A review by jennp28
Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood

lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.5

I think having watched The Queen’s Gambit made me able to appreciate this book more. The world of chess is a wild thing. 

Love a good rivals/enemies to lovers story. This one adds in female empowerment, complicated families, changing friendships… good read.
