Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella
3.0
2.75
Heart-warming, funny and enjoyable however did have some issues: We are never told what happened, told that it was bullying but didn't go into it which was annoying because it makes the reader feel out of the loop so that I couldn't find myself feeling for her and that whole starbucks meeting-why? If you're not going to tell us what happened to her then how can we be impacted by this meeting?Another was that Audrey went from rock bottom to recovery too quickly and the romance-lacking.
The book feels half caked to me-its middle grade writing with ya quotes, romance started out great with all the note passing and touching in the dark but then went downhill when insta-love and a speedy recovery kicked in, told a bare minimum of what caused the character's suffering and the whole Audrey goes missing was anticlimatic.
