I thought "It Sounded Better in My Head" was utterly delightful.

I read this whole book in one day and my only complaint is that I wish it had been longer so that I could have gotten to meet and connect with the characters more because in the end, I felt like I had connected with Natalie, but sadly not so much with Zach, Lucy and Alex.

Natalie is a completely relatable character who is very insecure in her body due to her acne scars and her issues with acne in her early teens. I have read so many books in which the main characters were supposed to be insecure and introverts but actually really weren't so it was incredibly refreshing to read a character who is really, definitely uncomfortable at parties and who does hide her face and back from people - even her best friends.

The fact that she has had to deal with - in her eyes - "perfect" girls all her life, didn't help her cause and she is constantly overthinking every step she takes.

I immediately felt very much in love with Natalie and loved following her narrative. I wished that there had been more depth or explanation to her and Alex' budding romance - especially because the two of them have known each other for several years and Natalie does hang out a lot at their house, but as a reader, I got the feeling that her and Alex' communication starts exactly when it does in the book. I would've wished that the two of them have had some kind of a casual relationship because he is her best friend's brother, especially because that would've meant that the reader gets to know him more than I ultimately did.

However, my complaints are honestly minor because I absolutely loved this book and now wish I would have taken my time reading it instead of finishing it in one day. I don't want to let Natalie go yet... :)
