It Sounded Better In My Head by Nina Kenwood is a romance novel surrounding 18 year old Natalie. Natalie faces changes in her life when she is about to graduate her senior year of high school. Her parents were getting a divorce and her crush and best friend started dating. As it is labeled as romance, Alex is seen as a comfort character to Natalie but there wasn’t any real chemistry apart from the comedy and insanely cute banters. Their relationship felt unreal to me because their conversations were literal interrogations. I felt like Alex’s presence wouldn’t change anything if he wasn’t in the book, Natalie was the only person on her side, she herself coped through her worries. The characters Nina wrote gave me second-hand embarrassment because of the awkwardness seen throughout Natalie’s interactions. I feel like most teenagers would relate to the quote, “I’m eighteen, and sometimes I would still want to stand up and scream, this isn’t really me.” I recommend this book as a light read and I would give this a 3.5 rating. ~KK

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is my favorite book. Tom is a mischievous young boy who gets into all sorts of trouble. He has a big crush on a new girl named Becky Thatcher, and would do anything for her. He witnesses a grave robbery and murder with his friend Huck Finn. He even runs away with his friends and people assume he's dead. Tom can always talk himself out of a scrape, and can even get kids to take his punishments AND pay him! This is a wonderful book about a fun and daring childhood.
