Space

Penny Reid (2019)

Résumé : One week.
Private cabin.
Famous physicist.
Still an unrepentant slacker.
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, including the one person she'd hoped to never face again. Abram still makes her feel entirely too much, which is one of the reasons she disappeared after their one week together. 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.


à force de lire, on arrive à discerner des schémas, qui sont parfois clichés, et qui nous font prédire les actions de personnages... on a tous lu au moins un livre qui embrassait tellement un schéma qu'on savait d'avance comment ça allait se terminer. et bien SPACE c'est pas du tout ça :D

***attention il me semble que je vais spoiler des trucs***

MOTION nous a présenté les deux persos principaux dans une situation particulière, où l'un des deux se fait passer pour quelqu'un d'autre... mon premier réflexe a été de penser "j'espère que ça va pas se passer comme ça" et heureusement, ça ne se passe pas comme ça ^^

dès le début de SPACE, le perso qui a été dupé le sait, il faut dire que l'intrigue se passe 2 ans plus tard et on apprend du coup comment le mensonge a été découvert, mais le perso qui a dupé l'autre ne sait pas encore que l'autre sait (ouais j'essaie encore de gardé un peu de suspense sur qui est qui xD).

Mona et Abram se revoient donc par hasard dans un chalet enneigé (donc pas de possibilité de fuite) et sont donc obligés à un moment de se confronter. Certes après le dialogue obligé du "tu m'as menti", le dupé ravale sa rancœur pour essayer de comprendre les raisons du mensonges et sur quoi exactement portait le mensonge. je dis houra parce qu'on ne rumine pas sur le fait passé mais on essaie comprendre le point de vue de l'autre, pour aller vers une réconciliation :)

Mona et Abram ont la vingtaine et ils agissent et pensent comme des jeunes, donc parfois ils ont pas forcément la science infuse comme s'ils avaient tout vu, tout vécu, tout connu... et de temps en temps ils n'hésitent pas à s'auto-sermoner pour agir en adulte responsable et pas laisser leur sentiment "à chaud" les diriger. cela s'applique aussi aux persos secondaires qui sont présent.

J'ai vraiment vraiment hâte de lire le 3e opus TIME *-* en espérant revoir Leo (frère de Mona) et Allyn (meilleure amie de Mona) car ces deux-là on du potentiel couinage ^^

reading a lot makes us able to discern narrative schemas, which are sometimes clichés that makes us predict what the characters will do... we've all read at least one book that embraced a cliché so much that we knew in advance how it was going to end. SPACE is not like that :D

*** attention I may spoil stuff ***

MOTION introduced us to the two main characters in a particular situation, where one of them pretends to be someone else... my first instinct was to think "I hope it's not going to happen like that" and thankfully, it does not happen like that ^^

from the beginning of SPACE, the person who has been duped knows it, the plot takes place 2 years later and we learn how the lie was discovered, but the person who fooled the other doesn't know yet that the other knows (yeah I'm still trying to keep a little suspense about who's who xD).

Mona and Abram sea each other by chance in a snow-covered chalet (so no possibility of escape) and are therefore forced to talk to one another. of course, after the obligatory dialogue of "you lied to me", the fooled one stop his rancor to try to understand the reasons for the lies and on what exactly lies were about. I say houray because we do not ruminate on the past fact but we try to understand the point of view of the other, to go towards a reconciliation :)

Mona and Abram are in their twenties and they act and think like young people, so sometimes they do not necessarily act at their best as if they had seen everything, lived everything, and known everything... from time to time they do not hesitate to self-sermon to act as a responsible adult and not let their feelings lead them. this also applies to the secondary characters.

I really can not wait to read the 3rd installment TIME * - * hoping to see Leo (Mona's brother) and Allyn (Mona's best friend) again because there is potential swooning between these 2 ^^

Motion

de Penny Reid (2019)

Résumé : One week.
Home alone.
Girl genius.
Unrepentant slacker.
Big lie.
What’s the worst that could happen?

Mona is a smart girl and figured everything out a long time ago. She had to. She didn’t have a choice. When your parents are uber-celebrities and you graduate from high school at fifteen, finish college at eighteen, and start your PhD program at nineteen, you don’t have time for distractions outside of your foci. Even fun is scheduled. Which is why Abram, her brother’s best friend, is such an irritant.

Abram is a talented guy, a supremely gifted musician, and has absolutely nothing figured out, nor does he seem to care. He does what he feels, when he feels, and—in Mona’s opinion—he makes her feel entirely too much.

Laws of Physics is the second trilogy in the Hypothesis series; Laws of Physics parts 1 (MOTION) & 2 (SPACE) end with a cliffhanger.



Autant j’avais pas hyper accroché à Elements of Chemistry, autant là quelle belle première partie *_* . Mona est attachante dans sa bizarrerie et son inadaptation sociale (et ya des choses en profondeur qui promette un bon développement) et Abram est parfait xD (il lit **** et là, tu couines) (oui je me suis censuré pour votre plus grand plaisir).

