All she wants is forgiveness, and all he wants is revenge . . .From the New York Times Bestselling Author Penny ReidOne week. Private cabin. Famous physicist. Still an unrepentant slacker (but now also very, very angry). What’s the worst that could happen? Mona’s meticulously planned allotment of relaxation is thrown into chaos by the unscheduled appearance of her older brother’s band of friends, … unscheduled appearance of her older brother’s band of friends, including the one person she’d hoped to never face again.

Wonderful, complex characters, heartbreaking cliffhanger
Book 2 in the Laws of Physics series, this is NOT a standalone. Read Motion first, and plan on reading Time (releasing April 15 2019) after. There’s also a crossover with the Elements of Chemistry series; while you don’t need to have read Kaitlyn’s story to enjoy this, having that background does add to the enjoyment here.
Where the end of Motion left me screaming from suspense, the end of Space left me ugly crying with emotion. Gah! So much emotion in this story from both Abram and Mona, and the author made sure my heart was breaking for both of them. There were laughs, too, of course, and I loved the complexity of these characters.
As usual with this author, there were plenty of great secondary characters as well, and I loved that we got a chance to spend more time with Kaitlyn. I also enjoyed getting to know Mona’s brother, Leo, better but sister Lisa…well, while I do have some empathy for her and she may be trying to be better, as far as I’m concerned, she’s still trying in the other sense of the word, lol.
Wonderful characters with all the feels and a heartbreaking cliffhanger, I’ll just be over here rocking myself and crying in the corner while I wait for the final book. 5+ stars

Space follows events that happened in Motion, therefore its imperative that your heart be broken first and continually be broken until the author graces us with the last book in the Laws of Physics Trilogy.
In Motion aka The FALLING readers were introduced to Mona and Abram. Circumstances of their first meeting were very much less than ideal, with Mona impersonating her twin sister while Abram was supposed to be babysitting said sister. Despite the pretense, the week that they spent was enough for feelings to blossom. But because BIG LIE was the great white elephant in the room, Motion ended with lots of agonized screams and tears mainly for this reader.
Space, aka THE VOID, opens two and half years later. Mona appears to have moved on. Still brilliant and aloof but with friends, one of which seems to be displaying more than friendly vibes. But, despite the time that has passed, she’s still so very much in love with Abram. A week in Aspen to think about things was in her schedule, she’ll move one after, she constantly assures herself. But suddenly Abram is there and the feelings starts rushing back.
Now Abram hasn’t move on as well, he’s been on a downward spiral when Mona aka Lisa disappeared. He’s had suspicions that the sisters did a switcheroo but it was only after a year that his suspicions were confirmed. He’s become a bitter, sarcastic and successful musician with an upcoming world tour because of it( the angst certainty towards success!) Then his Lisa/Mona was before him again. Now, these two are spending a week together, will they resolve things, will hate and resentment color their goodbyes or will they trust each other that what’s between them is real and can last? And yes reading Space is so worthwhile despite the fact you might not like how it ends because this particular author writes cliffhangers in a way that will make you crave the next one and not hating her for making you go through this, because the journey of Mona and Abram is so, so beautiful.
*And if you’ve read her previous Hypothesis trilogy, Laws of Chemistry, a beloved couple makes surprise cameo*
…and that’s when I knew, my whole book life from this point forward, I would be a fool for Penny Reid.
As the prophecy foretold.
After the way that the first book ended, I found myself really nervous about the direction that this book would take. I had so many questions and absolutely no idea what kind of answers I would get when I picked this up. I wish that I could tell you that Penny is gentle and that you won’t walk away from part two a little bit broken, but I can’t because she will, and you will. But if you are a Penny Reid fan and familiar with her form of storytelling, you know that it will be the best kind of broken because you’ll have faith that she’s going to put you back together and you’ll be even better than you were before.
With each new installment of this series, we get to know both Mona and Abram on a deeper level and, although each book spans just a few days, it’s very easy to feel invested and connected to their story. I felt a lot more emotional while reading this book than I did the first. Mixed in with all of the love you could feel between Abram and Mona there was also pain, anger, guilt, and fear. Reading along as they tried to work through all of these things was a bit gut-wrenching but absolutely necessary.
