My friend recommended her to me for years, and I finally caved with 'The Fixer Upper'. I was underwhelmed. It felt predictable and the characters didn't grab me. I told her, and she was shocked—she insisted I try 'By a Thread'. I did, and I was hooked. So my advice is: if your first pick doesn't work, don't give up on her entirely. Try a different title from a different 'era' or sub-genre. Her backlist has different flavors, and your first try might not be the right one for you, even if it's the popular recommendation.
Honestly, just pick the one with the cover or blurb that speaks to you most. Her writing style is pretty consistent across her popular titles—fast-paced, dialogue-driven, with a guaranteed HEA. Getting too caught up in the 'perfect' entry point can suck the fun out of it. I started with 'Mr. Fixer Upper' because I liked the premise, loved it, and then went back and read everything else. The connections between her books are usually just cameos or shared towns, not crucial plot threads, so you really can't go wrong. Just dive in wherever your interest is piqued.
The supporting casts are what make her books feel lived-in. You'll meet side characters in one book who get their own story later. It's rewarding to recognize them. Starting with 'Things We Never Got Over' gives you the foundation for that. You meet the Nash brothers, the town sheriff, the eccentric neighbors. When they pop up in later books, it feels like catching up with old friends. If you're the type of reader who loves that interconnected, community feeling, starting at the beginning of a 'world' is the way to go.

Can we talk about how good 'Rock Bottom Girl' is as a starting point, though? It's like the perfect sampler platter of everything Lucy Score does well: humor, heart, personal growth, hot chemistry, and a satisfying ending.
