This was an absolutely AMAZING and WHOLESOME read, the book kept me grinning and cheering on the characters throughout! This book deals very gracefully with misogyny in chess (and in general!), and honestly, it made me want to pick up chess. I loved all the friendship and family interactions, and I wouldn't happily read a 100 more pages of it 🥲

-- ty to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an advanced copy!

This book was so cute, I absolutely loved the MC and her journey. I’m not the intended target audience and wanted to read it so I could get it for my younger cousins when it comes out and I’m so glad I did. I feel like the book was so well written and overall super enjoyable to read.
