When I say I loved this book I mean I LOVED this book!!!!!!

It was soo good!!!
It reminded me a lot of The Queens Gambit but set it in the present and make it more about a love story where the girl doesn’t wanna pursue chess even though she’s a fucking prodigy.

It was amazing!!!
The tension between Nolan and her was unmatched and I loved every second of the book!!!!!
