BOOK REVIEW
It Sounded Better in My Head
by Nina Kenwood
Natalie just got her ATAR and is waiting for her uni placement when her world turns. Mum and Dad are separating - a fact they have hidden from her for ten months, all in the name of successful studying.
Natalie is an adorable and angsty teenager. Having suffered from severe acne since puberty, she hates her body, her scars and stretch marks, and generally being seen.
She has two best friends, Zach and Lucy, but this is now sometimes awkward since they became an item. And then Natalie and Zach’s older brother start having a thing. But what is this thing as Natalie has never had any sort of romantic relationship before?
Beautifully written, with real and utterly believable characters, this book is so easy to get into. It handles first love and the insecurities of growing up today with humour and compassion.
