I received a copy of NOTHING COMES CLOSE by Tolulope Popoola in exchange for an honest review from CLP BLOG TOURS.The book begins as Lola, the wonderful sassy and confident career girl meets Wole, the calm, cool and handsome hunk at a party in London. There is an instant spark and they get together and begin a romance. But, it is not all that it seems. Wole is holding back some fairly dark secrets and eventually his past catches up to him. Things start to unravel and Lola must decide if she thinks Wole is worth the issues. She tries to decide what to do, and while doing so, the two must overcome quite a bit in order to make it ... or will they just go their separate ways and will their romance end?I really enjoyed NOTHING COMES CLOSE by Tolulope Popoola and had a really nice time watching Lola and Wole fall in love in the beginning of the book and then watch as their love evolved as they met a few obstacles. There are a lot of twists and turns in this novel and a really nice taste of mystery as well. I thought Tolulope did a really good job at creating characters that were likeable and believable and I also think she did a good job at creating such a powerful connection between the two main characters. The story has a really solid flow and I often times tried my best to keep up with everything that was going on. Overall though, this story is enjoyable. Not your typical chick-lit but definitely worth reading!
