. At times she acts like she’s still 15, or even younger. Her naiveté irked me. For someone who has famous parents, a life of luxury and exposure to college as such a young age, she knows little of the 'real' world.
Mona is forced to help out her twin sister, Lisa, and stand in her place and keep her real identity secret from Abram. I did not like Lisa’s best friend (and Mona’s ex-best friend), Gabby. She was shallow, judgmental, “immature and superfluous”.
Because of the 1st person POV we know little to nothing about Abram except how Mona feels about him. I did like his family, and the short time we spent with them.
I found myself skimming most of the book; looking for something, I’m not sure what, but anything really. There was no real chemistry between the MCs. The storyline was dull. I realize that this is a trilogy and this ends on a mild cliffhanger, but there was really nothing of substance that makes me want to continue in this series.
Sorry.
