(Law of Physics #2)

Space

Candyce Kirk

After the ending of Motion, I was really curious about how Abram and Mona's story would continue. The first thing I was so happy about was the fact that we got Abram's POV in Space. I missed this in this first book and I loved how his thoughts added to this story!

I didn't really expect the story to continue over two years later. Part of me wishes that it would've continued where it left off, but them not seeing each other for that long and not expecting to see each other definitely made this story really interesting. In all honesty, I could see myself in that house in Aspen. Curling up with a book while reading a book, where can I sign up?!?

I loved that everything wasn't back to normal really fast and that there were definitely some feelings causing some issues. Abram was hurt and had every right to be. He started falling for someone to find out she wasn't who she said she was. I think it was amazing that it inspired him to write music. The lyrics we get to read in this story are really good! I really felt the tension and emotions between Abram and Mona.

Mona was still Mona, even though it's clear she still had feelings she didn't want. She may be very smart, but emotions aren't easy for her. I love how humble she is though. Even though she's rich and grew up that way, she doesn't like people cooking or cleaning up after her. I don't think many people can say that! It's clear Mona starts changing though and slowly letting feelings in, how hard that may be.

Besides Mona and Abram, there is a great group of characters with them. I loved how they all interacted and made Mona and Abram figuring their feelings out even more interesting. I need more Leo though, haha.

What makes this trilogy special is that the romance is definitely slow burn, but the emotions and thoughts seem to play more of a role in this story. It's not like many books that have characters dive into bed together and then figure everything out. That's not a bad thing, but this story is very special. I love how things slowly develop and that we get to see how it plays out.

The only reason I didn't give Space five stars is that I kind of wish we had more moments with Abram and Mona together. A lot was them doing things and thinking about how they felt. That's fine and really interesting, but I wanted more moments of them together. I am excited to see how their story will continue in the next book!

If you're looking for a fun read with characters who are exploring feelings, a group of friends snowed in and see a love story develop right in front of you, Space is the book for you!

Y'all, Penny Reid is killing me with the Laws of Physics series. And I totally mean this as a compliment, just so we're clear. Space was a fantastic installment and I NEED MORE. Like, now.

I've gotta be honest, I'm not entirely sure how to review this without giving too much away, so I'm going to keep things short and vague. I apologize in advance if I give too much away though. Really, if you've not yet started this series, you need to get on that. Yes, the cliffhangers burn a little, but they are totally worth it.

My love for Mona and Abram grew even more during this story. I wasn't really sure what to expect from Space after the way Motion ended, but this book was as unputdownable as I suspected it would be. And as unputdownable as Motion was — and maybe even more so if I'm being honest. This was literally a one-sitting read. I'm shipping Mona and Abram SO HARD. Space made me laugh, swoon and even blush.

But, most of all? It made me want MORE. I love how this story is progressing. I'm a sucker for a slow burn and I honestly don't even mind the cliffhangers in this format — and with this kind of release schedule. I can't wait for the conclusion with Time. Is it mid-April yet?

I received a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Favorite Quotes:

Abram and I, we were two circles in a Venn diagram that would never overlap.

"I want to lick you like an ice cream and eat the fuck out of your cookie cone."

"I'll love her just as long as she treats you like the prince you are and recognizes that your heart requires no tenderizing. It's tender enough."

"I need someone to listen to my heart. And it only wants to beat for you."

What can I say about this book that doesn’t spoil besides that I wholeheartedly and completely loved it? I had so many questions when I got to the end of Motion. I was hoping that Space would provide the answers, and Penny Reid did not let me down. In Space, the truth is finally revealed, and we also get the answers to the mystery that was Abram in Elements of Chemistry.

It has been two and a half years since the fallout that ended book 1. Mona left Abram, Lisa replaced Mona, and both Mona and Abram are left wrecked from their one week together. Both move on with their lives, Mona with her academics and Abram with his music. It’s only when Mona’s brother, who is also Abram’s best friend, unknowingly invites the two of them to a cabin in the mountains with their friends that they come face to face for the first time in years – and Abram is out for revenge. But can he hurt the girl that hurt him like no other – but also the one girl his heart has never been able to let go?

I stared at her, and stared at her, and stared at her. I stared at her and I worked to keep my balance, because the floor and the earth moved beneath my feet. The cavern opened and stretched in front of me. 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.

As soon as I picked this book up, I couldn’t put it down. I loved Space even more than Motion – it was everything I wanted and more in the second installment of the Laws if Physics series. Mona and Abram have never been more real than they are in Space, and despite all that’s between them, this is a couple you know is meant to be together. You can feel the pain and anguish the two of them experience during their time apart, but also the hope and love that never disappeared when they reunite. I love that we get Abram’s POV in Space. I felt so much more connected with his character through his POV, and it doesn’t hurt that his POV just screams of his longing for Mona. Mona is able to be herself in all her awkward glory for the first time in front of Abram, and how can you not fall for her real self, who is caring, intelligent, dorky, and flawed? I am DYING to get my hands on the final book now – I absolutely need to know how Mona and Abram’s story concludes.

“I need someone to listen to my heart.” His face inched closer. “And it only wants to beat for you.”

But now, trapped on a mountain of snow and things unspoken, Mona will have to find a way to coexist with Abram, chaos and all. Laws of Physics parts 1 (MOTION) & 2 (SPACE) end with a cliffhanger.
