![]() ![]() Audrey's mother is more of the main character than Audrey herself, and the unfunny plot is more about Audrey's parents dealing with her brother than with Audrey. You'll like yourself again and you'll be happy, and your anxiety attacks will magically disappear! However, the book isn't written for young adults. ![]() ![]() If the audience is the young adult crowd, then Kinsella is sending younger girls the message that boys can fix anything! Just find a boyfriend and you'll be cured. As someone who has actually dealt with anxiety and depression, I found this book ridiculous and repugnant. AND if you want to believe that mental illness can be cured by finding a cute boyfriend, then again, this is the book for you. So, if you want to listen to a shrewish mother screaming at her sullen teenage son about how he plays too many video games, then this is the book for you. The first half doesn't even deal with the title character. I love Sophie Kinsella books, but this book is neither funny nor well-written. ![]() I can only guess that some of the lower reviews were suppressed and not posted. I do not know why this was rated so high. ![]()
