WONDERFUL! Oh I loved this book, which is a mystery/study in grief set at a Scrabble tournament. Pitch perfect YA in that I felt really connected to my teenage self while reading, and a total love letter to language. I learned so many words I could play in Scrabble! And also that I would get creamed in Scrabble by any of these characters, lol. Really fantastic if I'm honest I think everyone should read this, not least because of how quickly i tore through it.
