Close To You by Nissa Renzo

Close to You (initially released in early 2026 and widely distributed by Bloom Books) is the heart-wrenching, viral New Adult sensation by Swiss-Italian author Nissa Renzo. Serving as the first book in the Through the Years series, this upper-YA/New Adult coming-of-age romance is frequently recommended to fans of Chloe Walsh’s Boys of Tommen series due to its deeply emotional depth, heavy trauma representation, and fierce protective pining.

The narrative features a dual-timeline structure, mapping an intense journey from childhood into adulthood. It centers on two heavily traumatized protagonists:

• Milow: A young girl trapped in a profound, forced silence. Her biological father—a sadistic doctor—surgically removed her vocal cords when she was only four years old to keep her from crying out during his horrific abuse. Left selectively mute and deeply haunted, she is placed into a warm, incredibly loving foster home at age six.

• Ashby: Milow’s new foster brother, a popular, sweet "golden retriever" athlete who has lived through his own childhood horrors.

When Milow first arrives, she expects to be treated as an unwanted outsider. Instead, seven-year-old Ashby immediately dedicates himself to learning sign language so he can communicate with her.

As they grow up under the same roof, they become entirely inseparable. Ashby acts as her absolute shield against a cruel world, protecting her from severe school bullying while managing his own immense pressures as a competitive swimmer. Over the years, their foundational friendship begins to morph into a much more complex, intense, and deeply possessive romantic love.
