<blockquote>“Don’t think of it as marriage,” Benny tells her. “Think of it as castling.”
Beth raises an eyebrow. “Am I the king or the rook in this analogy?”</blockquote>
➤ I love how well balanced this is between all the different aspects of things going on: the feelings between Beth and Benny, the working out how to make a life together (separate from the feelings), the chess, the simmering sexual attraction, the other people in Beth's life who are important to her, and Beth's understanding of herself. Really good!
