Title:
Things We Never Got Over
Format: Paperback
Overview:
Things We Never Got Over is a must-read romantic comedy that became a TikTok sensation, bringing a fresh, sparkling energy to the small-town romance genre. At the heart of the Knockemout series, Lucy Score gifts readers Naomi Witt, a woman on the run who discovers safety and a startling catalyst for change in the rugged, protective world of Knox Morgan. Knox runs a longtime bar in the unassuming Virginia town of Knockemout, and his gruff exterior masks a fiercely loyal heart. As Naomi seeks a new start, the two collide with a chemistry that crackles from the first page—equal parts sweet, funny, and fraught with danger. Score balances witty banter with genuine emotion, weaving in a cast of memorable townsfolk and a web of secrets that keeps the stakes high. The paperback edition invites you to immerse yourself in Score’s sharp dialogue, cinematic setting, and the slow-burn tension that fans adore. Perfect for readers who crave humour with heat, resilience with romance, and a read that feels both fresh and irresistibly comforting, this title is a standout in contemporary romantic fiction and a gateway into the beloved Knockemout universe.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Lucy Score’s voice shines in Things We Never Got Over, delivering a funny, edgy, and emotionally layered romance that doesn’t shy away from real-world grit. Naomi is not a passive heroine; she owns her choices, faces danger head-on, and learns to lean on others without surrendering her agency. Knox Morgan, the town’s unofficial captain, is the perfect foil: protective, stubborn, and unexpectedly tender as he grapples with trust, responsibility, and a past that still haunts him. The chemistry between Naomi and Knox is electric, anchored by sharp dialogue, playful banter, and a slow-burn that keeps turning up the heat. The book also excels at world-building—Knockemout feels like a character in its own right, with a strong sense of community, loyalties, and a dash of suspense that adds momentum. This is not merely a romance; it’s a story about second chances, found family, and the courage to rewrite your future. It’s a title that has defined many readers’ bookshelves and sparked countless conversations on BookTok, making it a modern romance touchstone.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
This is for readers who love contemporary romance with bite, big-hearted heroism, and a smart, resilient heroine. If you enjoy small-town settings, witty repartee, and emotionally satisfying payoff, Things We Never Got Over will resonate deeply. It’s ideal for fans of grumpy-sunshine dynamics, enemies-to-lovers twists, and character-driven storytelling. Suitable for adults and older YA readers who appreciate brisk pacing, sharp humor, and a blend of danger and tenderness. Gift buyers will find it a compelling pick for romance lovers, BookTok enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a binge-worthy read with lasting emotional impact. While part of a series, the standalone charm of this title also makes it a perfect entry point into the Knockemout world, offering a complete reading experience with the promise of more from the town’s unforgettable residents.
