JavaScript Object-Oriented JavaScript Object Basics Filling Out the Play Method

String returned from the play method is wrong?

I feel like what I've got here should be correct, but it's telling me that the string returned isn't what it's asking for?

object.js 
const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        if (this.isTurn) {
          return "player1['name']" + " is now playing!";
        }
    }
}

Hey Beth!

I think the problem is that you have quotes around player1['name']

If you remove those you should be good. Right now it is interpreting everything inside as a string instead of finding the value that you are looking for.
