Check & Mate
by Ali Hazelwood
Reread 3/2024
This is actually my favorite Ali Hazelwood book. Laughed, cried, physical chest pains at the YEARNING, all of it. Forget what I said before about wavering at the end. It’s so good. And Karissa Vacker’s audio narration takes it to a new level. She’s fantastic! Mallory & Nolan 4eva

OOP IT WAVERED FOR A SECOND NEAR THE END BUT IT GOT ME!!!!
This was sooo stinkin’ cute and fun! I have LOVED all of Hazelwood’s books so far, they’re always a blast. The eldest daughter in me really jumped out in this one. Nolan was a sweetheart and I liked Mallory a lot, even though she frustrated me most of the time with how stubborn and oblivious she was.
This being Hazelwood’s YA debut, I will say I didn’t notice much of a difference from her adult novels, other than the obviously younger couple and a bit more of a closed door; the tone seemed pretty much the same to me. Didn’t affect my enjoyment tho!
I wavered with my rating at the end because I wish the third act conflict was resolved a little sooner, but how everything came together GOT ME and made me cry so I decided to stick with the 5 star rating. All around a very fun time.
