Holy balls!! God When I say I laughed and I cried with this book!!!! Literally kept me hooked onto the book the whole time! I finished it in one sitting like it's deadass 2 in the morning as I'm writing this since I just finished the story! No matter how much Knox denied wanting to help Naomi and omg him following her along to the mall and buying her a phone! My favorite scene out of the whole book would have to be with Knox punched Naomi's ex and then dragged her to his office to talk! Literally spoke volumes to how much he cared and to see him all panicked when her and Waylay went missing. ( )

The story follows Naomi (36), a runaway bride who finds herself in a small town she's unfamiliar with while her life falls apart. ( )

The tokenism aside, the characters and world-building are well fleshed out, so well planned. I felt like I was really a part of the story in that town. Also, hot damn. ( )

Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score
1st book in the Knockemout series. Contemporary romantic comedy.
Naomi travels to Knockemout at an emergency plea from her sister Tina. And even though Tina has a bad history of taking advantage of family, Naomi won’t refuse to help. This time Tina has gone over the top. She steals Naomi’s car when she gets to town, steals the luggage and money and left Naomi with a niece she’s never met before. As a lookalike twin, Naomi has to assure the townspeople and Knox that they can trust Naomi to care of her niece and be trusted in their stores.

Amusing banter with a bit of suspense as Naomi does some of her first parenting and overcomes Knox and the town’s uneasiness. Great female friendships formed.

I thought the hero really needed to lighten up. Yes, sometimes grumpy can be attractive but he just took it too far with his orders and demands, especially because of his position of authority. Maybe he held on too long in putting Naomi in place of Tina. I’m glad the heroine didn’t hold out as long as I would have.
Looking forward to reading more of this series. ( )

Prettige roman, kwam een beetje traag op gang maar ik ging me steeds meer hechten aan de personages. Beetje spanning erbij en leuke hps. ( )
