Yes it is! I'm currently rereading the Elements of chemistry trio and just realized we know who Abram is! And now I'm even more excited!

4 stars!
I love Penny Reid’s brand of romance. She always writes unique, funny, and smart books. Her characters are endearing and the stories keep me enthralled every single time. Motion was no exception.
I haven’t read a book with a good twin swap in the longest time. Mona’s twin sister Lisa is in trouble and Mona is sent to save the day. The only problem is, these two twins may be identical in looks, but they couldn’t be more different if they tried in every other way. Still, Mona is pretendin ...more

I was the worst kind of hypocrite, acting like I had all this moral authority. Meanwhile, I was a lying liar of lies, sitting on a throne of lies, eating lie soup and liar cake.
MOTION, the latest release by Penny Reid is filled with her signature humor and oddball quirky characters. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments throughout the story and while the steam level is lukewarm, the story is what will hold readers’ interest.

I get the biggest kick out of Penny Reid's stories. My nerdy heart soaks up every little scientific detail she hides in them. As you can guess by the title, LAWS OF PHYSICS is full with physics puns and jokes and I ate up every single one of them. GEEK. HEAVEN.
Then there are Penny Reid's awesome characters. Mona is everything I expected and so much more. Socially awkward, painfully so, whip smart, highly organized but people puzzle her. She has a set of phrases she uses (which are all hilariou ...more

Title: Motion
Series: Laws of Physics #1
Author: Penny Reid
Release date: February 11, 2019
Cliffhanger: YES
Genre: Contemporary romance
This is the first in the Laws of Physics trilogy, and as you would expect in a three book story arc, you're going to be left hanging in suspense a couple of times. I'm not gonna lie, Penny had me more than a little concerned about this cliffy she was warning us all about on social media. It got to the point where I was dreading the end of the book. (And not just bec ...more
A Penny Reid book is like a bar of my favorite chocolate – certain to never disappoint! I sat down last night to read my arc of Motion, all giddy because I finally had time to curl up with it and a cup of tea. I was expecting to love it but I wasn’t expecting to be so completely addicted to Mona’s narration and the hot, smart, yumminess of Abram, that I ended up devouring the book in one sitting. Mona is one of Penny’s smartest characters yet and she had me laughing out loud at her physics jokes

The build up in this story is just... perfect. I’m SO not a fan of cliffhangers but it makes me sad to think that if I would’ve let that stand in my way, I would’ve missed out on Abram and Mona’s story. The story is told in that distinct Penny Reid voice: intellectual, witty, deep, analytical, and at times even vulnerable.
There are so many facets to the characters and we get to explore them in a way that really enhances the tale. Abram’s got this openness that sucked me right in. He’s not a pus ...more

Why did I do this to myself? That ending has me all kinds of crazy and I need more of this story ASAP! Mona and Abram had me on the edge of my seat this entire book and I was just waiting for their tension to finally explode into heated passion. I so need them to get an HEA and finally learn all of the secrets that were floating around this story.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Okay, so Mona is super focused. She's obsessed with all things physics and relativity and scientificky gobbledygook. Most of it is way over my head, but that's not the point. The point is that this girl is a genius and never really had the chance to be 'normal'. When her twin sister, Lisa, calls her because she got herself in a bit of a pickle, she's a bit resistant. Pretend to be her? They haven't done that since they were kids. Shoot, they barely

Maybe it was because we were warned extensively that this cliffhanger was going to be bad but.. it wasn't that bad? I mean, it was !!! but I think I was also expecting something very different.
That said. I didn't love this. I don't read blurbs (or if I do it's ages before I actually read the book so the details are hazy but in this case I legit had no clue, only that it tied into previous series) so I was unprepared for the direction the plot went.. and while I don't mind the trope, in theory, ...more

Favorite Quotes:
Talking to her was like arguing with a flat-earther. Ignorance plus arrogance is why we can’t have nice things!
Gabby was a nebulous assemblage of unscrupulousness and exasperating nonsense, and we’d likely never be friends again, but she was undoubtedly charming when she wanted to be.

Laws of Physics was a book that I’d been waiting YEARS for. I wanted Abram’s book so bad back when Elements of Chemistry came out and I waited year after year, watched it get pushed back again and again and I just kept holding on, hoping that the wait would be worth it and that it would be everything that I dreamed.
Unfortunately, this first novella was nothing short of a nightmare for me.

You're definitely going to want to read this...
You'll probably yell something unprintable when you get to the end, and maybe throw a thing (not your kindle please, or anything sharp) - but because you will have laughed out loud, and your heart will have pounded a little or maybe a lot while you read this wonderful Penny Reid book, you'll forgive her for a brutal cliffhanger and be very glad you got to hang out for a while with the wonderful characters she creates.

Every time I pick up a Penny Reid book, I know I'm in for a unique story with interesting characters and great banter. This book was everything I expected and more. The banter, the slow-burn romance, the twin swap, the cliffhanger.... Every bit of this book was fantastic! What a great start to this series and I can't wait to see where this story goes!
So there’s Mona and then there’s Lisa and in this book you get a slice of both of them. MOTION quickly launches you into the quirky, intelligent world of Mona. She feels initially one-dimensional and she is definitely somewhat emotional stunted but there’s lots to unwrap with Mona, her quirks, her quips and her insecurities. I like Mona, a lot and I feel like I’ve only just scratched the surface.

Yes. Penny warned us. Multiple times. This book contains a MAJOR cliffhanger. Did I listen? Nope. Did it stop me from reading it? Heck no. Was it intense (the cliffhanger)? UM YES. Do I regret it? NEVERRRR!
Motion pleasantly surprised me. I didn't think I'd like Mona as much as I did. AND I AM NOW CURRENTLY WAITING (IM)PATIENTLY FOR SPACE!
