This audiobook was 7 hours long... And this is the first time I finished an audio in one day! I loved this book! It's the most unapologetic, relatable (personally) book i read!

pickThis YA novel about 18-year-old Natalie- her friends and family, her plans for the future, her social awkwardness and insecurities- is sheer delight from start to finish. It‘s funny, sweet, hopeful and really well-written.
My top nine from 2020. “Holiday Mix Tape” by Beau North and Brooke West was an honorable mention/10th.
Beach Read was #1 but the rest are in no particular order. I‘m tagging the post under the one that was the biggest surprise.
so-soWaiting to hear about her university placement, a teen in Australia deals with changing friendships and a new relationship.
so-soEh. Coming-of-age has been done better, but the described feelings of acne scaring body image, first boyfriends, and the shift in transitioning from secondary to university are all well depicted. The opening scene of discovering your parents have been faking their marriage for nearly a year sucked me into the storyline quickly I just wish there would have been a stronger story-arc.
pickI really enjoyed this book. It had a great romance and likeable characters. An awkward and relatable story about the period between the end of high school and waiting to hear what the future will bring.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickSweet YA with a nice message. The way you see yourself is not necessarily the way others see you and the way you see them is not necessarily the way they see themselves. #ozfiction
When you realize that you are significantly older than the parents of the heroine in your book😳😱😩
