It's moving past what happened that is most important. Au

Audrey doesn't go to school, wears dark glasses all the time, and rarely leaves her house. Unfortunately, Audrey's rapid recovery once she meets a cute guy rings a bit false, or at least, a too conveniently clichéd, but tweens and teens may enjoy the portrayal of the hasty romance.