Bon ya une histoire de « petit » mensonge et de confusion d’identité qui j’espère ne tombera pas dans le cliché, en me disant que c’est Penny, elle fera pas du cliché #fingercrossed

Suite attendue avec impatience !

I was not very excited about Elements of Chemistry, but Motion is a beautiful first part *_*. Mona is endearing in her weirdness and social maladjustment (and there are things that promise a good character development) and Abram is perfect xD (he reads **** and you swoon) (yes I censored myself for your great pleasure).

There's a story of "little" lie and confusion of identity that I hope will not fall into the cliché, as it's Penny Reid, I know she will not make a cliché of it #fingercrossed

Book 2 is awaited with impatience !

Dr Strange Beard

de Penny Reid (2018).

Résumé : Ten years after Simone Payton broke his heart, all Roscoe Winston wants is a doughnut. He’d also like to forget her entirely, but that’s never going to happen. Roscoe remembers everything—every look, every word, every single unrequited second—and the last thing he needs is another memory of Simone.

Unfortunately, after one chance encounter, Simone keeps popping up everywhere he happens to be . . .

Ten years after Roscoe Winston dropped out of her life, all Simone Payton wants is to exploit him. She’d also like some answers from her former best friend about why he ghosted her, but if she never gets those answers, that’s a-okay. Simone let go of the past a long time ago. Seriously, she has. She totally, totally has. She is definitely not still thinking about Roscoe. Nope. She’s more than happy to forget he exists.

But first, she needs just one teeny-tiny favor . . .


Roscoe est le petit dernier de la fratrie Winston, relativement discret dans les tomes précédents on peut enfin vraiment faire sa connaissance dans son roman. Et que ne découvrons-nous pas sur lui ?!? Roscoe (ou Penny) cachait bien son jeu. Un peu déstabilisant au début, le roman se passe 5 ans après le précédent (Beard in Mind), il a donc bien grandit depuis Beauty and the Mustache !

Simone et Roscoe, cette phrase était une évidence pendant leur enfance et adolescence et puis ils se sont brouillés et voilà des années qu'ils ne se sont plus revus. Jusqu'à ce que Simone revienne à Green Valley et se croiser était inévitable. Les deux amis d'enfance vont avoir beaucoup de choses à se dire, et leurs retrouvailles vont se compliquer avec le retour imprévu de papa Winston.

Après le choc des 5 années fictives écoulée depuis le tome précédent (et il s'en est passée des choses), c'est un plaisir de réintégrer le clan Winston. Roscoe et Simone vont très bien ensemble, on a des flash de leur adolescence, cela rend encore plus émouvant la raison de l'éloignement de Roscoe et pourquoi il ne se réjouis pas tout de suite de revoir Simone. Parcontre nous sommes incapables de résister (tout comme Simone) surtout quand Penny Reid nous sort une scène où Roscoe est par terre recouvert de chiots *-*

L'intrigue autour de Darrell et des bikers peut prendre parfois un peu le pas sur la romance, mais il était impossible d'échapper aux développements de cette histoire, et on en aura la fin dans le dernier tome. De ce côté là aussi, il y en a eu des évènements en 5 ans !

Bon j'ai l'impression d'écrire une review un peu légère, mais j'ai peur d'en révéler trop sur les personnages et l'histoire et qui pourrait spoiler le lecteur assidu. Mais sachez que vous allez kiffer Simone et vouloir donner des câlins à Roscoe :)

Roscoe is the youngest of the Winston brothers, relatively discreet in previous books, we can finally really meet him in his novel. And what aren't we learning about him?!? Roscoe (or Penny) hid his (her) game well. A little destabilizing at first, the novel takes place 5 years after the previous one (Beard in Mind), so Roscoe has grown well since Beauty and the Mustache !

Simone and Roscoe, this phrase was obvious during their childhood and adolescence but then they scrambled and they have not seen each other for years. Until Simone comes back to Green Valley and crossing path was inevitable. The two childhood friends will have a lot of things to talk about, and their reunion will be complicated with the return of the Winston's Dad.

After the shock of the 5 fictitious years since the previous book (and things have happened you know), it's a pleasure to be part of the Winston family again. Roscoe and Simone are good together, we have flashes of their adolescence and it makes the reason for Roscoe distance even more emotional and why he is not glad at first to see Simone again. We are unable to resist to him (just like Simone) especially when Penny Reid writes us a scene where Roscoe is on the floor surrounded by puppies *-*

The plot around Darrell and the bikers can sometimes take more room than the romance, but it was impossible to escape the developments of this story, we will have its end in the last book of the series. In addition, there have been events for the bikers in 5 years !

Well I feel like I'm writing a review a little light, but I'm afraid to tell too much about the characters and the story and I could spoil the readers. But you'll love Simone badassness and want to give Roscoe hugs all the time :)
