Long Story Short
by Victoria Walters
DID NOT FINISH: 45%
medium-paced
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Thank you to Boldwood Books for the e-arc of this book.
Full disclosure, I DNFed this book at 70%. The premise was promising, but the execution was fumbled. The writing was clunky, making normal conversations seem awkward. The convos weren’t snappy, and all felt a little roundabout even when they were being direct. The characters also annoyed me, especially when trying to be “furtive” but doing PDA in such public places (i.e., the Brooklyn Bridge). I also did not like Hayley, the fmc’s boss, at ALL. She rubbed me the wrong way. Other side characters were okay, but I’m sorry to say this book was not it for me.
