About this audiobook
From debut author Nina Kenwood comes a tender and funny audiobook about first love and its confusions, and all of the awkwardness of teen romance.
When her parents announce their impending divorce, Natalie can’t understand why no one is fighting, or at least mildly upset. Then Zach and Lucy, her two best friends, hook up, leaving her feeling slightly miffed and decidedly awkward. She’d always imagined she would end up with Zach one day—in the version of her life that played out like a TV show, with just the right amount of banter, pining, and meaningful looks. Now everything has changed, and nothing is quite making sense. Until an unexpected romance comes along and shakes things up even further.
It Sounded Better in My Head is a compulsively listenable love letter to teenage romance in all of its awkward glory, perfect for fans To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and Emergency Contact.

I really enjoyed this book. after many books have let me down recently.
this book was about Natalie and her puberty problems, her divorce parents and her friendship between two best friends that become a couple. I feel connected to her so many ways. she was insecure, childish and honest and lovable character.
It Sounded Better in My Head was engaging. it picked up right away and easy to get through. I like the ideas that we have bad skin protagonists and how hard we have to get through it.
the romance was super cute though the relationship development was a bit lacking. I want them to get to know each other more. it feel rush with everything happens that way.
Overall I enjoyed being in her head and this was super fun to read.1 person found this helpful
