The conflict around fame didn’t make much sense, since both of them chose acting as a career and both were actively pursuing more serious roles which would lead to more fame. BUT this was still super cute and I love the telenovela vibes.

This was actually so cute. I wish there was a little more romance, but for a book about chess i was very entertained

This was good, but the end became very dramatic and sort of took me out of the story a bit. Also all the dance comparisons to real life felt so forced just to prove that they were actual dancers

It was still fun, but it felt like nothing was happening for most of the book until the last couple chapters and even that didn’t feel as high stakes as it should have.
The bonus chapter was literally everything and more!!

This was insane! Kind of a slow start but once they get on the island it’s non stop craziness

Given that this is the first book of a trilogy, it almost feels like the end here could’ve been the actual ending and that there’s no need for 2 other books. I would have loved if the ending felt more high stakes and left off on a more intriguing cliff hanger. It was good, but I don’t know if I’m interested enough to continue the series.
