I admit it, I am eating my words … 🫢 when I started this one, I thought it was so cheesy and the MC was annoying af, but to all who yelled at me …
you were right.
readers of all ages, I present to you: a romance with a decent plot!!! and likable characters!!!!
admittedly, the MC naomi did not get less annoying, but I absolutely fell head over heels in love with every single other character from the small town of knockmeout 😭🫶🏼
from lovable librarian sloane to lil sassy kid waylay to the coolest bartender ever silver to the best grandma ever liza, I was obsessed. I would read spin-off after spin-off of these characters in a heartbeat!
naomi and resident viking soft hearted bad boy knox are totally not perfect for each other, but THEY WORK! and they seriously went through all the tropes from enemies to lovers, fake dating, found family, and third act breakups (which are 🤮🤮 and stupid but okay I guess)
lucy score’s writing is absolutely gorgeous and totally sucks you into the story so effortlessly! I’m about to binge her entire backlist because WOW
overall, I’m pleasantly surprised by this one, and I’m begrudgingly admitting that I was wrong 🫥
