Numer two: instead of enemies lets have academic rivals, the begruding respect but wanting to be better the tension😍 oh its so perfect, and lets say they are in collage/university (whatever you call it) and lets have them be in a really hard degree like mathematics or enginering or biochemistry. throw that alliteration in too and your english teacher will be as happy as a clam. Number one: two reaserches that are best friends (shocker right they are not eniemes that have a missunderstanding) are reaserching nuclear fusion lets say (because we just had a big advancement in that how exciting 😍) okay and get this the two friends both have feelings for each other but hide it to protect there friendship and through there reaserch they are around each other more and so it becomes harder to repress there feelings and suddenly one of them lets slip and they get together, all slowburn so no need for misscommuniaction or anything, you have smut, science, AND slowburn. Woah looks like Ali has broke the mould and it’s looking good! It’s giving The Queens Gambit and I love it!Īnyways here is my message to Ali Hazelwood on book ideas she could use while still staying in the relm of science. 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. 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.Īs she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place. What kind of gambit is Nolan playing? The smart move would be to walk away.

What's even more confusing? His desire to cross pawns again. Nolan's loss to an unknown rook-ie shocks everyone. 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. 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. 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.
