The best thing about 'It Sounded Better In My Head,' was definitely Natalie. Natalie is our protagonist and she was SO VERY RELATABLE. There were myriads of moments where I found myself thinking, “Oh my gosh, same!” – something that very rarely happens to me while reading. Her narrative voice was realistic, authentic, and made me feel seen. All the insecurities she feels, all the crushing self-doubt she experiences, took me back to my own teen years and articulated the way I felt then very aptly.
That being said, the romance was just...average. Like plain vanilla pudding, it failed to offer anything particularly special or memorable. Don't read this book for the romance; read it for the candid way the author captures the stresses of growing up.
