New York City, cute boys and new friends. Perf much?!

So Much Closer, a brand new novel by Susane Colasanti, has all of this. When high school junior Brooke finds out the love of her life is moving to NYC for senior year, she wants to follow him there. Talk about crazy! She’s sure they are meant to be, and the opportunity to live with her dad in the Big Apple is suddenly looking like a very good option.

Flash to Brooke suddenly in a new school in the West Side Village sitting next to Scott Abrams, the boy of her dreams. Funny how life works sometimes, huh? What Brooke doesn’t realize is how much this move is going to change her life and the way she sees the world. Her besties from home start to act funny, Scott has a girlfriend and her genius IQ is being more noticed than usual.

Will Brooke ever win Scott over? Will she lose her old buds? Will she become closer with the new ones?

The city is offering more than Brooke could imagine in this quick read, and Colasanti draws you into the pages more than you could believe. Her use of the teen language and a teen perspective is fabulous, and we guarantee you’ll find yourself as lost in this book as you would in New York City itself!
