A Story About Healing and Moving Forward

At the heart of Things We Never Got Over is Naomi, a woman who is running from her past. After a difficult breakup and the loss of her beloved twin sister, Naomi finds herself stuck in a small town called Knockemout, Virginia, trying to escape the ghosts of her former life. With no one to lean on and no plan for the future, she’s forced to face the challenges that life throws her way.

Things take a turn when she meets Knox, the town’s grumpy, brooding mechanic with a reputation for keeping to himself. Knox is a man who has his own emotional scars, and he’s not looking for anything to do with Naomi or anyone else, for that matter. He’s content with his quiet, solitary life. But Naomi’s arrival in town shakes things up in ways neither of them expected.

What starts as a seemingly simple, reluctant interaction between the two turns into a deep, emotional connection that neither can deny. While Naomi is battling with her own personal demons, Knox finds himself drawn to her, despite his best efforts to stay away. As they slowly open up to each other, both Naomi and Knox learn that sometimes the best way to heal is to let others in and that love can come when you least expect it.

A Grumpy Hero and the Woman Who Changes Him

One of the most exciting aspects of Things We Never Got Over is its unforgettable characters. Knox is the ultimate “grumpy hero,” the kind of character you can’t help but fall in love with. He’s tough, closed off, and emotionally distant, yet there’s a vulnerability underneath that makes him both fascinating and lovable. His quiet strength and gruff exterior hide a heart that’s been broken and is afraid to love again.

Then there’s Naomi, a woman who has spent years hiding from her emotions and avoiding attachment. She’s been hurt before and isn’t sure how to let someone in again. But Knox’s presence in her life forces her to face her past and the pain she’s been running from. Their dynamic is both sweet and complicated, and the way their relationship evolves is both tender and swoon-worthy.

As their relationship deepens, both characters confront their own emotional struggles. Naomi’s journey is about finding her voice, accepting her past, and learning to trust again. Knox’s journey, on the other hand, is about letting go of the pain that’s holding him back and embracing the possibility of happiness and love once more. Together, they help each other heal in the most beautiful way, proving that love is often about finding someone who understands your pain and accepts you for who you are.

A Small-Town Romance with Big Heart

What makes Things We Never Got Over so special is its setting in the small town of Knockemout. The town itself becomes a character in the story, with its quirky residents and tight-knit community. It’s the kind of town where everyone knows everyone’s business, but also where people look out for each other. The small-town vibe adds a unique charm to the story, making it feel cozy and familiar, while also bringing with it its own set of challenges and opportunities for growth.

The book’s setting allows for a lot of heartwarming moments, from community events to heartfelt conversations, making it a perfect escape for readers who enjoy stories about close-knit communities and the relationships that form within them. The town of Knockemout is the perfect backdrop for Naomi and Knox’s love story, as it provides a safe space for them to confront their pasts and begin to rebuild their futures.

Themes of Love, Loss, and Second Chances

At its core, Things We Never Got Over is a story about second chances both in love and in life. Naomi and Knox are both broken in their own ways, but through their connection, they begin to heal and grow. The book shows that healing is a journey, and it’s not always easy. Both characters face obstacles along the way, but they learn that the best way to overcome those obstacles is by opening their hearts and letting others in.

The themes of loss, grief, and forgiveness are also central to the story. Naomi’s past is filled with loss, and she carries that pain with her as she tries to start over in Knockemout. Knox, too, has suffered his own form of emotional loss, and his reluctance to love again is deeply rooted in that past. Through their relationship, they learn that the only way to move forward is by embracing their vulnerability and allowing themselves to heal.

A Perfect Balance of Humor and Emotion

One of the things that makes Things We Never Got Over stand out is the perfect balance of humor and emotion. Lucy Score does a brilliant job of blending the sweet, funny moments with the more emotional and heart-wrenching ones. The book has plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, thanks to the quirky characters in Knockemout, but it also doesn’t shy away from exploring the deeper, more painful aspects of the characters’ lives.

The combination of humor and heart makes the story feel real and relatable, and it’s what makes the romance between Naomi and Knox so impactful. Their journey isn’t just about falling in love it’s about finding peace, healing from the past, and discovering the strength to move forward.
