FINDING AUDREY
INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR SOPHIE KINSELLA’S DEBUT YA NOVEL
Praise for FINDING AUDREY
A New York Times Bestseller
“The Shopaholic scribe accurately weaves teenage insecurities with humor
in her heartwarming YA debut.”—US Weekly
“Your kids will love it.” —Redbook
Audrey spends most of her days hiding behind her dark sunglasses and in the safety of her own home, surrounded by her lovable but chaotic family. Interaction with non–family members has been
almost impossible to master since the incident at school. But then one day Linus arrives at her house. A friend of her brother’s, Linus makes an instant connection with Audrey and starts to chip away at her exterior, exposing the girl underneath—the girl Audrey herself has been searching for. What results is a tender love story that begins as a friendship and continues in the local Starbucks, where Audrey begins to heal the wounds that have threatened to hold her captive.
Filled with poignancy and laugh-out- loud moments, FINDING AUDREY gives readers a character they can relate to and a family to embrace. Kinsella’s story tackles serious topics with humor and heart and creates the next YA couple to root for in Audrey and Linus.

thanks for posting today. I have read exciting reviews of this book and of this author's other books. I will have to start reading her work.
ReplyDeleteI've read high praise of this one. I was tempted to get on Overdrive's hold list for my library, but it is a mile long. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by this author yet, but this book sounds spectacular! I can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers China Travel Guide
ReplyDeleteI’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
