This book. Penny Reid legit destroyed me with this installment of her Laws of Physics series. I finished a couple of hours ago and I'm still reeling from the emotional impact.
The prologue of SPACE connects directly to the end of MOTION but then jumps forward two and a half years. Since leaving Abram Mona has been going through the motions of living her life, still missing Abram and wondering what could have been. She only finds true peace in the quiet of the mountains in Aspen where her ...more

It's been two years since the end of the last book. Two years since Mona and her twin sister played their little switcheroo. And it's been two years worth of unresolved feelings. Mona is still very much in love with Abram, while Abram is filled with resentment and anger over the game that was played on him.

Could Mona and Abram be any more addictive? Penny balances humor, angst and sexual chemistry perfectly in the second book in the Laws of Physics trilogy. My chest actually ached with the angst (I love that - books that do that to me always make it into my top reads!) as deceptions and truths from book one unravelled. These two are such incredibly loveable characters and I cannot wait for the conclusion to their story. All the stars!!!!!
Favorite Quotes:
Sometimes reality feels like a dream. Something happens, and it makes you question everything you know to be true, everything you take for granted about the world, about yourself. When that happens, your surroundings and interactions become likewise warped, like you’re watching those around you through a magnifying glass, or in high saturation color, and you can’t stop. You can’t make the world normal again, you know too much.

Title: Space
Series: Laws of Physics #2
Author: Penny Reid
Release date: March 11, 2019
Cliffhanger: Yes
Genre: contemporary romance
I stared at her and I was afraid, because I knew. My whole life, from this point forward, I would be a fool for Mona DaVinci.
Ahhh the feels! The delicious feels! This is one of those rare books that I started in the evening, and was so utterly addicted that I could not stop until I finished. Cover to cover in one sitting. No, it's not long in page length, but I flew thr ...more
If space is the final frontier then books are the bestest, especially delightful, endearing, slow burn page-turners for smarties. Penny Reid continues her irresistible Laws of Physics trilogy with “Space.”
Two and a half years after identical twins Mona and Lisa exchanged places and continued with their rightful lives, Mona hasn’t been able to get over her strong feelings towards bad boy musician Abram Harris. Just when she’s decided it’s probably time to move on, she finds herself trapped at he ...more

I definitely liked SPACE more than MOTION. The first half of this simultaneously frustrated me and broke my heart but the last half of the second Laws of Physics was just.. lovely. Wonderful. Sweet. Charming. And also a little bit heartbreaking. I can't imagine where things are going to go next but I'm sure it's going to be all of the same kind of awesome, and maybe some angst, and hopefully a little less of me wanting to slap Leo up the side of his head.

After Motion left me hanging, I could not wait to get my hands on Space! The story picks up over two years later, and my how Abram and Mona have changed.
Space is decidedly less whimsical than the previous book. It makes sense given that both Mona and Abram are nurturing broken hearts, but did Penny Reid have to crush my heart in the process? She’s such a talented devil. I may be sending her my doctor’s bill because the level of stress I experienced can’t be healthy.

Every time I read another Penny Reid book I fall more and more in love with her talent. She has this way of fleshing out characters that are as interesting as much as they are complex. Mona and Abram are that and more. She’s built up this connection both between them and to us separately that absolutely puts me in awe of her talent.

❝Mona.❞
❝Yes?❞ I shivered. The way he said my name, it was the auditory equivalent to being stroked.
❝Will you be brave with me?❞
That ending totally caught me by surprise, I thought there would be more reading, more story, more Abram and Mona ... MORE. I was at 98%, and then, BAM! it ended. I was reading and then turned the page to "ABOUT THE AUTHOR". With MOTION, the ending didn't surprise me, I had sensed it was coming, but with SPACE, I was totally caught off guard.

This one gave me feelings. The writing of the words and the characters...feelings I tell you. There are so many fantastic moments between Mona and Abram that my cold dead heart was hurting for them. And gah the slow burn! Holy cannoli it’s killing me. I’m usually not a fan of slow burn but this one is just the right amount that it hooked me and gave me a plethora of...feelings. I was totally cheering for them in the pool! Oh and that ending, it was soooo good. What a great place to leave off and

In this second part of the “Motion” series, Abram has discovered Mona’s lies. Mona just doesn’t know it. Several years have passed. They are snowed in together at her parent’s place, along with friends. This had some sweet moments near the end. Also, some cameos from the “Chemistry” series! Looking forward to the conclusion.

Penny Reid has done it again! She stole my sanity with the ending of this book and I'm pretty sure I just have no hope of getting it back until Mona and Abram get the conclusion they deserve. I loved getting more of their characters and finally seeing Abram and the real Mona together, not the Mona trying to be her sister. It really did have a change on their dynamic but I enjoyed it and thought that there was some amazing character development with the both of them. ...more

Let me start by saying that I know, I KNOW, that I should NEVER start a Penny Reid book in the late afternoon. I know this since I read all her books. (Not unless I'm at home alone, not having any motherly-wifey-worky commitments.)
But, that is exactly what I did.
I thought I was being such a smarty-pants and convinced myself that I could put the book down after supper. Spend some quality time with my husband, and that I'd "save" the book and finish it tomorrow.

“Wherever fear meets hope, that’s where I was.”
And that is exactly where I am in this epic love story between Abram and Mona: the intersection of fear and hope.

I already knew I had a Penny addiction before starting Laws of Physics, but not all addictions are bad... right?

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.

“Take it like a woman?” I smiled at the way she’d modified the take it like a man turn of phrase. “Yes. I’ll accept responsibility, apologize, be sensitive to your concerns, work to modify my behavior in the future, and suggest we try to find a way forward with minimal awkwardness. You know, take it like a woman.”
