Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella

2.0

Finding Audrey is a YA contemporary book about a teenage girl who is suffering from depression and social anxiety and how she is trying to get better.

First of all, the family dynamics were spot on. The parents were funny and the whole video game drama was entertaining. And the little romance was cute at first.

However, the second part of the book was rushed. Not only when it came to the love story, which escalated too quickly, but Audrey's progress was messy and unbelievable. She was struggling in the first half, and then, miraculously, she was healed. Plus, Audrey's story was never fully explained, as one was left to patch up things by hints she kept leaving here and there. Also, Audrey was often left out of the story, as the author focused more on the family and her siblings. Which wasn't bad, but that made Audrey's healing process to be forced to skip a lot of stages. In addition, it would have been nicer if we could also see the impact that Audrey's condition had on the family a bit more and not just in the ending.

Finally, the audiobook was well narrated.
