Nothing Comes Close Tolulope Popoola Books

I do love happy endings and that's just what this book offered. It was simple and somewhat predictable read, but not bad. There were a few aspects that didn't really make sense to me, like what happened to Maureen. It brought nothing of value to the story and if you removed it, the story would move right along without it. The entire circumstances just made no sense, including what Wole did. Wolfe's lockup didn't either, you can't just lock people up without evidence...that should not have gone beyond questioning. Also the mess her sister pulled and him going along with it was too ridiculous. It made no sense which made it unbelievable. Funny thing with fiction is that although we know it's not true, it still has to be believable. It wasn't too bad, just okay.

Nothing Comes Close Tolulope Popoola Books Reviews

Nothing Comes Close is the debut novel by author author Tolulope Popoola, who weaves an intriguing romantic suspense tale about love, life, friendships and relationships. Set in London and Nigeria, and written in an alternating first person narrative, the reader follows the story of Lola and Wole, who meet at a party and embark on a whirlwind romance, only to have Wole's dark past catch up with him, causing their budding relationship to have numerous obstacles that stands in their way of love and happiness. Can Lola and Wole's love overcome the obstacles, or will their relationship come to an untimely end?

I really enjoyed this story which is written in an African style that reflects the author's heritage. I was fascinated with the storyline as it is different from what I am used to reading. With a three-dimensional cast of characters; witty dialogue and interactions; and a storyline that mixes romance with a mystery that provides a lot of intriguing drama, suspense, twists and turns; Nothing Comes Close engages the reader to follow along as the tumultuous relationship of Lola and Wole unfolds.

Interwoven throughout the story are normal life issues that Lola and her four girlfriends are dealing with, they are normal career and personal issues that are believable and easy for the reader to relate to. What captivated my interest the most was Wole's story, his complicated and dark past full of secrets is riveting and keeps you guessing as it comes to light, but deep down you know that he has a good heart and you can't help but feel for him. I loved how the author delves into the complications of life challenges that arise in love relationships, that is the crux of the dilemma that Lola and Wole face, and it makes this a classic love story with a twist of mystery and suspense thrown in the mix.

Nothing Comes Close is an enjoyable romantic suspense novel that will keep the reader entertained!

Disclaimer I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for my honest review.
I have mixed feelings about this book and I will be sharing those.

Nothing Comes Close is said to be in the genre of contemporary romance/ chick-lit, so I picked it up wanting some funny and romantic moments. I don't think it fit those genres well enough for me personally. I was left wanting for more romance and some chick-lit fun. I found this book to be more dramatic and thriller than romantic or chick-lit. It was more serious than I expected it to be.

Things I liked-

The plot is good enough and has some ups and downs.

The book is not slow paced if anything.

I see a bit of romance here and there.

There is some element of surprise and mystery involved.

The book has a lot going on - with Lola (the main character), Wole (her boyfriend) and Lola's girlfriends.

Things I would have rather steered clear of -

The book has so much going on that I would rather have it go one way than everywhere all at once. It becomes a bit of mumbo jumbo when there are too many characters and their lives involved and not enough pages to go through them slowly.

The author's writing style and use of language other than English. I understand and wish to cut the author some slack when it comes to writing since I believe her first language is not English but I found the writing style to be a bit different and took me some time to adapt to. Also, the use of language other than English (probably Nigerian) kind of irked me because I couldn't understand the expressions. Maybe a footnote or word dictionary at the end of the book would have helped.

The characters irritated me to some extent because they were a tad too dramatic for my taste. However, having said that, people like this may exist, it's just that I have done well not to cross their paths.

The insertion of a sort of mystery/thriller within this book didn't work for me because even though the plot had something to offer, it wasn't executed with precision. And perhaps needed some editing.

Overall, I can say this book would appeal to people looking for a sort of romantic mystery with a huge amount of drama served on the side. I think the author has made a decent enough start and I wish her the best for her future writing endeavors.
This is a very captivating love story that you never want to drop once you start read. I recommend this book to every romantic out there.
The book is nice.

Would have loved it if the setting was in Nigeria. All the same, the writer was good.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. This new voice of young African writers is amazing! Definitely worth the time to purchase and read.
I gave this book only one star because that is the lowest possible ranking. I couldn't finish this book - in fact I couldn't read more than about 30% of it before I gave up. It is unusual for me to give up on a book, particularly so early in it. The only positive thing I can say about the book is that it might appeal to some teenage girls.
