Sophie Kinsella always makes me happy. She just knows how to craft a story filled with a myriad of quirky and interesting characters, and also, create a story that is both amusing and heartfelt.

Social anxiety and depression are things I am acquainted with first hand, and I really appreciated the way Kinsella handled Audrey's issues. Kinsella showed that Audrey's issues were real, she could recover, but the recovery would not happen overnight. She also gently conveyed the effects on the rest of the family. It was sort of honest.

Audrey's family was hilarious. They were nutty and quirky, as well as, loving and caring. But the best part for me was Linus and Audrey. The effort Linus made was beautiful, and the interactions between him and Audrey were adorable.

Solid editor to Kinsella's body of work.
