Queen of the Tiles by Hanna Alkaf

4.0

mysterious reflective tense fast-paced

---

This was a fun book with some cheesy teen romance and a lot of Scrabble vocabulary words. At the heart though, it's a mystery-- what really happened to Scrabble Queen Trina Low? -- and also a story that plays with the the idea of what it takes/means to really win. This book did have me guessing right until the end, which is something I like in a good mystery. While some of the characters were a little too over-the-top to be believable, it was still a good read for the plot twists alone.