The appearance of Kaitlyn and Martin from the Elements of Chemistry was a pleasant, if not a little expected, surprise. Except when Martin decided to show that he hasn’t completely changed his asshole ways.
Just as everything seemed to be coming together and I could finally see the light, Penny and to go ahead and drop some reality on us.
And then the wolves came…
*I received an ARC from the author for voluntary review
Be still my beating heart.
Penny Reid has done it again.
Space starts off 2 years after Motion ends. This book begins with Mona going to her parents cabin. Her brother along with his friends are staying at the cabin, and Mona will be staying with them.
Along with Abram.
It’s been two years since she’s seen him, and Mona has never recovered from their last meeting. She regrets hurting him, lying to him, and she especially regrets not telling him how she really felt.
This Abram she meets is a new Abram. He’s wary, distant, and wants nothing to do with her. But Mona feels she owes it to him to come clean. The two years that have passed have taught her one thing: she still has feelings for him, and their not going away any time soon.
I freaking loved this book. Like truly, truly loved it. I enjoyed how much Mona and Lisa’s relationship had changed. Lisa was not a bad person, and this book made me realize that.
We got a cameo from Martin and Katy, which was one of my most favorite parts of the book. You have to read this for that scene alone. They haven’t changed a bit.
Motion was angsty goodness, and I didn’t mind the cliffhanger it ended with. It is necessary and I can’t wait to see what Penny has in store for us in the next book.
I’m so glad Penny Reid writes and releases at a ridiculous pace. I’m not sure I could have waited much longer. Remember Motion? And how I was so afraid of the cliffhanger?
Well, it was a painful start. The prologue of Space directly connects with the ending of Motion. We finally get Abram’s point of view and his perception of the events from Motion. And then the time jumps ahead…to over two years in the future. (side note: think of all that lost time!)
Mona and her best friend are planning on spending a week at her parent’s cabin in Aspen to relax. It’s become the one place she can feel peace. Unfortunately for Mona, her brother and his friends have decided to crash her peace party. One of the party goers is none other than Abram, who has realized exactly who he spent that week with those years ago. Dude is righteously angry.
Forced to spend time together due to the snow storm, Mona and Abram finally have time to talk and discover who they really are.
Painful, heart wrenching, addicting; all phrases I would use for this series. Space ends on another mini-cliffhanger, but you are left with so much hope and happiness. Can’t wait to read Mona and Abram’s conclusion!
4.5 stars–SPACE is the second instalment in Penny Reid’s contemporary, new adult LAWS OF PHYSICS romance trilogy focusing on twenty-one year old physics genius Mona Tang DaVinci, and twenty-five year old musician Abram Harris Fletcher. LAWS OF PHYSICS is the second trilogy in the author’s HYPOTHESIS series but can be read as a stand alone series without any difficulty. Abram was first introduced in the Elements of Chemistry series (a subset of the Hypothesis series).
NOTE: SPACE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one MOTION. If you have not read MOTION, there may be some spoilers in my review.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Mona and Abram) SPACE continues to focus on the relationship between on twenty-one year old physics genius Mona Tang DaVinci, and twenty-five year old musician Abram Harris Fletcher. Two and a half years earlier Mona Tang Da Vinci pretended to be her twin sister in an effort to protect Lisa from the fall-out of a recent arrest for drugs, an arrest that pushed Mona into the orbit of Lisa’s guardian Abram Harris. With Lisa’s return, Mona knew she had to exit quickly but exiting meant leaving the man with whom she had fallen in love. Fast forward to present day wherein Abram, now a rock star going by Abram Fletcher struggles between fury and love for a woman who destroyed everything good in his life. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship and attraction between Abram and Mona, and the potential fall-out as there time together comes to a close.
SPACE is a story of betrayal and forgiveness; of secrets and conflict. The palpable sexual attraction and chemistry between our leading couple is tempered by regret and resentment, guilt and resolve. An addicting series, a wonderful tale, a lesson learned SPACE follows a brilliant but awkward young genius as she must come to terms with the potential loss of the only man she has ever loved; and of a heart broken and angry musician whose muse pushed him away as though nothing had happened.
