Reviews with content warning for Child abuse - Things We Never Got Over

I’m FREE, worst experience of my fucking life.I saw this book all over booktoc and I gotta say am disappointed. Knox is sexist and was constantly talking about her skirts or her boobs and is very emotinally abusive. How does one have the audacity to call Naomi annoying (which she is) and needy and then wont leave her the fuck alone. Like this man throw himself into her life has a fling with her and blurs her lines and makes her think he loves her and then called her HIS LEFTOVER TO HIS BROTHER. His prove for real said ”i was still inside her as i plotted how i was going to end it all" kys like honestly jump of a cliff your a terrible person for leading her on and thinking this while going at it with her oh and lets not forget the fact that he's 40 and freaking peed in his backyard like WHAT.

And then there's Naomi who's whole personally is coffee like girl your 30 or 40 something you don't need to sit there like a child a pout because you want coffee. Naomi just likes toxic men both Knox and whatever the ex's name was are terrible boyfriends this book honestly just romanticizes toxic love. Shes a fucking doormat like she has no brain everyone always need to tell her what to do.

This whole book has no character development and the ending was so rushed like your broke up with her and basically didn't even like her at first you just didn't want your brother to have her and then she gets kidnapped and you suddenly wanna get married? NOTHING and I mean NOTHING has changed wtf .i honestly wish I could go back in time and destroy the manuscript for this book how is this book popular, the most mature person in this whole book with the fucking 11 year old bye this book made me lose so many brain cells.

It is a good book with many very good quotes to remember. The plot worse nice and all the characters was loveable but I just wish that the climax point was better made it. For me personally was a lot boring and not shocking or exciting. But other than that it is a good book. I and I will read the next one for sure.

🇳🇱: toen ik aan dit boek begon, had ik er eigenlijk niet zoveel zin in, omdat hij zo dik is. Toen ik eenmaal begonnen was had ik hier totaal geen last van. Het begin verliep in mijn mening wat langdradig en het duurde even voordat ik erin zat, maar toen ik erin zat was het goed. Knox is echt een kan van mijn hart en bevat alles wat ik in een grumpy man zoek. Ook Naomi was geweldig, zij was de typisch sunshine die elke grumpy VS sunshine trope nodig heeft. Hun romance paste ook echt goed bij het verhaal. Het was een slowburn romance, maar dat vond ik juist heel goed bij dit boek passen. Het boek zit buiten spice en romance ook boordevol actie en avontuur, dit zorgde ervoor dat mijn aandacht steeds opnieuw getrokken werd. Al met al een top boek en echt een aanrader (al had hij van mij iets korter gemogen en dan vooral het begin).

🇬🇧: When I started this book, I wasn't really looking forward to it because it's so thick. Once I started, I didn't have any problems with this at all. The beginning was a bit long-winded in my opinion and it took a while to get into it, but once I got into it it was good. Knox is truly my heart and has everything I look for in a grumpy man. Naomi was also great, she was the quintessential sunshine that every grumpy VS sunshine trope needs. Their romance really fit the story well too. It was a slow-burn romance, but I thought that suited this book very well. In addition to spice and romance, the book is also packed with action and adventure, which attracted my attention again and again. All in all, a great book and highly recommended (although I would have liked it to be a little shorter, especially the beginning).
