In December 2023, deadline announced that Score is number one New York Times The bestselling novel Things We Never Got Over was developed by Amazon MGM Studios, with Echo and Jane The Virgin author Amy Rardin serving as executive producer and showrunner.

Things We Never Got Over is the first book in Score’s Knockemount trilogy series. The novel follows the protagonist, Naomi Witt, a runaway bride who returns to the fictional small town of Knockemount, Virginia, where she takes care of a long-lost niece and a grumpy but handsome local man to whom she turns.

“When I started writing [“Things We Never Got Over”]“I didn’t know what it was about,” Score told Deadline in September 2024. “I thought, ‘Okay, it’s this grumpy hero and this opposites-attracting heroine that shows up in town.’ I thought that was what the story was about, but just before I started writing, one of my dear friends suddenly passed away and I struggled to write the book. I kept trying to just slap it away, but something wasn’t working. At some point I realized that I was writing about my own grief, and once I accepted that, the story really came together. “Things is still a romantic comedy, it’s still a love story, but behind it is the theme of how brave it is to love someone when you know you’re going to lose them.”
