Offers a deeply relatable narrative, particularly the protagonist Mallory's personal struggles and life trajectory. The rivalry-to-lovers dynamic between Mallory and Nolan, their mature and supportive relationship, and the competitive chess setting add depth and excitement to the story. The author, Ali Hazelwood, excels in creating believable characters and gripping narratives.
