Long Story Short
by Serena Kaylor
As a huge math nerd and acting camp alum, I was so excited for this book. And it didn't fall short of those expectations! I loved reading about Bea's story, the obvious sexual tension with Nik, and how much she grows throughout the story. Bea is definitely coded as being on the autism spectrum, nothing is ever stated about it in the text and I absolutely loved that element. We get to focus on Bea herself, not any labels from a diagnosis that have been thrust on her. Mia and Nolan were exuberant and really helped lift Bea up throughout the story, without trying to change her. Bea's bluntness, humor, and tenacity are part of what makes her so compelling as a character. Add in a Shakespearean bet with a kiss on the line? It's solid.
