Finding Audrey shows the good and bad sides to Mental illness and the ignorance and stigma still surrounding it. Is it to much to ask people to educate themselves on subjects before they form an opinion and put people down with it? I think not. 
 I felt the portrayal of depression was honest in some aspects but Audrey's Agoraphobia and the ending really bugged me. 
 "The trouble is, depression doesn't come with handy symptoms like spots and a temperature, so you don't realize it at first. You keep saying "I'm fine" to people when you're not fine. You think you SHOULD be fine. You keep saying to yourself: "Why aren't I fine?" 
 Some of the lines were really great and quotable, I was enjoying this story at the beginning 
 "Sometimes I hope I'm building up a stockpile of missing laughs, and when I've recovered, they'll all come exploding out in one gigantic fit that lasts twenty-four hours." 
 The relationship aspect in Finding Audrey wasn't a big deal for me and I would have loved this story without it, Linus is cute and all but I seriously disliked how much he pushed her and made her "get out of her comfort zone" no, don't do that please and thank you. 
 My favorite scenes were the appointments with Dr. Sarah and the Film Documentary! I loved how she could open up with her Doctor and they had an amazing relationship. I loved when Audrey was herself, when she was talking about her family, I can't think of one instance where I loved that she was with Linus. 
 "But, Audrey, that's what life is. We're all on a jagged graph. I know I am. Up a bit, down a bit. That's life." 
 Also her commentating on what was happening around the house and filming insignificant things was really funny. 
 On the downside this book had a magical kiss that cures everything, no sorry that's not how things work please stop "curing" mental illness with a just get up and do it attitude, girls like Audrey don't need a push from a boy, they have their family, therapist and themselves NO BOYS NEEDED.
