In this clever and swoonworthy YA debut from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis, life’s moving pieces bring rival chess players together in a match for the heart.

Mallory Greenleaf is done with chess. Every move counts nowadays; after the sport led to the destruction of her family four years earlier, Mallory’s focus is on her mom, her sisters, and the dead-end job that keeps the lights on. That is, until she begrudgingly agrees to play in one last charity tournament and inadvertently wipes the board with notorious “Kingkiller” Nolan Sawyer: current world champion and reigning Bad Boy of chess.

Nolan’s loss to an unknown rook-ie shocks everyone. What’s even more confusing? His desire to cross pawns again. What kind of gambit is Nolan playing? The smart move would be to walk away. Resign. Game over. But Mallory’s victory opens the door to sorely needed cash-prizes and despite everything, she can’t help feeling drawn to the enigmatic strategist....

As she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place. And as her love for the sport she so desperately wanted to hate begins to rekindle, Mallory quickly realizes that the games aren’t only on the board, the spotlight is brighter than she imagined, and the competition can be fierce (-ly attractive. And intelligent…and infuriating…) Comédie romantique Contemporain Fiction Fiction sports Littérature Romance Romance contemporaine Sports Comédie Jeu d\u2019échecs Sincère Jeu

I love the story, but I feel like the end wasn't as satisfying as love hypothesis. I love Mallory, she's selfless, hardworking, bubbly, relateable. Nolan has a cool personality, he's really chill but also Witty and has this determination and focus on chess that is attractive. Also Mal's friend and Nolan's friends are a nice addition to the storyline. The romance and intmacy is sweet, enjoyable and I would totally read this again. I'm having post book sadness and would like a sequel. Klarissa's narration is awesome, I really enjoyed her voice for Mallory.

Ali is becoming a fav author for me.
