Things We Never Got Over: The Sunday Times bestseller and TikTok sensation de Lucy Score

Things We Never Got Over: The Sunday Times bestseller and TikTok sensation: Knockemout™ Series

Autor Lucy Score
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 iul 2022

Recomandăm această lectură celor care caută în paginile unei cărți acel echilibru fragil între umorul situațiilor cotidiene și profunzimea emoțiilor nespuse. Things We Never Got Over este o invitație în Knockemout, un orășel din Virginia unde viața curge după reguli nescrise, iar trecutul are prostul obicei de a te prinde din urmă exact când încerci să scapi de el.

Premisa ne-a captivat prin contrastul său onest: Naomi Witt, o mireasă fugară care a încercat toată viața să fie „fata bună”, se trezește fără mașină, fără bani și cu o nepoată de unsprezece ani în grijă. În acest peisaj apare Knox, un frizer morocănos a cărui filozofie de viață exclude orice formă de atașament sau complicație romantică. Stilul lui Lucy Score evocă o atmosferă caldă, dar presărată cu tensiuni mocnite, unde atracția dintre protagoniști se construiește lent, prin gesturi mici și replici tăioase.

Imaginați-vă tensiunea din Stuck Together de Mary Connealy, mutată într-un decor contemporan de provincie americană, unde comunitatea este deopotrivă un refugiu și un observator critic. Această lucrare marchează începutul seriei Knockemout™ Series, consolidând temele predilecte ale autoarei — familia aleasă și vindecarea prin vulnerabilitate — pe care le-am întâlnit și în alte scrieri ale sale, precum Mistakes Were Made sau The Mistletoe Kisser. Subliniem faptul că, deși tonul este adesea ludic, sub suprafața unei comedii romantice se ascunde o explorare sinceră a responsabilității și a curajului de a o lua de la capăt atunci când imaginea ta despre viitor s-a prăbușit.

Descriere

Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon. Knox doesn't tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride.

Naomi wasn't just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her
estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes
are settled the old-fashioned way . . . with fists and beer. Usually in that order.
Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn't changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi's car
and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didn't know she had. Now she's stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-
old going on thirty to take care of. There's a reason Knox doesn't do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi's life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.
At least, that's the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.

Recenzii

I laughed. I cried. I laughed while I cried, and I definitely blushed, and it was the best, most delicious emotional ride! Knox and Naomi's story is an epic, spectacular read
Lucy is a master at creating characters so real, lovable, and funny
It's a long story, you gotta take your time to get involved with all these characters, see the relationships develop and grow, you get ALLLL THE LITTLE MOMENTS that would make you GUSH AND SWOON
There's that moment when you finish a really incredible book when you just have to take a second to take a deep breath and absorb all your feelings because it was so tremendously good and you can't voice all the good it made you feel. You feel it in your soul. That's what Things We Never Got Over did for me
It's got every single thing I love in a romance book: a gruff/grumpy bad boy who says he doesn't want love, but his actions dictate otherwise, a hopeless romantic heroine that all readers want to befriend, a small town with charm but one that doesn't skimp on the gossip, and a sweet budding romance that readers root for
I loved the subtlety and the transformation of the broken hero - and broken heroine - and the growth in intimacy was so very satisfying. These two opposites attract in the best of ways, and their chemistry was both smokin' hot and seriously swoony
The small-town characters were plentiful and colourful! This well-written story made me laugh, as well as pulled at my heartstrings with its excellent plot. Fabulous read!
This book is addictive reading with its lovely, kind heroine in Naomi and the combative grump with a heart of gold in Knox. With hot times, wit and banter, a wonderful cast of characters, brother duking it out over anything, a talented, blossoming pre-teen and a growing problem, and you have a wonderful read which goes straight onto my reread shelf
I absolutely loved the humor but even more I loved the depth of emotion as these characters grew and learned from their mistakes
Lucy Score always gives me the feel-good and adorably witty sincere romance butterflies. Things We Never Got Over has all her sincere magic with a heavy heap of small town charm and an immersive level of suspense
Each side character is precious. Seriously. They deserve their own story, specially Knox's brother and bestie
The writing is so entertaining that it'll have you breezing through the pages. I felt all the feels. Laughed out loud (so many times). My kindle sizzled. And my gosh all the characters were just so fun and likeable
I finished this book with a big fat tear rolling down my face. And I don't care one bit
Wildly romantic, full of drama, heat and heart. The perfect small town romance
