I will preface by saying usually I am a Ali Hazelwood stan but this book was just not it for me.
It was super cute and fun but I felt like there was zero depth to the plot and the plot itself was incredibly repetitive. Chess is interesting but as a main plot point hard to make a compelling story out of.
Also while I typically enjoy a little bit of miscommunication I really didn't enjoy it in this book. Mallory not talking to her mom at all about her emotions is not healthy.
Just not for me.
