No rush. I am doing a mental health awareness readathon so figured I would start here.

[Jamie]

Pg 104 (view spoiler)[My theory about mom needing help still stands. It is driving me crazy to have no clue where this behavior of hers stems from. Other than it involves some classmates and former best friend. The lack of trigger knowledge is making it a bit hard to fully connect with Audrey. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Pg 214 (view spoiler)[Glad to hear she is doing better. But I have a feeling a major attack is still on her horizon.... (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Done (view spoiler)[Bit vexed about how we never find out what happened to her. With that many references and confrontations directly about it I need something to go on! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah, I find her mom kind of creepy tbh. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I bet she's going to have a major attack real soon, with all the talk of being so happy. Plus, I'm certain dropping her meds like that is a terrible idea. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I know, right. In the last bit when she shows herself on the video I thought she'd say something about what happened, or what Tasha did, but nothing? Disappointing. (hide spoiler)]

[prag ♻]

I liked Kinsella's writing better when it was in an Adult book. Not the Shopaholic series, but her other singles were quite good. This, I didn't like so much.

[Adriana]

4% (view spoiler)[ This mom is a bit insane. But I kind of understand it. He must play a lot of hours of video games which isn't the greatest thing which I know from experience. (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

9% (view spoiler)[ I wonder why she specifically feels threatened by Linus. Linus is sure to be important later. (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

15% (view spoiler)[ I can guess what happened to her without her explaining it like the author wants the readers to be curious about what happened to her. (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

46% (view spoiler)[ I really like Dr. Sarah. She keeps it real. I'm sure Audrey is going to have a really bad meltdown soon (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

54% (view spoiler)[ I know Linus is a kid but you nust can't force her to be okay. She can't just be instantly cured. (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

86% (view spoiler)[ Good for Audrey. They deserve nothing. It does seem like they are putting a band aid on everything. Izzy seemed fake. (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

87% (view spoiler)[ Oh no! Is she going to overdose? (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

Done (view spoiler)[ I'm glad everything turned out well in the end. The stpry was alright though. Not as funny or good as I expected but I still liked it for what it was. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

13%: (view spoiler)[ Her mom is insane, but I think it is the reasonable amount of insane because he is spending too much time on video games. However, she should not believe everything that the Daily Mail tells her. Oh well. I wonder why she feels threatened by Linus. I feel bad for Audrey because she has these episodes and this diagnosis. Haha...Filming your parents must be and awkward thing. I love the parents' reaction to her with a camera. This is going to be really funny. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

37%: (view spoiler)[ I think her mother is going a bit overboard. Yes, he is helping his friend play a game, but that is not the same thing as him playing the game itself. So he should not get embarrassed by her in front of his friend. That's actually a bit too embarrassing. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

50%: (view spoiler)[ I really like Dr. Sarah. I'm sure Audrey is going to have a Serious breakdown soon with all the drama at home. Her parents really do not understand the life of a teenager. They think that a book would solve their problems. Their mom is actually pretty annoying with her constant babble. It is like she cannot take care of her own kids, and she thinks that books and Daily Mail will help her out with parenting. Wrong! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ I am glad that her parents finally came around and got Frank a new laptop. Also, I really liked how Audrey stood up for herself against Izzy. Izzy seemed fake to me. Also, This book was not as funny as I thought because I really thought her parents really did not understand their teenagers. The mom was kind of annoying. I give this read a 4/5. (hide spoiler)]

...And her mom's crazy. I'm so glad this book is short, because it seems crazy-mom will be a constant presence and I'm not sure I'll deal with that very well.

(view spoiler)["listen to a nice song instead."
Sweetheart, if I didn't hate abandoning books partially read, I would so rather listen to a song than read about you. Because so far, I'm not impressed. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

50% Done
(view spoiler)[Okay, here's what I like. I like Frank, especially when he makes really good points like "stop patronizing your teenager". I like when Audrey and Linus communicate. It's cute.
What I don't like? Everything else. Especially the mom, who I have the strongest urge to slap. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Finished
(view spoiler)[There were some parts that were funny, some that were cute and some with bordered on something deeper, but it just doesn't resolve anything. Audrey's just fine somehow and Frank and mon issue got solved... somehow. No proper resolution. (hide spoiler)]