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.
I’m not used to pensive Abram. I’m used to salty, sarcastic Abram. What’s going on? Is your manbun too tight?
Fine. Now you know the truth. Leo is a cutie pie and I just want to wrap him up in rice paper and eat him up like an egg roll.
Don’t you roll your eyes at me. You write poetry for barnacle’s sake. You can’t tell me you’re not tender. You’re like veal, or foie gras, but without the sketchy ethics issues.
Mean smiles, no jokes, broody eyebrows. You’re like an arthouse movie but without the nudity.
My Review:
I inhaled this book and didn’t fully exhale until reaching the last cleverly written word. I didn’t plan to greedily read all the highly coveted words in one sitting, but had no choice really, as after I started I was sucked into an oddly intense yet extremely pleasant vortex and was compelled to keep going well past my bedtime. It was a bit of a frenzy but I moved through each and every scene while beside either Mona or Abram the entire time; fully engaged from start to finish. I actively sighed, smirked, snorted, cringed, held my breath, and swore aloud while they dithered and debated. Be warned – you will experience all the feels in this deviously paced and ingeniously plotted tale. I was mesmerized, bewitched, besotted, and transfixed. While I had eventually grown to love Martin while reading the Hypothesis series, I felt like throat punching him during his brief drop-in visit near the end of this installment. The extraordinarily crafty and deft wordsmith known as Penny Reid obviously possesses a magical sparkle filled pen that has been blessed by the fairies.
Ahhhhh, be still my heart. If you ever want to test your patience, these are the books that will help you do exactly that. After reading Motion, I knew to expect the same kind of tone with Space. But I sure did love this one so much more than Motion because we definitely get somewhere with Mona and Abram. AND I just fell head over heels in love with Abram. Space is the book for them to work everything out, but time isn’t exactly on their side.
Mona and Abram’s story is addicting and I simply can’t get enough of it. It actually makes me weep a little when I’ve reached the end of part 1 and 2. I love a little angst here and there, you know the kind that you can feel, and Penny sure brings it in Space.
After reading blurb, I was a bit too eager to start this one. I had no idea how things were going to go down between them. There was a bit of a time jump that I wasn’t expecting, but didn’t mind. Mona and Abram are both at different points in their lives and like I’ve mentioned before, time is not something they have enough of.
ABRAM, this book made me love him so much more. Of course, I got a bit infuriated with him because he couldn’t get past his anger and just listen when it came to Mona. He definitely doesn’t hold back one bit. But with all that anger towards her, all the deep feelings he holds for her haven’t gone away. If anything, he’s completely and madly in love with her. And he just simply needs her. But he needs all of her truths, all her honesty, which is something that’s hard for her to do.
Mona … she probably wouldn’t like it or understand it, but I just want to hug and hold her. How she was/is treated is brought to everyone’s attention and your heart will absolutely break for her. We see why she essentially keeps people an arm length away. She hasn’t been shown love, not even from her family. And her brother is on my sh*t list for the time being … he’s so damn selfish and it had yelling out, “how can you think that about your OWN SISTER?!”. Her family doesn’t deserve her and I truly hope they can change my mind on that.
When it comes to Abram and her deep love for the man, I hope he doesn’t hurt her trust. It’s evident that she doesn’t give it freely. Nerves and anxiety is what I’m feeling for the last installment, it won’t be an easy journey ahead, but I’m hoping they can weather through it all.
major thank you to social butterfly pr and the author for the complimentary copy in consideration for a review. this does not affect my opinion of the book or review.
Penny Reid
Space is the second book in the Laws of Physics series and this one is an absolute angst-fest!!
After the fairly evil cliffhanger ending of Motion, book one, I was thrilled that Mona and Abram found themselves forced to be in the same place again after a 2 year separation.
“I need someone to listen to my heart.” His face inched closer. “And it only wants to beat for you.”
