If you’ve been on social media lately, then you’ll know that “The Queen’s Gambit” is currently one of Netflix’s buzziest shows.

The seven-episode limited-series follows Beth Harmon’s fascinating, albeit tumultuous, life as she grows up to become a world-class chess player. From her complicated family life to her struggle with substance abuse, the show is totally captivating — and no, you don’t have to play or even understand chess to love this show.

Written by Walter Tevis, the book’s description says: “Engaging and fast-paced, this gripping coming-of-age novel of chess, feminism, and addiction speeds to a conclusion as elegant and satisfying as a mate in four.” Plus, the book has received a whopping 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon with reviewers calling it “spectacular” and saying it “knocked me off of my chair.”

Even Michael Ondaatje, the award-winning author of “The English Patient,” is a fan. He is quoted as saying, “‘The Queen’s Gambit’ is sheer entertainment. It is a book I reread every few years — for the pure pleasure and skill of it.”

You can order a physical copy of “The Queen’s Gambit,” but we recommend picking up the audiobook on Audible so you can really hear the story come to life.
