An Amazon MGM Studios series adaptation is in the works for Lucy Score's bestselling novel, Things We Never Got Over, Deadline exclusively reported.

The book is the first in Score's Knockmeout series, and has sold more than five million copies all in all. It's also a mainstay on #booktok lists for favorite romance novels.

Things We Never Got Over follows Naomi Witt, a runaway bride, from the altar to small-town Knockemout, Virginia when she gets a call from her estranged twin sister Tina. As soon as Naomi gets into town, Tina helps herself to Naomi's car, phone and purse. But Tina does leave something behind: an 11-year-old daughter. Now stuck in an unfamiliar town without a car, a phone or a job, Naomi meets a sexy local who becomes her knight in shining armor.

The first book in the series was published in January 2022, with the next two, Things We Hide from the Light in February this year and Things We Left Behind in September. All three books were on the New York Times Bestseller list.
