“So Much Closer” is the story of a journey.  Initially Brooke, who is a senior in high school, thinks her journey is the transition she makes from living with her mother in New Jersey to living with her father in New York City.  This she does to follow her crush, Scott Abrams, who has moved to NYC himself.  Obstacles along the way include leaving her two best friends in the world, moving in with a father who ignores her, and the realization that Scott has a girlfriend.  In this girl-likes-boy, girl-gets-boy, girl-loses-boy story, the reader learns that what we think we want isn’t what’s necessarily right for us.  The book wraps up with Brooke realizing that her journey to NYC was actually what she needed to discover herself as she puts together a plan for college and a major she feels passionate about, while learning about healthy relationships along the way.
