honestly i was questioning whether or not I would like this book since I have never played a game of chess in my life but it is so interesting. The character of beth is very memorable and i thoroughly enjoyed her coming of age story.
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 :)
