Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood

Despite the high star rating currently I'm feeling a tad conflicted. 

I will say, during the first two-three chapters, I really thought I was gonna dnf. But something after that just absolutely hooked my attention and I loved it. 

I was thrown off by their ages (18 and 20) for this to be YA, and was also a bit thrown by the amount of sex talk and swearing. Plus, the characters are practically living and travelling on their own for a lot of the book. So it really felt like it should've been marketed as new adult.
