Finding Audrey is a candid yet warm look at hectic family life through the eyes of a teenager dealing with a mental illness.

Her trademark humour is brilliantly interspersed throughout the pages whilst maintaining respect for the main topic - this is principally due to the fact that it is Audrey's family who are the wonderful source of humour. Kinsella has achieved a great balance in Finding Audrey. I utterly fell in love with Audrey and her entire family such a wonderfully warm, funny heartwrenching and wise read Jenny Colgan, bestselling author I think this could be a book that all teens should read to give them a better understanding of people who live with mental illness. This is a great book which tackles a difficult subject in a light-hearted,positive and sensitive way. Kinsella’s knack for humor and sensitivity shine in a story that should easily expand her already substantial fan base. I can only hope Kinsella writes more for the YA genre. It's fun, it's quick, it's cute, but it also focuses on deeper topics with maturity and responsibility. This is an amazing book and I can't recommend it enough. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a book that will make you laugh (and possibly cry), and leaves you triumphant at its finish.

I hope Kinsella continues to write for young adults, because we sure do need more books like this on the shelves! Heart Full of Books Blog (US)Ī very enjoyable, uplifting read, with the perfect combination of friendship, anguish, romance and humour in addition to the determined attitude Audrey takes when facing her illness. Seriously amazing, and amazingly serious, Finding Audrey stands out amongst other books in the YA genre for being realistic, which is my highest praise. An outstanding tragicomedy that gently explores mental illness, the lasting effects of bullying, and the power of friends and loving family to help in the healing Kirkus