Mona is trying to be as honest as possible to Abram and herself but honesty can be so painful. There is so much feeling and emotion between these characters that I just felt my own heart aching for them. I was prepared for a cliffy ending but that didn’t make it any easier to find myself on the last page and wanting so much more. Now I NEED Time!!
-4.5 Stars!-
With a sense of longing, Mona has gone through time with the monotony of her day to day tasks. Each day leaves her head full of ‘what ifs’ where Abram was concerned. Every single time Mona hears about Abram, she wonders where is could be in that moment, and what is guiding him through his days in the music industry. However – Mona knows not to actively seek out information about the one person who haunts her every thought.
Determined to not allow her life to be dictated by her desire for Abram, Mona heads to the mountains with her best friend Allyn. Aspen has always been like a second home to Mona; a place to seek solitude when it is needed the most. Nothing could have prepared Mona for the arrival of her brother and his multitude of friends. An unexpected event, but things become even more shocking when Abram walks into the house.
Time hasn’t dulled the sense of anger that Abram felt for Mona’s betrayal. Every day since they have been apart, Abram has wondered what the sisters plans were for deceiving him so blatantly. Determined to not allow Mona to escape this vacation without knowing his wrath, Abram can’t help but feel the twinges of his attraction weaving into the present. How can these two tortured souls uncover all that is standing between them?
Conflict and attraction sprinkle the pages of Space by Penny Reid. The latest addition to the Laws of Physics is full of longing and uncertainty. Mona and Abram have gone their separate ways, but both clearly have unresolved feelings for the other. Their time apart has done little to quell the feelings from their time together, and getting snowed in together in Aspen is about to bring all the pain front and center.
Reid has penned another amazing story that revolves around Abram and Mona. Together the two bring an intensity that leaves you desperate for a resolution. Nothing will be easy on the road to redemption for Mona, and having Abram so close will bring those confined feelings back to the present. Everything about this couple is appealing to me!! I love the heat, the quirkiness, and attraction that Mona and Abram share. Their journey will pull you in from the very first chapter. Where it leads…..well….that remains to be seen!! Make sure you add Space to your reader….you can than me later!!
Law of Physics Book 2: Space by Penny Reid
This second installment of Mona and Abram’s story pics up right where we left of in Motion, then fast-forwards two and a half years to present day. By this point Abram has worked out Mona was pretending to be her sister and Mona has worked out that she’s never stopped loving Abram. Sigh. To say that Abram is furious with Mona is like calling the Pope just a teensy bit catholic but they manage to work those pesky details out.
I feel that we got to know soooo much more of Abram in Space and I was thrilled about that. Even though he was so angry at being lied to, he couldn’t switch off his feelings and desire for Mona. And Mona… I don’t know. She makes my heart ache and I just want to smother her with hugs. Her family and their selfishness frustrated me to no end and I really felt for her but at the same time I wanted to shake her and tell her not to judge Abram by everyone else’s standards. I can’t wait to see how their story concludes.
*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

5 Stars!
Mona DaVinci is a brilliant, genius physicist known as one of the greatest minds of her generation. She lives in Southern California where she spends most of her time working and doing research. In need of some rest and relaxation she heads to her families cabin in Aspen. It’s her favorite spot to unwind when she could use a break from her hectic life. All her perfect plans are ruined when she arrives in Aspen to find the solace she was looking forward to isn’t going to happen. Her older brother Leo is there, and has brought some friends. This includes the one guy she hasn’t been able to quit thinking about in over two years. She was constantly assaulted by memories of Abram, and the ache in her chest intensified every time she thought of the week they’d spent together.
Abram is snowed in on a mountain with the woman he’s tried to forget about. He spent six days with her, and then she disappeared. He wonders if the woman he fell for even exists. He can’t think straight when she’s near, and he hates she still has this power over him. Her deception and lies made him feel foolish and want revenge. He shouldn’t want her anymore, and is confused by his feelings. He just has to find a way to co-exist with her until he leaves.
