My Rating: 🍪

Things We Never Got Over is SUCH a bookstagram darling and I am so confused about it. I’m keeping my review short because this book gets a single star for me and I don’t want to rage on about it for too long because I’m somehow in the very tiny minority.

This book is like 700 pages long, but somehow…nothing happens?! There’s an inane amount of time spent on Naomi being naive and helpless (and so addicted to caffeine that coffee was brought up on every other page) as she tries to track down her ‘evil twin’ sister and runs into grumpy, personality-less Knox. There was no build-up to their romance, which is a huge pet-peeve of mine. I want to *feel* the chemistry before they’re suddenly in love.

The big action at the end of the book was laughable and so at odds with everything else that I believed nothing.

The small-town setting was well-done, and I really liked Naomi’s sister’s daughter and her relationship with everyone who helped take care of her. Knox and Naomi had some cute moments, but I disliked them both so much that was kind of negated. Big pass for me.
