Finding Audrey

Product Information

But as in any case, we have a choice and when our choices are steered by how they will affect the people we love, we’re usually guaranteed to choose for the better. Instead, Linus offers his friendship and supports Audrey but he certainly doesn’t solve all her problems. Ollie sometimes plays Land of Conquerors online with Frank if Frank’s in a kind mood and doesn’t have anyone else to play with.

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. In Finding Audrey, Sophie Kinsella chose to take route b and for me personally this worked very well.Because in an MMO RPG, everyone's experience is their own, and you can play the game however you want. With his friendly, orange-slice smile and his funny notes, he starts to entice Audrey out again – well, Starbucks is a start. The first reason is that I really hoped Kinsella's humor will translate through such a young protagonist (and oh boy, did it ever! His enthusiasm is so infectious I grin madly back and we sort of do a mini-dance, arms waving up and down. Audrey's family is hilarious and every character was so well-written and real; I adored them all even though everyone had their own quirks!

I feel anxious about a lot of other things too, like making sure I'm as good as my male friends so I don't fall behind. While Audrey was the MC, the book focused not just on her, but on her family and their ups and downs together as well. Sophie Kinsella has sold over 40 million copies of her books in more than 60 countries, and she has been translated into over 40 languages. It affects all of your interpersonal relationships and makes daily tasks like making eye contact, eating in front of others, or leaving the house almost impossible. I think her recovery was too quick-- and the pace of this book just went too fast in general; there was a very unrealistic jump from "omg don't enter the same room as me" to "omg let's make out.I hope that anyone suffering from anxiety, bullying, or even just teenage woes can take heart from her. And yes, I know hate is a strong word and I shouldn’t waste my energy on hating a book when that energy could go to reading books that I will end up loving but this book hurt me. I mean, I'm sure there are parents out there that are like this, but to the extent where I found myself questioning how exaggerated these stereotypes were was ridiculous. I found it didn't really get going for a while and that sometimes the focus was more so on the brother than on Audrey.
