But Kinsella has definitely brought her wonderful sense of humor with the characters and the way they interact.

Now what I thought this was going to be was a marriage between the two, because the subjects were so involved and set up in the beginning of the novel.Unfortunately many people aren't aware of the actual clinical term and brush it off as a personality defect. I just hope that someone who's on medications while reading this book won't find the courage to do the same thing because Audrey did it. However, I think of it also as a book for anyone who has suffered from anxiety or bullying, played computer games, had a child who plays too many computer games . Overall, I'm very pleased I read this book because of the mental health rep, but I can't find any other notable elements of praise. This was lovely and heartwarming story of a young girl overcoming extreme bullying and the debilitating social anxiety that followed.

I found it didn't really get going for a while and that sometimes the focus was more so on the brother than on Audrey. I had some bad episodes, yes, and I had some minor setbacks, but I wasn't going to let that stop me. I wish we had found out what really happened at school to cause her to spiral into her current mental state, however I guess the author didn't feel it was entirely necessary to the story. I developed a fear of cameras, airplanes, social media, spiders, germs, the ocean, people - you name a fear, and chances are, I probably had it. Audrey's Dad reluctantly tries to enforce the rules his wife establishes, but he really just wants to keep the peace and watch Downton Abbey.She tilts the computer more precariously on the window ledge and we all gasp, including the watching neighbours. I really applaud and admire Kinsella for picking such an important topic and simplifying it and relating it to young teens. It was a quick, easy read, perfect to read in one sitting for those who actually can read the book in one sitting. Audrey is a brave, charming and resourceful girl and I hope she will inspire you as much as she has inspired me.
