Critic reviews

PRAISE FOR FINDING AUDREY:

"An outstanding tragicomedy that gently explores mental illness, the lasting effects of bullying, and the power of friends and loving family to help in the healing."
—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

"Kinsella's knack for humor and sensitivity shine."—Publishers Weekly

"It's fun, it's quick, it's cute, but it also focuses on deeper topics with maturity and responsibility."—The Guardian (UK)

"With her trademark wit and sass, Kinsella's sensitivity broaches the complexities of young adult mental health. [Her] Shopaholic series has long been popular with teens, and her YA debut will likely be just as happening, maybe even among Kinsella's adult readers."—Booklist

"Sparkling dialogue, carefully developed characters, great parent-child interaction . . . all join to demonstrate the author's expertise in developing a compelling story."—School Library Journal

Great story

I love the story and the charechters. The narrator is really good!!

I liked the charechters persanalitys

Loved it! ♡♡♡

Loved the book, sometimes it takes me a long time to get into an audio book, but I was hooked instantly. I have read other books by this author, but I felt an instant connection with Audrey and her family. also felt it gave a good insight to her medical condition without it being to scary, and Audrey is a very likeable and relatable character.

YA story

I was excited to read the new Sophie Kinsella book. I should have read first the reviews and the presentation. It is a teen story with a teenager problem. Serious problem, but still addressed to teenagers. It's funny here and there, but I find it more suited for my 12 years old niece. I found myself wanting to hurry the audio to finish it. I would have liked to see the other characters developed more.

really enjoyed this book

I am a real Sophie kinsella fan and really appreciated the insight into what it means to have social anxiety and depression. Great book!

Very enjoyable!

I love that this book takes you through the ride of life from the eyes of someone with PTS and social anxiety. It's graceful, funny and accurate.
