So Close (Love Grows Series Book 4) by Renee Regent – Review by Lorrene Huisman

So Close by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first read by this very wonderful author, and most certainly it shall not be my last. This was the 4th novel they had written in the series. I simply loved the two characters the story focused upon. It had a lot of feeling and a lot of emotion along with it. And to me, if you can feel that, you know its a good book!

The story is told through time and time gaps of the friendship and love that was growing and lost and found again between the characters Dahlia and Levi. In their childhood they were basically the best friends that would always be. At least so they thought. They were each others back and even as children they knew the friendship they had would always be needed and special always and forever.

As the story first opened they were two grown adults. Time and something had happened that separated and ruined everything they had or could have had within testing the strength the bonds of friendship and maybe even true love. Personally for Dahlia she is quite happy with life and doesn’t need a curve ball to change the course of how things are going for her, Dahlia is done and over from the years that they no longer spoke and she wants nothing more than to ever hear his name again. Perhaps you cant avoid destiny? They meet again and probably in the most worst way at the time. They have to work together and basically spend a lot of one on one time together.

Yes things were weird for these two very much, but you honestly could feel their feelings for one another leaping off the pages and truly they loved one another even though there was pain and resentment mixed into the pot. I kept asking myself what happened? What made them lose everything they had? Was Levi at fault, as it truly was the way it seemed?

They spend more time together. Let me say the drama and hurt was strong feeling between these two souls, but I must say love can be the strongest thing of all if you let it. The truth comes out with what happened between them, and it was not what I expected. Then, everything made sense and a lot of things come together and into place, and even hearts that were never meant to leave one another’s side.

Things happen quickly to sum up towards the end of the book. I personally saw this as a romantic movie. The main couple solves the problems and drama that kept them apart and both realize what they wanted all along was one another and they pushed one another away out of hurt and drama. And then like a moment that froze still in time and the rest of the world fast forwarded around them, they found what they always knew what they wanted, and never got, and that was the love of one another and being together. And truly this time they both knew no doubts, forever was in their cards, as well as their hearts.

I really enjoyed reading this love story between Dahlia and Levi. It kept me interested in what happened that ruined everything. And even after the truth came out everything made sense and everything came together like a perfect masterpiece. Love isn’t easy. It isn’t for most. Sometimes you have to go through hard times to really show your love is worth it. And that is exactly what these two souls did

I recommend this book truly. I think the story itself was appealing plus I enjoyed reading about Dahlia and Levi’s backstory of times they shared together. The story was very sweet and enjoyable. I had a good experience reading this book and will read more. And I look forward to that! Pick it up and read this book, its one I can honestly say you will enjoy it as much as I did truly.
