Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood

emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

ABSOLUTELY ADORED!! It helps that I am a sucker for a) Ali Hazelwood books and b) a nerdy ‘antisocial’ smart guy who isn’t a sexist. This book also inspired me to finally look up the rules of how the pieces move in chess (a task i’ve been aiming to accomplish for ~3 years)
