She wants to go to Oxford, but convincing her parents is the hardest part. She is smart, she is a girl in STEM, she knows what she wants- we honestly love to see. Summertime vibes, Shakespeare quotes, banter, perfect rivals to lovers- this book had it all!īeatrice Quinn is a mathematical genius and I love her because of that, amongst many other reasons. Thank you to Wednesday Books and Netgalley for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review! In this sparkling debut from Serena Kaylor, Long Story Short is a YA rom-com about a homeschooled math genius who finds herself out of her element at a theatre summer camp and learns that life-and love-can’t be lived by the (text)book. But before the final curtain falls, will Beatrice realize that there’s more to life than she can find in the pages of a book? With her future on the line, this girl genius stumbles through illicit parties, double dog dares, and more than your fair share of Shakespeare. When she’s adopted by a group of eclectic theater kids, and immediately makes an enemy of the popular-and, annoyingly gorgeous-British son of the camp founders, she realizes that relationships are trickier than calculus. Unfortunately, hearts and hormones don’t follow any rules, and there is no equation for teenage interactions. She has six weeks to show her parents she can pull off the role of “normal” teenager and won’t spend the rest of her life hiding in a library.
The compromise: the Connecticut Shakespearean Summer Academy and a detailed list of teenage milestones to check off.
But while math has always made sense to Beatrice, making friends is a problem she hasn’t been able to solve, so her parents are worried about sending her halfway across the world. She always thought the hardest part would be getting in, not convincing her parents to let her go. Growing up homeschooled in Berkeley, California, Beatrice Quinn is a statistical genius who has dreamed her whole life of discovering new mathematical challenges at a school like Oxford University.
