Finding Audrey
by Sophie Kinsella
Review
Summary:
An anxiety disorder disrupts fourteen-year-old Audrey’s daily life. She has been making slow but steady progress with Dr. Sarah, but when Audrey meets Linus, her brother’s gaming teammate, she is energized. She connects with him. Audrey can talk through her fears with Linus in a way she’s never been able to do with anyone before. As their friendship deepens and her recovery gains momentum, a sweet romantic connection develops, one that helps not just Audrey but also her entire family.
My Honest Review:
I started this book and I really couldn't get into it. The story just didn't capture my attention like I thought it would. But as I kept reading a quarter of the way through I just couldn't stop reading. I love Sophie Kinsella books, her book just capture me. I love how she writes. The stories she puts out there. They are just so funny. The metaphors that she uses in her stories. They are just so funny. One of my favorites in this is about the rhubarb. I laugh everytime I think of it.
This story isn't all fun and games. It has a really deep meaning to it. Basically anxiety and how to express how people think and look at you. Having a fear of not liking who you are. This story is just so beautiful. I loved that this is her first YA book. And she told such a powerful story with it. Its a very deep and emotional if you can somehow understand these emotions.
I also like that during the story she took awhile before the romance factor kicked in. It wasn't all instalovey. It was more than 150 pages in before the feelings come into the story. That really stood out to me. I love how the story progresses. How Linus and Audrey are together and then throw the brother Frank into it. How Frank was Linus's friend first. I love how the friendship didnt fall apart just because of Linus and Audrey together.
I love how the story ended it just ended on a really good note. Not the way I was expecting from how crazy Audrey's mom is. I just really love this story. Being her first YA novel I didnt really know what to expect of it. But its just so enjoyable. 4.5 stars.
