3.5 Stars!

I'm not sure how to start this review. One thing that I can honestly say, is that I struggled while reading this story. When I read the synopsis of Polarity In Motion, I really expected something else. I knew it was about a girl in high school that was dealing with a naked picture of herself that mysteriously showed up on the internet. However, what I didn't expect was that the entire book was going to be about trying to figure out who took the picture, and who was responsible for putting it on the internet. I know that figuring out who was responsible for the pain it caused Polarity is important, but I really felt that I needed more from the storyline.

With that being said, I enjoyed some aspects of the story. I did like Ethan. He was really sweet and did everything that he could to help Polarity. I liked the relationship that was building between them. I wish that the author would have put a little more of a love story between their characters earlier on in the book. I also like Polarity's dad. The love and support that he was constantly showing Polarity and her mom was great. Even though her mom suffered from borderline personality disorder, and at times wasn't very loving to Polarity, he was always there to calm her down and knew how to treat her when she had her episodes. I really could tell that they both loved each other very much and as a family they worked together to help figure out how this could have happened. I also liked Polarity's grandma! There were so many times that she brought a smile to my face!

In the end I was happy to see that everything came out, as well as being surprised at who was responsible. I did at times think it was going to be someone else, but I was wrong. If you like stories that are about trying to figure out who did what, this one may be for you. I think I was just expecting more of a love story, and that is why I struggled to get through the book.
