brbooks 's review for:
Finding Audrey
by Sophie Kinsella
I really enjoyed this book and would probably give it a 4.5. As a person who suffers from anxiety and depression- not resulting from a certain event like Audrey- I found a lot to recognize and connect with in this novel. I think that's great for young people looking into literature for characters to relate too.
I read reviews where others thought that it was too insensitive to people's disorders, or that things were fixed too quickly. To this I don't agree- my only issue is that Audrey thinks she can fix herself. Most people who suffer mental illness will combat it for their whole lives. You have ups and downs, and while I think eventually that is realized- I'm not sure it's emphasized enough for my liking. Overall a cute, fun, and endearing read.
Best for: those who like witty comedies on families and disorders - I think if you liked Challenger Deep you will like this.
