Finding Audrey

I'm still not quite sure what I think of this book. It's an easy enough read - I finished it in a day (mostly in one sitting.) I think this is Kinsella's first attempt at YA, and all in all it was a successful one. I don't read her books for serious literary merit, so I wasn't exactly expecting too much from this.
I felt that I related on some level to Audrey. But at the same time, I kept feeling like the story was leading up to something that just...kind of fell short of it. The ending wasn't terribly much, but at the same time, I liked that it didn't end with any sort of bang. I also wished they would have said what the "incident" was, but then again, the perspective it's told from, the reason it's never fully explained makes sense.
I do like that the book didn't make it seem like Audrey got better because a boy came into her life. He didn't force her to get better, but merely helped. I think that's why I liked the ending. It didn't revolve around her relationship with Linus (great name by the way), but instead, it focused the improvements with her family and herself.
And even as she got better, she was still weird. But in a good way.
So yes, I guess I can say overall that I enjoyed the book.
