Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella

Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella is about a 14 year old girl named Audrey, who wears her dark glasses all the time. Audrey is dealing with some major mental health struggles. That is, until she meets Linus, her brothers friend. With his help, Audrey begins making major progress in her recovery.

I loved that this book brought up some important mental health topics. However, it is incredibly unhealthy to portray to impressionable teens (target audience) that their mental health issues can be resolved if only you can find a cute, understanding boy to help you through it. The only reason I continued to read it was to find out what actually happened to Audrey which resulted in her “illness”.. All that’s to say – I was pretty disappointed.
