She has experienced bullying, and as a result has become virtually a prisoner in her own home. Audrey is a teenage girl suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder. I have now taken a new direction with my first Young Adult book, Finding Audrey, which I am excited to introduce to you. To my delight, millions of readers across the globe have enjoyed the tales of my debt-ridden heroine, Becky Brandon. ~ Andrea ReeceĪs the author of the Shopaholic series, I have always tried to write about contemporary issues that readers will relate to. Audrey’s tentative relationship with her brother’s friend Linus makes for a very sweet romance, while the story gives full weight to the pressures she’s facing.

With real understanding and a light touch, the book describes her efforts to cope. She suffers from an anxiety disorder which means any contact with other people, even looking them in the eye, is very difficult.

Audrey has problems though which make her life different to most teens. It’s sharply observed comedy, and very funny. There’s her Daily Mail reading mum, computer game addicted big brother, and well-meaning dad trying, and generally failing, to say the right thing.
