"'And the champion goes down!' I laid down my cards and raised my fists in the air. Yes, this
was a bit juvenile, but I could count on one hand the number of times I'd beaten my mother at any game—chess, UNO, hangman, Monopoly (we had travel versions of every game ever made)—so
I decided to give myself a pass. My mother didn't react, however. When I looked up from the table, she was staring at the hotel room door. My heart gave a tiny squeeze." -Pretty Fierce by Kieran Scott

Well, that sounds a little bit worrisome, that her mom isn't paying attention. Need to read more! What about you guys? Happy reading!
