Things We Never Got Over: the must-read romantic comedy and TikTok bestseller! (Knockemout Series Book 1) Paperback – 14 July 2022

I was hooked as soon as I read a few chapters. I couldn’t put it down, it’s funny, uplifting, spicy but without loosing a great storyline with some wonderful characters.The characters are witty ;) fun, so opposite but small town living with all their lives intertwined slowly but surly your routing for that love story, you know the one which seems an odd match but perfect. And this one is definitely a rollercoaster of a story with a mess going on that is sad, laugh out loud funny and some super spicy scenes that keep you hooked.I don’t like to put any spoilers in, as me myself hate them when looking at reviews, I’d rather have the enjoyment of reading the book to find out why the reviews say just how good it is. Let me tell you it’s definitely worth the read!I finished this book so quick, I couldn’t wait to read the next two in this series! I’d highly recommend this book.This was the first book I’d ever read by Lucy Score and I know she will become one of my favourites now that’s for sure!

So I tried to read this about a year ago and I just couldn’t get into it for some reason. I decided to go back and give it a second go as I’d seen so much love for it and I’m so glad I did! I really enjoyed it second time round, one of my favourites books I’ve read this month. I sometimes struggle with romance books being a bit too cheesy but this to me had the right amount of ‘falling in love’ and banter with some really great, likeable characters. I feel like I want to go move to Knockemout! I would say 4.5 stars.

This book had me laughing the whole way through (with the odd tear). What a fantastic read. I loved the storyline and every character. Well done to the author. This was my first book of Lucy's and I cannot wait to read another. 5 stars well deserved.

What a beautiful, wonderful story, kept me on my toes, not disappointed, highly recommend. Really enjoyed this and can’t wait to read more!

I think this may be another book that BookTok has massively overhyped.Don't get me wrong, the book was okay, it wasn't a chore to get through and at some points I did enjoy reading it however, I do wonder if I read the same book as the people who call this 'amazing' '5 stars' 'best book ever'?Let's start with the things I liked:- I liked the town. I liked this place as a setting, it gave me Stars Hollow vibes (iykyk).- I liked some of the characters. Waylay? Yeah she was pretty cool. Waylon? Also pretty cool. Controversially I also quite liked Stef (despite him being the biggest gay stereotype, I quite like a gay best friend character).- I liked the general story of Naomi and Waylay, how she all of a sudden has to care for this 11 year old and how she navigates that.Things I didn't like:- The characters' speech! It just didn't sound believable at all. The way Knox would say 'baby' at the end of every sentence when speaking to Naomi just felt SO forced to me.- Knox. I'm sorry, he's in his 40s? Why is he acting like a teenager when it comes to his feelings? He really does have the emotional maturity of a 13 year old.- The whole Tina/kidnapping drama felt like such an anticlimax.Overall I didn't hate this book. I've definitely read much worse. But for a 500 page book, I kind of expected a bit more to happen I think.

Well how can I ignore this book when it has so many of my favourite tropes. Runaway bride, enemy to lovers, mistaken identity.This book left me at 1:30am in the morning full of human feelings as I couldn’t help but melt with the outcomes.Naomi was not only a runaway bride but constantly running to the aid of everyone else, including to the small town of Knockemount to help out her black sheep identical twin Tina out of trouble.However, this not only led her to be mistakenly constantly as Tina, feeling the anger of a whole town but to be stood toe to toe with an grumpy, tattooed, Viking looking man who got under her skin from the moment they met in a yelling match in the local cafe. One thing this book taught me is not to get in the way of Naomi or her caffeine.Naomi finds herself in a strange town, nowhere to go and an 11 year old niece to look after she never knew existed. Well this was a bumpy ride but my god my heart could not take the energy between alpha male Knox and Naomi.There was much baggage between the pair, but ultimately they needed something from each other.The side characters were freaking amazing. Waylay being a standout. From badass female pals to brooding best friends, Charming police chiefs and the grandparents of a lifetime. Plus doggos !With danger on top of figuring out a new life there was a lot to unpack but this town really rallied around Naomi and Waylay. I think the dynamics, the constant need to continue reading was so fun to read as I just didn’t want to out the books down.Some bucket holes, broken noses, a wedding dress and a love heart charm later and it was everything I didn’t know I needed. Some parts a little far fetched which is why it wasn’t quite 5 stars but woah! That will live rent free in my brain for a long time.

This book got me back into reading, loved it.

Lucy Score is one of the most incredible writers. The writing in this book is phenomenal! From the start I felt entranced in a story that had believable, fallible characters who made me cry in different ways. I can't wait to read more of Lucy's books!
