Everyone knows you can't really trust any feeling you have at night - and the later the hour, the less trustworthy it is. Anything you feel after 10pm is suspect, anything after midnight should be discounted altogether.
It Sounded Better in My Head
Nina Kenwood
Summary: 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.
My Review: Another Aussie YA contemporary knocks it out of the park. This book was such a breath of fresh air for me. I loved being in Natalie’s head because it sounded so much like mine did at 18, and I loved how dialogue heavy it was. It’s been so long since I read a book that was mostly dialogue, and I loved how well these characters communicated with each other, and I loved the push/pull of the romance. I felt like it was so well balanced to everything else happening in Natalie’s life.
Recommended age: 14+ (some mild thematic situations, language)
