“Bittersweet” is the best word I can use to describe Finding Audrey. The story is about a fourteen-year-old girl whose life is disrupted by an anxiety disorder. What I like so much about this book is that it’s not depressing. The story brings to light a serious problem with a lot of levity and charm. I can really empathize with Audrey during her trip back to sanity after being bullied out of school. I laughed a lot, teared up a little, and smiled as Audrey is set on a new path, thanks in part to a pretty sweet romantic…

From Theresa's list on that make me LOL.

Anxiety can be paralyzing. Like make getting out of bed and stepping out into the world seem like the most terrifying thing in the world. Kinsella captures that debilitating fear perfectly through Audrey’s eyes. She also discusses the psychology behind it and the benefits of having a well-educated therapist. Kinsella doesn’t skirt around the awful truth. Instead, she pulls us right into it in such a raw and refreshing way, which I absolutely admire.
