Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood

medium-paced

5.0

This book was like a warm hug when you need it most. I don’t typically read YA but I couldn’t not put this book down. I usually prefer my books to have  🌶️ but the banter and chemistry between these characters is just spot on. 

I love how she was able to educate you on chess without it feeling overwhelming or intimidating. Honestly there hasn’t been a single Ali Hazelwood book that I didn’t love and she absolutely delivered again with this one.
