finally done reading all of ali hazelwood's books (excluding novellas)!!! i liked this, but it didn't really resonate with me as much as her other novels. i'm just not particularly interested in chess lol. i thought mallory and nolan were cute tho! i wish we got a bit more of their relationship stage, but the epilogue wrapped things up nicely :)
