NOTHING COMES CLOSE by Tolulope Popoola

Ok so I just finished reading this book did a lil research then decided to write about the book "Nothing comes close" by TOLULOPE POPOOLA and if i must say, I was really inspired by its suspense and lovely prose, I particularly like her description of objects and events, and how they are tied into the story effortlessly.

Short Description: Confident, sassy, career girl, Lola meets cool, handsome, unpredictable hunk, Wole at a party in London. He pushes all the right buttons for her, and sparks fly. Wole is also irresistibly drawn to Lola, and before long, they get together in a wonderful romance. But Wole is not all that he seems, and he is holding back some dark secrets.
Things start to unravel when Wole’s past begins to catch up with him and Lola has to decide if Wole is worth the trouble that threatens to overwhelm her. Find out in this captivating book if their love will overcome the trials of a murder investigation, an arrest, a meddling relative and a trip halfway across the world, or whether they both give up and go their separate ways...

 "Nothing Comes Close is not highbrow literary fiction, meaning that it is not a novel that Chimamanda Adichie would write. But that actually is a tremendously wonderful thing. Man cannot live on Adichie alone, not if you are like me and you find yourself always hankering for delightful and beautifully written love stories" >> Ainehi Edoro

In her debut novel, Nothing Comes Close, Popoola, explores a theme familiar to most of us, which is that of finding love. However, an unexpected death, imprisonment, betrayal and dark secrets, add twists that make this book much more than a boy meets girl story. A fine debut.” ~ Yejide Kilanko, Author of Daughters Who Walk This Path

“One word: Riveting. Sometimes unsettling. That’s how I can best describe Nothing Comes Close. I appreciate her ability to create believable characters that readers will find themselves rooting for when it comes to that sometimes complicated life challenge of initiating and building love-relationships.” ~ Lara Daniels, Author of Love in Paradise and Love at Dawn.
