Quinn's Quippy Quotes's Reviews > Check & Mate

This was so stinkin' cute! I adore everything Ali Hazelwood so of course I had to give this a try. I would say that this isn't Ali's signature as her main characters are chess players (a subject I know squat about), but I quickly recognized Ali's quirky characters and original dialogue. I love imperfect characters and Mallory fits the bill. Mallory's backstory that leads to her taking on so much responsibility with her family tug on my heartstrings. But watching Nolan fall in love with her immediately was all the feels! This didn't have as much angst as I typically get from Ali, but it's still adorable.
