Things We Never Got Over Summary
As the book starts we are thrown into the story with no introduction to the characters. The story starts when a 36-year-old lady Niomi (main character) ran away from her ceremony to help her twin sister Tina. Tina calls her sister to a very small town named Knockemover, yes like literally "knock-em-over".
Tina calls her to a cafe in that small town. When she arrives over there she was not welcomed because of the attitude of her sister in that town. Tina was the opposite of her sister Niomi, she was a rebel and a girl that you can say is selfish. And in that cafe, Niomi meets a guy Knox ( main character).
The first impression of Niomi was not good in front of Knox, as Knox thought that Niomi was Tina because they both were twins. They both had a horrible introduction, but once when Niomi showed her ID they were shocked that Tina really has a twin sister.
And after telling everyone about herself she goes out to see her car, but it was gone. And then she realized that Tina just scammed her and stolen her car. All of a sudden now Niomi has nothing she is in a small town where she doesn't know anyone, she doesn't have money her life has just turned over.
And in the middle of that, she finds out that Tina has an 11-year-old daughter that Niomi has no clue about it. Niomi is not the kind of girl who can leave her niece like her sister. And this is the time when Knox decides to help her. Knox has seen that Tina was not a good mother for the 11-year-old. But his attitude is grumpy.....
BUY "THINGS WE NEVER GOT OVER" FROM OUR STORE
Now is the time for my honest review. According to me the book "Things we never got over" is thick and it takes time to read. There are a lot of places where you will find that this book has a lot of scenes that can be removed.
This book is definitely not a quick read. I will not suggest this book to everyone because a lot of people don't like a book with a single mother struggling. This book has a romance to it but it depends on the person and how they see this situation.
Lucy Store ( the author) started writing this book a few days before three of her closest friends' husbands passed away. She was in shock that three of her friends are now widows in their forties.
She had no idea what is book is all about even when she was halfway through, but once she finished it she got it.
" This book is about the bravery it takes for us to love someone when we all know how every love story ends. It's about choosing love over fear again and again. It is about showing up and being brave even when we know it is going to hurt like hell"
Sometimes she couldn't get past the loss of her friend suffering. She wishes all of us to love wholeheartedly and are there for our relationships so that when we are part our only regret is quantity, not quality.
"That we all understand that the pain of loss is what gives the rest of our life color and flavor and texture"
ANS: It is said to be 13+
How many pages does this book contain?
ANS: 567, from starting[includes "about the author" and "chapters"] to tell the novel ends.
This book has romance in it but I said it depends on a person from what point of view they are reading it. From my side, it was a sad and depressing novel. Especially after reading the author's opinion.
