Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)

Genre: Romance

About 550 pages

For Naomi, running away from her problems only seems to lead her to more… After running away from the altar, she runs to her sister Tina who calls her asking for help. Unfortunately, that was a misleading call… When Naomi arrives in Knockemout, not only is she forced to deal with her twin’s terrible reputation but her sister has stolen her car, wallet, phone, and more from Naomi. And in its place, left her daughter Waylay for Naomi to take care of. In the midst of things falling apart, Naomi meets Knox, the town’s “bad boy” who prefers to be alone. However, despite his best attempts to resist, he can’t stay away from Naomi. He goes out of his way to help her & Waylay and seems to be falling for her in the process. Though he plans to distance himself as soon as she’s back on her feet, his heart and the trouble Tina has gotten into have other plans for him.

After seeing all the hype for Things We Left Behind, I knew I needed to return to Knockemout. And I enjoyed this book a little more the second time around! Not sure why but I bought into Knox and Naomi’s relationship more and had greater sympathy for Knox during my second read. As said in my OG review, I really enjoyed the side characters and wish we got to know more about them (what was the deal between Lucian and Sloane, deeper dive into Waylay’s early childhood, and more about Nash, Knox, and Lucian’s younger selves). Because of this, I am super excited to read TWLB soon!

Favorite Quote: “You know what they say about ‘fine’— f*cked up, insecure, neurotic, and emotional.”

I don't usually enjoy enemies to lovers but I enjoyed it in this book. Could've been a five star read, but the ending felt a little bit rushed and strange.

I honestly can't fathom why people are raving about this book. It's utterly repulsive in every aspect.

Firstly, who in their right mind constantly belittles women and indulges in possessive nonsense like Knox? It's beyond pathetic.

And those two brothers? They behaved like complete savages at that motel. I mean, seriously, who engages in that "she's mine" idiocy with a total stranger they met mere hours ago? It's laughable.

Furthermore, what sane man urinates in his front yard with his dog? Are we living in the Stone Age or what?

I'm thoroughly disgusted. None of the characters possess any semblance of depth, and the female lead is even more imbecilic. She ran away from her own wedding not even a day ago, and now she's inexplicably attracted to some foul-mouthed bloke? Honestly, where's her brain?

In any case, I couldn't care less about any of them. The dialogue is insufferable, the writing is grating, and the prose is an abomination. I'm infuriated beyond measure.

Well, good on you if you enjoyed it. I'm gonna go find something that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out. Later, folks.
