WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP PLAYING GAMES?
In the new rom-com, TRIPLE LOVE SCORE (Wyatt-MacKenzie), by Brandi Megan Granett, Miranda Shane leads a quiet existence. The most outrageous thing she’s done in her life is not become a lawyer like most of her family. She’s a poetry professor at a small New England college.
Her life is thrown into a bit of craziness, when this low-key professor starts using a Scrabble board instead of paper to write poetry. She creates a website, “Blocked Poet,” which becomes an Internet success with thousands of followers, and a company wanting to market her to the public (cha-ching)!
The big brother, older cousin, family friend, Scott that she hoped could be more, kissed her and then disappeared for six years has kind of shattered her hopes for romance. But Professor Shane doesn’t mind going against the rules, when it comes to dating her own graduate students. *Warning: Irish student named, Ronan with only one-month or so left on his student visa. Green card, perhaps?
Her carefully planned world is about to be completely implode – and not necessarily in a good way.
I loved the quick witty dialogue Brandi created between the characters. The story-lines took me in directions I didn’t expect, and I certainly enjoyed being refreshed about Scrabble. In fact, I predict TRIPLE LOVE SCORE brings Scrabble back into popularity, again. Yes, I know for millions of people, it’s never gone OUT OF popularity!
Brandi Megan Granett is an author, online English professor, and writing coach. She earned her Ph.D. in Creative Writing at Aberystwyth University and her MFA in Fiction from Sarah Lawrence College. When she’s not writing or teaching or mothering, you will find her on the archery range.

Amazingly enough, Scrabble has always been my favorite board game. I couldn’t wait until my children were old enough to play! I believe it helped with their extensive vocabularies.

I love Trivial Pursuit Disney or Kids edition so I actually know some answers… I just like to laugh at the craziness of having the family around the table and competing.
