    4.5 stars!

    "Life is all about climbing up, slipping down, and picking yourself up again. And it doesn't matter if you slip down. As long as you're kind of heading more or less upwards. That's all you can hope for."

    I loved this book! And I was so happy to get back into the world of Sophie Kinsella. When I first began this, I was wary that her sense of humour wouldn't be able to translate into a YA novel with a teenage character, but I was wrong. This was just as funny as some of her adult novels, and for that I am really pleased.

    Audrey was a great character, and I found her struggles with anxiety believable and real. I don't personally think her symptoms would class as severe, but at the same time, everybody can feel and experience differently.

    I loved how this novel was also centred around family; parents and siblings and the bonds and fights they all share. Her parents were hilarious, and the relationship she shared with her brother Frank reminded me a lot of myself and my brother. And Felix was too cute!

    I found the romance between Audrey and Linus cute and sweet, and exactly as a teenage romance should be. However I did see it as a tad insta-lovey, but it was still very cute. I think is a theme with YA novels - especially when the characters are younger. I don't think a 14 year old really knows what it is to be in love, truly and wholly, and a few years later will experience something even better. But it was still cute, and that's a minor personal issue.

    A few reviews have stated that her anxiety was "cured" too quickly, and whilst I agree she made a large amount of progress in a short period of time, she also then relapsed again. Like a jagged graph, which I feel is much more realistic.

    I wish we had found out what really happened at school to cause her to spiral into her current mental state, however I guess the author didn't feel it was entirely necessary to the story.

    Overall I really enjoyed this book, and I would rate it about a 4.5 stars!

    I love Sophie Kinsella's books...even if there is a whole feminist battle raging. I bought this after reading about it on a friend's blog because I thought that it would make perfect reading for a holiday.

    You have to remember that it is a YA book - I read it completely in one sitting and found it very easy to read. It is hard to review without giving away the plot, I can emphasise how much of an easy read it is. It is pleasant and light hearted, despite something terrible having happened to Audrey.

    It isn't in Kinsella's usual style and perhaps I should have expected it to be so basic being a YA book.
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2016
    When I heard that Sophie was doing a YA book, I knew I had to read it right away. I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy to review. I have loved Sophie books, since I read The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic when I was 15 and when I found out this book was about a girl with anxiety I knew I could relate to this book.

    Audrey is battling with and anxiety disorder after it was alluded that she was bullied in school. Audrey is kind, hopeful and sweet. She doesn’t like to make eye contact with anyone, even her own family. I loved her family, they’re definitely different from any other family I have read in books before.

    This book documents the recovery process of a teenage girl bullied enough to develop mental health problems (not a teenage romance although she does fall for her brother’s friend Linus and it’s adorable) it’s more about family and how they grow out of the hardships. That recovery not being only for Audrey but for her family as well. We all have set backs, which I know all too well. It’s about getting back up again and being brave to take the next step.

    Extreme case of social anxiety disorder, for those of you who understand this , you will sympathize with our young narrative. I know I did, I’ve been suffering from anxiety, depression for the last 10 years. I could relate to Audrey’s social anxiety (being around people I don’t know, answering the door and phone, even leaving the house and feeling like everyone is staring at you.) I get it when she feels like she’s never going to get better, I have had those very same feelings.

    I love Sophie’s books, have never been disappointed with any of her books, and I wasn’t with this one. It made me smile, laugh and I teared up a few times as well. I simply loved and adored this book. I though Sophie was brave to take on the topic of mental health, for her first YA novel. But it was well researched and beautifully written. I hope everyone else falls in love with this book like I did.

    I hope to see more YA from Sophie in the future.

  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2016
    Received this in the post this morning and right from the first line I was hooked. I had not been able to put it down until I finished it. It's a true love story but not just between lovers but also the love of family. It shows positive thinking is the way forward and that life has its ups and downs no matter who you are and that with love you can get through them.

    I love that the main area in the book is not lost and that it can effect anyone and just because it's not always visible does not mean that it is not there.

    Fantastic book definitely worth the read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars They talk about "body language", as if we all speak it the same.
    Reviewed in Germany on 27 August 2015
    'Finding Audrey' von Sophie Kinsella war eines meiner Buch-Highlights in diesem bisherigen Jahr und seither hab ich es vielen meiner Freunde empfohlen und an einem Geburtstag sogar verschenkt, da ich denke, dass es tatsächlich für jeden etwas ist.

    Finding Audrey beschäftigt sich mit Mobbing, Anxiety - wie jemandes mentaler Zustand einen selbst und seine Familie einschränken kann. Es geht darum das Audrey und ihre Familie versuchen mit ihrem Zustand umzugehen und sie zu unterstützen und gemeinsam zu heilen und besser zu werden, während sie auch mit ganz alltäglichen Dingen zu kämpfen haben.

    Und nach diesem Motto fühlt man auf der einen Seite mit Audrey mit, man spürt ihr Leiden und ihre Angst, aber auf der nächsten Seite lacht man auch schon wieder laut los und so lange, bis einem schon fast die Tränen kommen.

    Finding Audrey war witzig und charmant, mit chaotischen aber lebensechten Figuren, aber auch traurig, ernst und hat einen nachdenken lassen. Man hat vielleicht sogar etwas in Audrey in einem selbst entdeckt.

    Das Buch war leicht und schnell zu lesen, ohne das jegliche Langweile aufkam. Da Audrey aufgrund einer Therapieübung auch mit einer Kamera ihre Umgebung und Familie filmt, bestehen manche Seiten auch aus Transkripten von diesem Videomaterial, welches das ganze nochmal auflockert und interessant zu lesen macht.

    Sophie Kinsellas humorvolle und dennoch sehr herznahe Geschichten sind nichts Neues für mich, aber Finding Audrey ist kurz vor Twenties Girl nun mein Favorit von ihr. Ich würde es jedem, der alle Gefühle in einem Buch fühlen will, empfehlen und am Besten raten, hineinzutauchen ohne groß zu wissen worum es geht.

    BOOK: FINDING AUDREY
    AUTHOR: SOPHIE KINSELLA
    GENRE: FICTION.
    RATING: 4.3/5
    😎😎
    WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
    The story is about a girl named Audrey who is suffering from a mental illness due to some incident in her school. She stays at home every time hiding in her home, wearing black glasses to avoid eye contact and avoiding strangers.
    Slowly with the help of her family, friends, and psychiatrist, she starts to recover and lead a normal life.
    😎😎
    WHO CAN READ?
    This is such a nice read that anyone willing to read something light and not intense can certainly go for it. From teens to people of any age, I am sure everyone would enjoy it.
    😎😎
    WHAT IS THE BEST PART?
    It is a light-hearted read that deals with a topic like mental illness so nicely and respectfully that I was truly overwhelmed. The characters were so natural and realistic was easily able to imagine the sequences in front of my eyes. A very addictive novel with entertaining characters and sweet romance.
    😎😎
    FINAL VERDICT.
    I enjoyed the overall message, that anxiety and depression cannot be footed in a day. It takes time and hard work and often one step forward results in steps backward.
    Great read, go for it.
