Knockemout

Disclaimer: I have only read the first book in this series, Things We Never Got Over. It was a fun palette cleanser read, a modern day small town mystery romcom. I actually found myself very invested in Knox and Naomi and the mystery surrounding Naomi’s sister Tina’s disappearance. I’m always a sucker for a good mystery. It’s my true crime podcast era coming through 😉 I also liked how the characters delve into how past trauma has affected their relationships, the author does it in a way that doesn’t feel like a therapy session, but same result. Well done!

Alrighty…plain and simple – loved. I read this book almost in one sitting. I was HOOKED. The mystery part of this book was MUAH and a freaking page turner. Then you add in hot characters, banter, fun side characters, small town drama…then, THEN some good spice…SOLD! There was a part, (I won’t spoil it), that literally had me sick to my stomach from PTSD of dating emotionally unavailable assholes in the past, but I still loved it! Because, like Jamie always says, I’m a masochist. Deep down I know we’re likely going to get a HEA so that keeps me going with these books anyway and I know the heartbreak and turmoil is short-lived.

I didn’t continue on with the series because I wasn’t into the side characters the next book features and I had heard it wasn’t as good as the first one – and nobody has time for that! Our TBRs are too long! I just don’t have time to reread Zodiac Academy once a month 😂 AND books I don’t really like so…
