Reviews with content warning for Car accident - Things We Never Got Over

One of my favourite series ever. I love a grumpy x sunshine and a found family. This was my first Lucy Score, book; it made me fall in love with her writing and these characters. I immediately fell in love with both of the mcs, I loved the introduction to the world, it was entertaining and drama-filled from page 1. I not only fell in love with the mcs but also all the side characters, I could see the setup for future books but I also loved the depth other characters brought, which added depth to the mcs. It was a perfect slow burn that's full of tension, humour, and love. What was perfect was that you got the slow burn in the first half and the spice in the second half; the story had a crime side plot that was well-developed enough to make it a massive part of the story, linked to multiple side characters, and really dragged you in. I also loved the fact that they had real conversations and even though it was a happy ending, the conversations and self-healing to get there were healthy (in the end) and realistic. 6/5 stars!

This story was so well written. The characters feel very stereotypical and for a while I thought the ending of the book was going to be predictable but I was so wrong. The whole book I felt so frustrated for Naomi right up until the very end. The dialog feels like "buzzfeed quiz quirky millennial" humor.
I wish that Knox's character wasn't so toxic masculinity-y. It would've been nice to see him not focus so much on Naomi's sexuality and vague description of how she stuck in his mind and heard him describe a deeper interest in her character and personal attributes. Also, his treatment of her I think is very uncomfortable like calling her pet names outside of the relationship and how he takes a lot of control over her. I can see how it can be seen as sexy but to me it came off very controlling and unsettling.
