Motion Law of Physics #1 Hypothesis Series Penny Reid 9781635763393 Books

If you follow Penny Reid’s social media, you know she often post self deprecating warnings about her new releases. For this books warnings included:

1. It’s strange!
2. It’s a slooooooow burn
3. The cliffhanger is huge
4. It’s strange!

I’m happy to say it is all true. The strange twice is intentional because it is strange.

1. What makes it strange is these characters will not be pigeonholed. They will not be defined by a single label or attribute. Some of their attributes are completely contrary to some of their other attributes, you know, like real people. It’s strange because Penny Reid trusts her readers to understand that her characters are more than the typecast the might seem at first. And that, dear reader, is a delight.

2. It is slow and it burns in many ways. This is in no way a criticism or to say it is boring. Quite the opposite. It is slow because less than a week passes from the beginning to the end of the book and the two of them are stuck together with not a lot to do. However, all those daily, mundane activities (picking up a guitar, birthday dinner with the family, afternoon at the bookstore) provide them with the opportunity to discover and connect with someone they never expected. It burns because it takes no more than a day or so to see that there is a hydrogen bomb’s worth of chemistry between Mona and Abram but there is a lie between them that prevents them from acting on that magnetic pull.

3. The cliffhanger was inevitable, as this is the first in a 3-part trilogy that are releasing a month apart in February, March, and April 2019. I knew it was coming and read the last 25% of the book anxious and expectant for where this episode might end. I was not disappointed. It was brutal but it also is a very natural place for this story to conclude.

4. It is strange because this story is told from solely Mona’s 1st person perspective and she has a lot of scrumptious strange going on in her head. Some of it is hilarious, some sad, some erudite, some foolish, some passionate, and some loyal. Mona is a complex woman who has a very unique background. On the surface, there are many aspects of her character that are not relatable (extremely affluent parents, math/physics prodigy, college graduate at 18 years old) and yet she is still incredibly relatable and it is simply sublime to spend time in her brain.

Layered like the best bean dip-guacamole-salsa combo you can imagine, this story is making me crave extra strong tortilla chips to dig deep to get to all the best parts mixed together, because it is all the best parts.

Space is next in the line up and it is making me wish Mona would figure out time travel to the future so I could devour it now.

An early copy of this book was provided in exchange for an honest review. But, let’s be clear, I already have it preordered in both print and kindle editions.

Motion Law of Physics #1 Hypothesis Series Penny Reid 9781635763393 Books Reviews

So, the problem with loving Penny Reid so much but also not being one who reads excerpts or teasers ahead of time is that I NEVER read the blurb for this book either.

She warned us about the cliffhanger. Cool, I can handle a cliffhanger if I know it’s coming, plus I trust her to do it right.

We’ve all been waiting for YEARS to get Abram’s story. Yay it’s finally here, I can’t wait to see how he gets his HEA.

I DIDN’T READ THE BLURB!!

I didn’t know what I was getting myself into!!! I’m honestly not sure if I would have gone into this story with such enthusiasm had I paid more attention but I’m so HAPPY that I was oblivious. My heart is beating so fast right now because I need to know how this plays out. I have so many theories and SO MANY fears.

As expected, I’m fully in love with Abram, despite not seeing things from his POV, but my heart is also breaking for him because he doesn’t know what’s coming. Or does he?

Mona is the exact type of smart and awkward heroine that I’ve come to love from Penny. Sometimes she makes me squirm but mostly I can’t help but love her. My heart breaks for her and the situation she’s been put in and how this might all play out for her in the future.

I’m so scared.

I’m so incredibly excited, no...I’m impatient. How will I survive the wait for more? Especially knowing that there is another cliffhanger coming.

When all is said and done, it feels like not a lot happened in this book but also like SO much happened. This felt like more of just an introduction to Mona and Abram, setting the stage for what is sure to become a crazy, angsty love story. 

Penny is a brilliant, evil, evil woman!
This starts with a great premise, then goes into an angsty, do-nothing downward spiral. This is an unfinished story, with many pages of tiresome internal dialogue. It is the first of 3 installments. Apparently, you will have to buy all 3 at 4.99 apiece if you want to read the ending.
I really like Penny Reid's writing style- her sense of humor is so fun, she creates wonderful romantic tension between characters, and she writes characters that are likable (if not always relatable). Motion offers all those aforementioned elements I enjoy in a Penny Reid book, but it also didn't have enough of some other things that her best books have offered. Did it seem like we really didn't know much about Abram? The reviews/book blurbs tell us he is a "slacker" but I didn't get that sense from reading the book. We have what his family told us about him, what Gabby said about him, and a few scenes of him interacting with Mona, and all of that didn't add up to enough character exposition for me. I needed a little more. And I think that could be what's lacking for me in Motion overall- it needed more, just across the board. More editing of the internal dialogue and internal explanations to make way for more of the story to be included and more interactions between the characters. I kind of suspect that all three books could have been edited concisely into one really terrific book. We'll all still buy the three, because Penny Reid is so entertaining and these really are engaging characters in an interesting premise, but as a stand alone book this one fell just a little short for me. I predict you'll have a good time reading Motion and ultimately that's what it's all about.
