Even though I know little to nothing about chess, I still found the many parts of this book that reference chess to be interesting and found that I was still able to understand what was happening enough to stay intrigued.
While this book follows Beth Harmon who ends up at 19 at the end of the book, this is not a YA title; this book almost read like a nonfiction title. I would recommend this book for people who liked the show, enjoy stories about women's empowerment, and would enjoy reading about 1960's society.

there was a perfect amount of side characters and they all added so much to the plot in exactly the right moments. I wouldn’t say the writing is extremely mind blowing but it’s done in a way to keep you engaged.
definitely one of my favourite books i have read this year and I’m definitely going to watch the show because i haven’t yet :)