Mona initially plans to avoid Abram, but then decides to woman up, and face him. She couldn’t believe how strongly she still felt for him after all this time. Even though she secretly longed for him, a future for them was impossible. Their timing was never right, and he lived in a world removed from hers. He now had everything he’d ever wanted. He was a successful musician about to go on tour with his band. This week would come to an end, and they would go their separate ways. At least she could give him some overdue honesty, and maybe hope for some forgiveness in return. Things between them turn complicated and heated, and soon they both find themselves wanting more of the one thing they don’t have…time.
Space is book two in the Laws of Physics series, and Laws of Physics is the second trilogy in the Hypothesis series. I am completely OBSESSED with Abram and this series!!! I finish each book and am dying for the next one. I love Penny’s writing, and this series is by far one of my favorites. I really adore both of these characters. Abram is sexy, but has so much substance. He is just as beautiful inside as he is on the outside. Mona is just freaking hilarious, but I also like she’s her own person, and doesn’t conform for others. She’s pretty awesome. This series is extremely entertaining and addictive! I can’t wait for the next book!
***5 ‘Do Not Burn’ Stars***
This one is filled with so much goodness that I’m actually chill with the way that it ended.
I know. Strange, right?
It’s a cliffy, but I’m not freaking out. Well, I’m doing the ‘I’m mad at it’ freaking out, it’s more of a feeling of contentment mixed with anticipation of what is coming up next because I’m crossing my toes that it’ll be all kinds of greatness kind of freaking out.
As for the beginning of the book and everything in between, I thoroughly enjoyed it. There were a few things that happened that I hadn’t expected, but it just made it all that much more fun to watch as things played out between Abram and Mona. There were those heart racing moments, heartbreaking moments, and a few where I wanted to reach out and Gibbs smack a person or two, but it was really a fun ride and I loved getting to know Abram and Mona more. They are so complex in some ways and simple in others and I want more.
Doing any sort of review for a duet or trilogy is a bit of a wonky process since things are not complete yet and more change/evolution is coming and I want to keep all my options open, so this is a vague review and, if you’ve made it this far, I hope you don’t take my “contented” freaking out to me things ended in a certain way, because all it means is that I’m good with how things ended…for now.
But I really did like how everything thing played out in this one, a lot happens and as the “middle” book it really did give closure on somethings while making me all kinds of excited for all the possible goodness that is (hopefully) come for us in Time.
So, time to #practicepatience!

In the Motion edition of I LOVE EVERYTHING PENNY REID WRITES I was dying at the end–Motion killed me dead and every time I thought about Space I got super excited to see what would happen next. So when Space hit my Kindle I used every extra minute of my day to read and only put it down when I absolutely had to, only to pick it up as soon as I could. Rather than savor it and prolong my enjoyment I greedily devoured it and am now eagerly anticipating what will happen with Abram and Mona next.
Abram and Mona were put through an emotional wringer in Space (as wasI!) and while lots of things were smoothed over, forgiven, and explained, I have a feeling that Penny Reid has plans for them that involve more emotional distress for us all before it’s all said and done. It’s okay. I’m here for it—all of it—because it’s just so dang good. All the characters are interesting and fun to imagine and read. I’m excited to see what other plot points will be wrapped up and if any new ones will emerge. And I know ..can predict ..that when I finish the last book I will be incredibly sad that the series is over and also looking forward to the very next thing she publishes. Until then, I have a month to ponder what will happen next and be excited about the torture/smart writing/swoons and fun romance the final book may inflict.
Reading Space by Penny Reid was an out of the body experience. Period. I was not myself.I was in Abram and Mona’s heart and body. I felt each and every feeling physically inside. Each tear, each kiss, each word. Penny Reid has destroyed me emotionally and I still want more. So much more.
Penny Reid left me with a very difficult ending in Motion. Now we are revisiting Abram and Mona after 2 and half years. None of them has recovered from the one week experience. And they have changed from it. The truth is they are still in love. Abram knows the secret now. He is angry, bitter and outright hostile towards Mona. She is drowning in guilt and regret. And a chance encounter in McMansion of Mona’s parents’ house in Alps turn everything upside down. Forced to spend a week in the snowy isolation, they have to face their demons. Can they move on? The answer is in this beautifully tragic and heart-wrenching story.
