Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella
Published by: Delacorte books for Young Readers
Genre: Young Adult romance, Social issues, YA contemporary
A new read for me especially since I bought a copy months ago. Now I've finally had time to read the book cover to cover, I can say that it's certainly entertaining.
Finding Audrey is about protagonist Audrey who suffers from anxiety, like a severe form of anxiety, and depression. We don't know exactly what happened but the book introduces the reader into the manic world she lives in. It's actually remarkable that her family haven't caused her more stress. But at the same time, you laugh and smile at how insane they are. It's literally like having that weird uncle every family has.
But Audrey's brother is the one whosuffers the most. He's addicted to some computer game similar to World of Warcraft, and their mother isn't a fan of that. A compulsive Daily Mail reader, she takes time to go out of her way and try and cure the poor lad of his addiction and in turn pushes the mysterious Linus into Audrey's life.
Whilst this all happens, Audrey is taking steps to get better and just be able to go back to the person she was before, or at least some version of that.
It's a magical story that I loved. I just wished we were told the full extent of what happened to her.
The book can be bought in the UK from Amazon or Amazon US.
