It’s been a hot minute since a Lucy Score read and I forgot how much I love her witty banter. Could of used some more spicy scenes but a small town story always puts me in a great mood
Fake Dates, Schreibblockade und ganz viel Kleinstadtcharme
Ich mochte Story of My Life richtig gern! Lucy Score schafft es einfach jedes Mal, mich mit ihren warmherzigen Geschichten in charmanten Kleinstädten abzuholen. Das Setting hat mich direkt an die Knockemout-Reihe erinnert: eine schrullige Nachbarschaft, skurrile Nebenfiguren und jede Menge RomCom-Vibes – das perfekte Rezept für ein echtes Wohlfühlbuch.
Hazel war mir sofort sympathisch. Sie steht gerade an einem ziemlich chaotischen Punkt in ihrem Leben, macht aber das Beste draus – wenn auch manchmal etwas unüberlegt (Hallo, Spontankauf eines Hauses). Ihre kreative Krise ist total nachvollziehbar, und wie sie versucht, wieder zu sich selbst zu finden, hat mich berührt und gleichzeitig oft zum Schmunzeln gebracht.
Campbell als mürrischer Handwerker mit Herz war das perfekte Gegenstück zu ihr. Ihre Dynamik war super unterhaltsam – herrlich bissige Dialoge, süße Fake Dates, ganz viel knisternde Spannung und dazu eine schön langsame Entwicklung, die einfach Spaß gemacht hat.
Was ich an Lucy Scores Geschichten so liebe: Sie schafft es, Humor mit echten Emotionen zu verbinden. Man liest sich einfach fest, lebt mit den Figuren mit und fühlt sich am Ende einfach wohl. Story of My Life war für mich ein typisches Lucy-Score-Buch im besten Sinne – leicht zu lesen, liebevoll geschrieben und mit ganz viel Herz.

I loved this story. It was so addicting and relatable. And I was seriously LOLing with the impeccable banter. This was my first Lucy Score book, and I can confidently say, it won’t be my last!

Lucy Goosey you have done it again 👏
I have described reading Lucy Score books to my friends as like eating Junk Food. There is so much serotonin in a single bite, admittedly some shame, but more than anything just the insatiable need to keep going until the bag is empty.
But this one is so very different.
I loved Lucy's other books and while they were never completely without a deeper meaning I would also never group these books within the level of deeper meaning as I do those of Emily Henry, Abby Jimenez, and Ashley Poston.
But this one is the exception.
Diving into the psyche of a man who is very much still embedded with the ideology that he shouldn't speak his feelings aloud, while gripping with so much emotional turmoil and put him with a girlie who deflects from having to take any action by being too deep in her feelings is something Lucy does a lot.
But they never spoke it out like this.
since the third act conflict that was so reminiscent with that of Things We Never Got Over I have to take a minute to discuss as well how much I hate having so much fun with Lucy's formula to her romances.
I think it is this ridiculous formula of unbelievably volatile man and heavily lovable Woman that's made it so easy to tolerate her third act break ups.
I do believe this campy writing style also made it so this is the first romance I read in a while about a slumpy author trying to write a book on a deadline that didn't feel like a long winded vent about their own personal slump.
overall, this is probably objectively not a five star read but I cannot deny my heart's desire.
