Sophie’s latest novel, Surprise Me, published in February 2018, presents a humorous yet moving portrait of a marriage—its intricacies, comforts, and complications. Surprise Me reveals that hidden layers in a close relationship are often yet to be discovered. You have no idea what Linus is thinking. It could be good, it could be bad. Most likely, it's nothing at all. He's a boy. You'd better get used to that.” Audrey’s life is pretty contained within her household; she rarely sees anyone outside of her family or her therapist. She has developed a defense mechanism that forces her to push people away, and her fight or flight mentality makes it difficult to form new relationships. Therefore, when she discovers her own growing attraction to her brother’s friend Linus after he accidentally enters her room, she is unsure how to proceed. She soon learns that the feeling is mutual, and Linus becomes a great source of support. He seems to truly care and want to help Audrey; he displays endless patience as she works to develop trust in him. To recall, Sarah sends you to the Eye Star Station to meet with Vladimir Sall about finding more Artifacts. Into the Unknown has these Artifacts on Piazzi IV-C and Niira. Vladimir asks you to find out if Andreja is fine, so it automatically ties into our objective. Keep on reading to find out the exact steps on where to find her.

It's not a secret that I love family dynamics when they're done well. SPOILER ALERT : They are. Every member of the family is flawed but so endearing and supportive, I spent such a great time following them. Searching the online platform at the General Register Office (GRO) of Wales allows you access to death records between 1837 to 1957 and 1984 to 2019 for free (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/birth-marriage-death-england-and-wales/). Other online platforms provide information related to the deceased’s full name, date, and place of death, but with no details about parents or spouses. Northern Ireland Death Records So this scenario would be a PERFECT place for Audrey's anxiety because it would show that yes it's a real thing with real symptoms BUT, RPGs are a good place to lessen it. Because in an MMO RPG, everyone's experience is their own, and you can play the game however you want. Here's how ingame-Audrey would've progressed throughout the book:

What's it like to grow up online and have every tantrum, every spot - even your first period - broadcast to hundreds of thousands of followers? But it was hilarious, it was messy, the parents were irritating beyond belief but I adored them. The social anxiety rep was okay. I did want more focus on it, but I appreciated that we also got to see Audrey in her own messy element, with her family and challenging her social anxiety.

From the bestselling author of the Shopaholic series comes a story of humour, heart and heartache. Finding Audrey is Sophie Kinsella’s first novel for teens, sure to appeal to her legions of adult and young adult fans all over the world. I've gone up a level. That's the only way I can describe it. (...) Yes, I've had one bad episode, but I didn't sink quite as low. Things weren't quite as dark."

Not sure where to start?

Sophie Kinsella's] compassionate, insightful take on what it's like to live with anxiety is an eye-opener, but her trademark lightness of touch and gentle humour make it hugely entertaining too The Lady A youth yanked out of the only life he’s known to live on the other side of the Atlantic with a grandmother he’s never seen before… Let's have a little brainstorming okay? (God. I hate that word. My fellow French use it all the freaking time for no reason. Hello, remue-méninges, you people) The winners of The Farshore Reading for Pleasure Teacher Awards 2023, highlighting the work schools are doing to encourage a love of reading, have...

More than anything, it’s the perfect picture of a regular mess of a family (complete with a 14 year old queen of overreaction who always wears a pair of dark glasses, a computer game 15 year old addict but a real genius called Frank, the cutest, fluffy four year old boy Felix, a loud, overly involved, hyper mom and a handsome but comic dad who always agrees with the hyper mom) that I loved the most about the novel. Stereotypes much? Maybe, but they don’t make the story less true! I liked the romance - I don't feel it is anything special, but I was happy to see a supportive love interest that helps the main character in their recovery, yet isn't attributed to as the sole reason they begin to get better. Linus was probably my second favorite character for that reason. I also liked Audrey's brother, Frank, but I don't feel he had a huge contribution to the story. I struggled very hard with Audrey's mother; She is the type of helicopter parent that believes they are doing what is best for their child while simultaneously harming them, and while this is absolutely a real parental role that many teens have to live with, she made the majority of the book extremely unbearable. I don't feel we had enough development on Audrey's father for me to have strong feelings, and apart from being the cute younger brother who acts as comic relief, Felix also isn't a memorable character for me.Instead we got one dimensional stereotyped characters, a manic pixie dream boy who changes the girl, jokes that missed their mark SO BAD that it would make you look away, prose that was blatantly written "for YA" (which never works), anxiety being "fixed" by bullshit external ways, an "incident" that was never explained (whether this was because Kinsella didn't actually know herself, was unclear), and a story with no core. Oh, and - the dialogues are fantastic and feel real. Hilarious. I know, I have to stop using that word. Someday (not when I talk about Kinsella) Finding Audrey is about a girl who is so crippled by her anxiety that she can’t leave her house. She hasn’t been to school in months because of extenuating circumstances, hasn’t talked to any of her classmates or friends, can’t even look her family members in the eye… until she meets her brother’s friend, Linus and then she magically gets better…. Or something. Now what I thought this was going to be was a marriage between the two, because the subjects were so involved and set up in the beginning of the novel. I thought Audrey was going to be inevitably dragged into this gaming scenario, which would've been very easy for Kinsella to do. I mean it worked with her anxiety. She wouldn't be getting out of the house and she wouldn't have to take her glasses off. She wouldn't even have to do anything besides play. So I think a storyline where frank needed another gaming teammate would've been easy to integrate. Begin by heading out to the Eye Station to speak to Vladimir. It’s in the “Alpha Centauri” system, so you will find it in your immediate vicinity. If you’re having trouble, learn how to fast travel in Starfield first.

Okay, first : I love Kinsella's works (thought it was important to say write). Now, her books are the first ones I read in English, so, you know, I might need to reread them some day (I mean duh. I'm not a language snowflake). Anyway : Kinsella? She gets my humor. I mean not me me, but you get it right? Her books make me laugh. They're refreshing. Like candies. Okay, maybe not like candies - Well, let's say that they put me in the Kinsella bubble. Audrey's mother is a neurotic Daily Mail fan who constantly tries to improve her family's lifestyle after reading articles like "The Eight Signs Your Child is Addicted to Computer Games". She's comical, infuriating, but still lovable. Audrey's Dad reluctantly tries to enforce the rules his wife establishes, but he really just wants to keep the peace and watch Downton Abbey. Audrey's older brother Frank is obsessed with a game called LOC (similar to World of Warcraft) and this causes many hilarious arguments with his mum. And then there's Audrey. She's not talking to me. She's talking to the Imaginary Daily Mail Judge, who constantly watches her life and gives it marks out of ten.” Searching for a death certificate in Scotland or Northern Ireland is slightly different. While it is still helpful to have the name and approximate date of death, rather than the location of the death you should try to discover the person’s religious denomination. The GRO for Northern Ireland only has death certificates since 1864; the GRO for Scotland since 1855. Again, it may prove easier to search the local parish records if you have a sense of where the death occurred.What I liked the most in this story were Audrey's parents. They were like a fresh scent in the air in the YA genre which is full of dysfunctional families. The contents of certificates vary from state to state and differ over time within each state. See ' What you might expect to see on an historical AUS BDM certificate' for a description. The storyline in this was really funny! Audrey’s mother was quite crazy about the possibility of Audrey’s brother Frank being addicted to video games, and went to ridiculous lengths to try and stop him from playing. I loved Audrey’s take on her mother’s addiction to The Daily Mail, and the way this book made me laugh!
