I don't really mind Sophie kinsella. I'd choose her over Collen hoover a thousand times. But that's a rant for another day

Picked this up from my local library today and read it all today. I truly expected to love this book, but i didn't. The first 100 pages was a slow read, it felt neverending, after that I actually liked this book. So in the end it turnd out to be a good book, not a great one.

I genuinely LOVED this book. It was funny and just over all had me smiling at it's cutesy narrative. I feel like it was definitely a novel I needed at this moment, as I'm kind of in a Fantasy slump right now. I love how it focuses on mental illnesses, which most authors are terrified to address. (It's understandable because of triggers and most people don't understand mental illnesses, but I wish more authors would write about the topic more. They genuinely are serious problems.) Also, I loved how even though one of the books major themes is romance it didn't really focus on the romance. It focuses more on Audrey and her progress in healing. If I had to say anything bad about this book it would have to be the fact that I wanted more. What caused Audrey's medical problems? (Technically I know that wasn't the purpose of the book and that was writing technique, but still I was/am curious). You can make inferences but I would've like more depth. Also, when I finished I kept looking for more pages. I would've loved for Audrey's story to be longer. And also, I do have to say, I wish the book wouldn't have been as much about Frank and the video game problem. I loved how it gave character to Audrey's family but, at the same time, I feel it shouldn't just be about Frank. The book is called Finding AUDREY. But other than that I genuinely loved it. An overall cute novel and I highly suggest if your looking for a cute, funny, uplifting novel.

This was my first Sophie Kinsella book and OMG I loved it so much!! Finding Audrey is about a 14 year of girl who suffers from extreme anxiety and wears black sunglasses all the time because even eye contact is too much for her to handle. It's a quick feel good read I think many people would enjoy.
The family dynamic is so relatable and so funny, the dialogue and witty remarks between them had be cackling out loud to myself. The opening scene of the book was absolutely hilarious, I could totally envision the neighbours forming from all directions in attempt to save the computer. I thought the writing was done very well, going back and forth from story telling and the documentary was fun and enjoyable. Usually when books have email threads or a chain of texts and it breaks up the reading, I don't typically enjoy it.
Audrey's relationship with Linus was so adorable and kind. Linus and Audrey's whole family are so supportive of her and what she's going through. I really enjoyed Finding Audrey. It's a great read to help spread awareness of mental illness and it's written in a way that makes it so relatable for whatever the reader might be going through. It touches the fact that getting better it's always easy or as fast as you may want it and it's alright to have episodes fall backs and the importance of medication. Bravo!
