So Close is So GOOD!
An excellent read.Sylvia has gone next level with this story.Quick PSA: So Close is not Crossfire. Doesn’t look, smell, taste or feel like Crossfire. If you are expecting Crossfire, you won’t be disappointed. Baby, you’ll be amazed!So Close is decidedly it’s very own deep, dark, deliciousness. Twists and turns abound. Oh, my, so many clues, so many dastardly deals, so many slithering souls; scratching, scheming, sexing their way to the topSo Close is NOT a breezy read. In that, I mean you want to savor Every. Single. Word. If you skim, you will lose the impact of this story. I suggest you set aside a couple of days to dive deep and plan to come up for air only when you have to pee, eat or sleep. Trust me on this.Now let’s talk about the story: Sylvia’s wordsmithing is brilliant. I have read very few novels over the course of my lifetime (and I have read thousands) that can compete with Sylvia’s phrase-turning talent. I found myself at times, rereading sentences, dumbfounded by their brilliance.The depth of Sylvia’s characterization is profound. Again, few novelists have the gift of creating multidimensional characters who are so flawed and damaged we can’t help but hurt along with them. There is one character in particular in So Close who is such a hot mess express, train wreck of an individual, and most unlikeable, who I found myself vigorously cheering on while I actually cringed at her actions. I can’t even right now. Seriously.The multiple POV genius plot sucks you in like a cold hand from the grave and doesn’t let go even after The End. Oh, and it isn’t the end, it’s only just begun. I cannot stop thinking about the characters. I cannot stop thinking about the plot twists and turns. Just when you think you know someone, bam, you discover you are so far off course you can’t see the horizon. The depth and scope of each character is fascinating!Here’s the thing about multiple POV storytelling—who the hell can you believe? My advice is to ALWAYS, without fail, Trust. The. Author. Sylvia is brilliant. She doesn’t mess up her storytelling or characterization.So Close is a moody, evocative, thrilling tale set in contemporary New York City. The gothic undertones swirl seductively around the scheming women whose nucleus is a man obsessed with one of them, and who is willing to go to any lengths to protect her. Highly recommend.
