ARC Review: Long Story Short by Victoria Walters

Publication Date: May 19, 2025

Long Story Short was such a cute read! While the explosive chemistry between Freya and Jake starts as dislike, it doesn’t take too long before it morphs into something else. It makes perfect sense to me for two people with writing brains to eventually see all that they do have in common & the power that those shared interests hold.

One of the things I loved in this story was watching Jake soften. He’s cold on the exterior at the beginning but it was so sweet seeing him warm up towards Freya as the story went on. That softer side really makes him a fantastic romantic character.

Victoria Walters has delivered another brilliant cutesy romance story! It was so easy to cheer for Freya and watching Freya find her voice was wonderful to see. This book is so very British in the most charming of ways!

Thank you to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
