My Thoughts ( Contains lots of spoilers!!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! )
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE PLOT! I’ve never read anything like it before. Nolan, and Mallory belong together. Especially after seeing how much Nolan cares for, and loves Mallory. The way Ali Hazelwood depicted Mallory’s struggle with choosing family, or something she loved to do was really beautiful. I also enjoyed ready how Ali Hazelwood depicted Mallory’s internal struggle with going back to chess, and how Mallory left chess to protect her family. Overall I loved the book, and would read it again just to experience the amazing writing of Ali Hazelwood.