I don’t think I have ever identified with any fictional character so much. God I want to hug and slap Abram at the same time. He is now a successful popular musician and all his songs are written about Mona. He is raw, vulnerable, intense, protective, unpredictable and too many delicious things. The new found hard edge mixed with his softness and makes him even more attractive. And I want to marry Mona or something like that. A scientific genius but so lonely, desolate and desperate for some unconditional love. Why did they have to suffer like this? I felt like Penny Reid has plunged a serrated knife deep inside my heart and twisted it slowly over and over again. And it hurts so good.
I have no words to describe the feelings while reading Space by Penny Reid. You have to experience it yourself. The story is angsty, emotional and intense. The writing is brilliant and mindblowing. This is perfection. Another top 2019 read from Penny Reid.
RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW.
“It’s like how chocolate, the really good kind, MELTS in your mouth.”
That’s pretty much how i felt reading SPACE. That was so good, so sweet, so delectable i wanted to read it slowly, to savour it. But finally it was so good, so sweet, so delectable i totally melted and couldn’t stop reading, devouring it. I read it in one sitting and i am not ashamed.
Abram’s POETIC and moving words made me melt. The way he understands Mona, his urge to protect her, his obsession for her, every touch… My heart melted and i fell in love with him a second time.
Abram and Mona spent only 6 days together 2 years ago… Those 6 days changed their lives, shook their worlds. They fell in love, IRREVOCABLY, wholy. 6 days, that’s not much… but “Love don’t have to make sense.” Since those 6 days, 2 years ago, they are obsessed with each other. Their love is sooooo strong and deep and powerful and pure and passionate… My heart melted !!!
But this book is not just about love. It’s also about anger (the tension between us OMG), trust, lies, truth, forgiveness, fears, guilt, loneliness… “We’re still here, with the past between us…” This second book is less funny and more EMOTIONAL, heartbreaking and heartwarming. Those 2 years they both suffered a lot. Mona bore her guilt with her non-stop. Abram was crazy with doubts and questions… My heart melted for them !!!
I had pretty much the answers to every question i had finishing MOTION. Thanks to the dual POV we learn more about Abram’s life, his work, his friends (one specifically is funny and lovely and smart)… how he lived during those 2 years. We also learn what happened to Lisa, how Mona survived the breakup, we meet Leo their brother…
I have this feeling that with TIME we’ll discover more layers of Mona’s personality. For everyone she’s detached and cold but not with Abram. He makes her FEEL. Different strong feelings she doesn’t know what to do with. Thanks to Abram she starts to embrace honesty and opens up to others. That’s how powerful their love is. “Usually concealing my thoughts was my superpower, but Abram was my kryptonite.” For most of people she appears like a robot but thanks to her pov we know she’s vulnerable and lonely and deeply hurt. I love how Abram is able to understand her just by observing her. He’s not a physics genius but he’s sensitive and smart. My heart melted !!!
The cliffangher is less brutal than in MOTION but still… I can’t wait for TIME and the HEA that Mona and Abram deserve!
You will need to have read book one, Motion before diving in to book 2.
With the way the first book ended, and with Abram’s insistence that he hates liars, I was expecting an argument of big bang proportions when I started reading Space.
However I did not get this. I got lots of passive aggressive comments, stares across the room and so much quiet between the two, I didn’t know if they would ever talk to each other.
You could feel their emotions coming off the pages, the love, the hate, the confusion. The just weren’t showing them to each other.
My heart hurt for Mona, as she doesn’t let her emotions show much, and I hated the way people talked about her being emotionless. I felt the emotion for her, and wanted to slap some sense into people
I did like Mona’s relationship with Lisa better, though I have to say I didn’t think I could dislike her brother Leo any more than I did before – but nope, I was wrong. He was a complete and utter d!ck in this installment. I wanted to clip him over the head with my kindle!
I did like where the story has taken us at the end of Space, and look forward to the finale in Time.
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 now I can not wait for Time to see these two get their HEA!
