A protagonist with general anxiety, social anxiety and depression? Got me intrigued and wanting it so bad. It's just so uncommon. It's also treated well and more realistic than usual, with therapists, medication, exposure therapy. Even Audrey's thoughts were really realistic.I didn't rate it higher ...

I flew through this book in one sitting. I woke up early on Saturday before work since my sleep scheduled was all messed up for the weekend. I had just finished the audio book of Torch Against the Night and was WRECKED. I need to get my mind off of it and relax, I needed happy and light. Feeling dep...

it was.... it was cute. I am not sure why but I expected more out of this book. It was supposed to be on the the topic of with social anxiety but it actually never dealt with the subject. It sort of only danced around the perimeters, sort of mentioned it here and there but only as a minor complica...

Honestly, I think I’ve needed a book like this for a while. I still have a warm feeling in my heart! Oh my god, this was so funny. I don’t usually laugh out loud when I read books. Sure I smile and shake my head but really laughing out loud? Note for future readers: don’t listen to this as an audiob...

This was one of those books that I liked so much I read it straight through in one day. It's the story of a young girl with extreme social anxiety, the result of bullying, and her journey back into herself. Audrey wears dark glasses to avoid eye contact, even with her family, and doesn't venture out...

Finding Audrey is the perfect example of how prejudice works: Sophie Kinsella is mostly known for her Shopaholic series of chick-lit novels which by their description alone appeal to me just as much as root canal treatment. So, to persuade me to take a chance on this book, it has taken several great...

I absolutely loved this book with its accurate and sympathetic portrayal of a young girl with an anxiety disorder. I’d never read a Sophie Kinsella before, but I know that this was quite a departure from her usual formula and her first foray into young adult literature. This is considered one of her...

Wow. I can say that I am 100 hundred percent pleasantly surprised by this book. When I started it the other day part of me wondered in the back of my head could Sophie Kinsella write a realistic young adult book. I have read all of the Shopaholic books and her standalone books as well. For me though...

I will say I would have given this 5 stars had I known the secret. I mean it's the terrible awful no one wants to talk about but I wanted someone to talk about it! Audrey has turned into a recluse from this event, her mother becomes an overly paranoid parent & yet nobody wants to give away the secre...
