Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood
4.0
emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

personally, i considered giving this a 5 stars but it had too many pop culture references that won’t age well. but for a YA book, this was actually very cute and fun (as are all of ali’s books for me). let me repeat that, it’s a YA book. i saw way too many negative reviews on how this was “too cringy” for them, and that just means it wasn’t meant for you – because the target audience is teenagers – and that’s ok!
