Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood

3.0

I don't think I would have read this one if it wasn't nominated for the North Star YA Award. I'm familiar with the tropes Hazelwood likes her main male love interest (dark haired, extremely tall, hands that dwarf the female love interests somehow) and thus every time Nolan was described I was taken out of the book because I was too busy laughing about these tropes. I know that some kids will definitely love it.
