My Thoughts

Because I suffer from mental illness, particularly anxiety and depression, I really connected with Audrey. I also connected with her in terms of her issues with school and being bullied. I kind of felt like her story was my story. I really liked the sense of hope without the finality this story had. So often books focusing on issues “cure” their characters by the end. If Audrey were real, she’d probably deal with anxiety for the rest of her life. But, with the help of counseling, medication, and her support system, she’d be able to cope and live a good life. I love that FINDING AUDREY showed that instead of curing her.
