 What I Thought... 
 * I found myself immediately sucked in to Strawberry Valley. It's a cute small town in Oklahoma with a cast of characters I can't help but love. 
 * Jase has spent that last several years in prison for a crime that he did commit, but when you find out all the details you can't help but be on his side. He has some issues that stem from this but he is trying to work on them, even though at times he feels like he doesn't deserve it. 
 * Brook Lynn is someone I want to be friends with. She was fresh and funny and down to earth. She also has a disability that is not common in books, which I found refreshing. I also liked how she handled it and how Jase handled it - like it was not even a thing. 
 * There is some awkwardness between Jase and Brook Lynn given another situation in the beginning, but I thought it was handled smoothly and they make an adorable couple. 
 * While Jase and Brook Lynn are the main characters there is a large cast. I loved Jase's friends West and Beck and their stories (especially West's) should prove quite interesting. Brook Lynn's sister isn't someone I easily identified with, but I'm sure when it's her turn we will get to see what's under the surface. 
 * There are a couple of twists/new developments that occur later on in the book, none of which are alluded to in the synopsis, which is fine by me, though I think that we probably didn't need both situations to make the romance work. 
 * My only complaints about The Closer You Come was that it was a little long for a contemporary (for me). I like my contemporaries in the 300-350 range and this one is over 434 pages. It was an excellent book, I just thought that with the two surprises near the end, taking one of them out would have put things a little shorter. 
 Overall The Closer You Come was an excellent summertime read and I cannot wait to get to The Hotter You Burn.
