AUTHOR: Monica Murphy
GENRE: New Adult
PUBLICATION DATE: February 11th, 2020
Synopsis
Asher Davis. My first crush.
My first kiss.
The boy who ripped my heart out of my chest again and again. Over and over. I let him have it every single time.
Willingly.
We are that toxic high school couple you hear about, the one you witness in the hallway avoiding each other. You laugh at them in class when they’re forced to work together, their gazes full of hatred. We are the couple you gossip about when they win homecoming prince and princess their sophomore year…
The back and forth is what kills me the most. I’m not his princess, I’m the girl he toys with when he’s bored. And he’s definitely not my prince, no matter how badly I want him to be.
Our senior year and we’re months away from never having to see each other again when disaster strikes—and brings us closer together. All it takes is one touch, and I’m burning for Ash. Hotter than I ever have.
But will that burn turn into a devastating fire? Or can we actually make it work this time?

My Review
'CLOSE TO ME'
Is a full length, stand alone romance novel by Monica Murphy. Spoken in various POV's.
I am drained, the drama, the angst, the sexual tension, the too and fro, these two were complete opposites, the bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, and the good girl with a football legend as a father. Always worried that boys want to use her and get close to her just because of who her father is. BUT when these two were in each others space it combusted, an attraction that simmered away in the background, the thrown barbs, the hurt feelings, the stolen kisses, this author did not hold back when it came to the full teenage angst. This blew up my kindle!! These two were perfectly imperfect but perfect together, it just took them a long time to come together. So many times I just wanted to jump in the story knock their heads together and yell enough!! Phew these two were a hot mess!!

Fourteen year old Autumn has just started highschool and that's the day she encounters Ash he's the quarterback of their schools football team, he's hot, he's arrogant, and he makes her blood boil like no other. From that day onwards they try their hardest to avoid each other.
As we travel through the years and their tumultuous hate you, but I like you, but I'm not going to tell you that these two put us through is what made this book so enjoyable, from their first kiss, to more I was rooting along with everyone else that these two became a couple. She grounded him, and brought the best out of him, and together they were just perfect. I couldn't get enough of them.
