Buttercup's Book Blog: Blog Tour: Motion by Penny Reid

Motion by Penny Reid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided an advanced copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this. It is fast paced, funny, and while it ends on a cliffhanger I don't feel like it was incomplete. I can't get the next book fast enough. I love that we get to see some old favorite characters from the Knitting in the City series. I'm also not mad about the cliffhanger because I knew it was coming and because this is a serial series and that comes with the territory.

If you've read Neanderthal Seeks Human, the main character reminds me alot of Janie. Mona is brilliant and a bit socially awkward. Her parents are famous, and her upbringing wasn't exactly conventional. Mona loves science and physics, and she likes things in her life to be predictable or controlled. She doesn't like surprises. Her twin, Lisa is the exact opposite. Lisa is an unpredictable, socialite who is always causing some sort of trouble. When Lisa gets into some real trouble, Mona has to step in and help her sister out. Mona agrees to be Lisa until Lisa can get home.

Enter Abram, Mona's polar opposite. Abram has agreed to babysit Lisa until an adult can supervise her actions and keep her out of trouble. He is a friend of Lisa and Mona's brother. He is a musician, he's carefree, and kind of lacks direction; all the things Mona is not. He sparks emotions in Mona that she isn't interested in but can't deny, especially because Abram doesn't know her true identity. They have such amazing chemistry and their banter was excellent. I love that while they are frustrated with each other, Abram is patient with her and willing to wait and doesn't push. Mona (acting as Lisa) begins to open up

Can we also talk about how amazing it is the Penny actually discusses some tough topics in this book? Aside from the great romance and characters, she tackles the issue of consent both from the male perspective and the female perspective. This is so often glossed over in books and in conversation in general. I'm hoping we get into more of this in the next 2 installments because it is important.
