It is worth it.
I loved this story and specially the concept of having the crossroads of stories through the game scrabble where all of the background stories of the protagonists emerge and give insights into their life while still having the individuality. How the author has portrayed the characters and did the character development really stood out very well for me and this is the thing that I loved the most. The very first chapter itself, which starts with the description of Mr. Blenchflower took away my heart and I knew this book is going to be something else and it didn't disappoint my expectations. Mr. Blenchflower was the teacher which we all want in our lives and was the one whom we always look out for as an ideal, as someone who inspires us (You can obviously read the first three chapters in the sample in the kindle edition and decide whether you want to read it or not because I know after reading it, you want to read the book
