Laws of Physics: Motion by Penny Reid
3.0
I want to start off by saying I love this author.
But I didn't really enjoy this book or was captured the way I usually am by a Penny Reid book
I felt the balance of inner monologue and dialogue was skewed in that there was a lot of inner monologue on Mona's part and chunks of paragraph thrown in that I mostly skimmed it. I was in Mona's head for the most part of the book which is usually nice to get into the characters head but I needed some outside interactions to feel for the other main character.
Second, the twin trope, specifically the switching part was hard for me to get into. But that comes down to personal preference. I don't care for those tropes unless it's done really well. Abram was falling for Lisa as Mona whereas as Mona was falling for Abram as Lisa. Maybe because of this, I couldn't feel the angst or chemistry between them. I felt that part of the story dragged on until when things finally picked up at the last page.
Hopefully, the next book will be highly enjoyable.
