Reviewed by Jessie Park
Finding Audrey focuses on fourteen year old Audrey Turner who is trying to deal with her anxiety disorders and bouts of depression after an incident happens at her old school. She finds comfort behind her dark sunglasses and tends to stay in her house where she doesn't have to interact with people. Readers are therefore privy to her interactions with her dysfunctional, yet hilarious, family. Things start to change, however, when Audrey meets Linus, one of her brother's online gaming buddies. Author Kinsella manages to take a more humorous and hopeful approach to mental illness in her YA debut. Readers are not only drawn into Audrey's situation but they can't help becoming invested in the other characters as well.
