Beth is a really annoying little girl but, thankfully for her, I have a soft spot for annoying little girls.

Watched the show twice (the week it came out), became obsessed (as one naturally does) and then borrowed the book from my cousin so I could read it.
The book doesn't stray far from the show and I was pretty happy to discover that they managed to include almost everything from the book into the show which is great for book to movie/show adaptions, which is about all I can say about the book? Like it's good but the show is infinitely better and more entertaining.

Amazing book! Very thrilling from start to finish. There is one sexual assault scene that’s poorly handled in my opinion but it’s pretty early in the book and the rest of it is really well written. I love the main character and her journey through the world of chess is very inspiring.
