Story Behind The Book
The plot for Nothing Comes Close grew out of an online series titled In My Dreams It Was Simpler that Tolulope Popoola created and co-wrote with eight other writers. She created the main cast, and picked two of them as protagonists for her novel. “The online series ended on a cliff-hanger.” She said. “I wanted to get my female protagonist to a point where she was satisfied with the choices she had made for her future. With the novel, I got to make that happen.” The story captures the ups and downs of a girl, her group of friends and her love interest as they try to navigate careers, heartbreaks, loyalty and cultural expectations in an exciting and entertaining way.

<div style="color:#bf5f00;"><strong>"Nothing Comes Close explores the usual love story in a very fresh manner, employing lovely prose, suspense and the posing of serious questions to tell an immensely entertaining story. I enjoyed every moment spent reading it. Highly recommended." ~ Richard Ali, Editor-in-Chief, Sentinel Nigeria Magazine.</strong></div> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div><strong>Tolulope Popoola is a good communicator. Her writing connects readers to the story in a way that makes it easy to relate to the characters. I particularly like her description of objects and events, and how they are tied into the story effortlessly. Nothing Comes Close is a book I will really love to see as a movie, I can actually picture the characters and scenes in my mind already! I hope that day will come. ~ Shola Okubote, Editor of Femme Lounge</strong></div> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div><strong>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</strong></div> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div style="color:#ff7f00;"><strong>One word: Riveting. Sometimes unsettling. That's how I can best describe Nothing Comes Close - Tolulope Popoola's novel. 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</strong></div> <p> </p> <p> </p>
