Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall
3.0

Although this book seemed more real with its portrayal of mental illness, I preferred All The Bright Places.
I couldn't understand why the book was set in California. There were a few anachronisms that should have been picked up by the American editor. But this just didn't feel like California and as real as the mental illness was portrayed, the whole book felt fake.
