Let's Get Quizzical by Kelly Ohlert

Thank you Libro.fm for a ALC of Let's get Quizzical in exchange of my honest opinion.
Let's get Quizzical is a dual POV second chance romance where both main character's families are in a bad position financially and they enter, without knowing about each other, to this trivia competition to win the cash prize. Charlotte and Eli were once sweethearts in high school, but they had a fall out when Eli ghosted Charlotte. Now they ended up being paired in this trivia show and will have to work out their differences.
This book is heavy on the drama. Both Eli and Charlotte have very complicated issues at home which makes their motivation to win several times higher. I personally liked it because also makes the stakes higher and certain decisions having more values and consequences. Charlotte's grandmother is dying and she needs the money for the medical expenses. While Eli and his father are trying to make ends meet while keeping his father out of jail during his parole.
The book has good tidbits for trivia that I quite enjoyed and the romance aspect was very heartfelt.
There were a few plot holes that makes me detract points of this book. My main drawn back was the addition of another plot point for Charlotte that was not properly tied at the end and you keep wondering why was even there to begin with. Those scenes with her estranged grandfather was super unnecessary since his relationship with the family was not resolved. Also, I was not convinced that Eli's financial situation was resolved at all.
Although it was not a super light read because of the drama, overall I thought it was a nice and cute.
