Gosh the way I am addicted to Ali's books. When she writes a book, I read it without hesitation. She's one of those authors whose every release lives up to all the past ones. She never disappoints
.POV: When you happen to beat the best chess player in a charity competition and he is now obsessed with you. And then you also get sponsored by a big chess club to play professionally.Yeah, I know, I can't imagine that, but the life of our dear Mallory is so unexpected.The tension and chemistry between these two rivals was out of the universe. The tension between them, delicious.Our tall and brooding Nolan was totally whipped with Mal, who actually thought he was on the verge of killing her. My poor boy, his crush kept avoiding him. But the way he was obsessed and went above and beyond for her was so exciting to read.Mal had some insecurities due to her past that she didn't handle well at first, but the way she soon changed, or as Oz likes to call it, pulled her head out of her ass, was a development that was worth reading.
And Oz gosh he was my crush throughout this book. Effortlessly mean loved him.
This author has such a unique writing style she makes you believe in love itself, no jealousy, love triangles nothing cliche. And no one can geeky talk/ flirt write better than our queen Ali.
