Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood

3.5

3.5⭐️ This was not my favorite Ali Hazelwood book. I LOVED Nolan so much but unfortunately the main character Mallory was the most insufferable human I have ever read in my life. I wanted to rip my hair out everytime we got her inner monologue or really when she talked in general. Which is such a shame because the sexual tension in this book was INSANE. for it being YA and virtually having no spice I was shocked at how much tension there was between the characters. Like your girl was sweating reading some of the scenes 😂😂 

Overall I wish I could rate this book higher because it was a great story but sadly I had to dock major points for being so frustrated with the main character 90% of the book.
