Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall
5.0

Incredible- 4.5 rounded up to 5. The writing was beautiful. So clever and thoughtful.

Norah is the most relatable character I have ever read about in my entire life. While my problems are a fraction of the severity of hers, I saw myself in her through every page.

I was so afraid this book would have the disgusting ‘all my issues can be fixed by a boy’ ending but I was shocked at how creative and brilliant the plot was.

Without spoilers, the reason I gave 4.5 stars was because of one specific part which is the main plot point in the book. I felt as though this part definitely should have been longer and more explained. I would have liked to see more of the aftermath of the situation.

Other than that, absolutely fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone, though be aware it may be triggering for people with similar mental health issues.
