Things We Never Got Over
What happens when the life you carefully planned collapses in a single day? In Things We Never Got Over, Lucy Score turns that question into a deeply satisfying small-town romance about reinvention, responsibility, and the terrifying hope of starting over. Naomi Witt arrives in Knockemout, Virginia, after fleeing her own wedding, expecting to rescue her troubled twin sister. Instead, she is robbed, stranded, and suddenly left to care for her niece, Waylay—a child she never knew existed. At the same time, she crashes into the life of Knox Morgan, a gruff barber with no interest in drama, commitment, or emotional complications. What follows is more than a romance. It is a story about learning the difference between rescuing others and respecting yourself, about found family, and about how love often asks people to confront the very wounds they have spent years avoiding. Score is especially skilled at blending sharp humor, tender emotional beats, and addictive chemistry, which is why she has become a standout voice in contemporary romance. This novel matters because beneath its banter and heat, it offers a moving portrait of healing: messy, inconvenient, and absolutely worth it.
