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.
