jiselle_ 's review for:
Under Rose-Tainted Skies
by Louise Gornall
i enjoyed reading this book a lot! it's just unfortunate that i read it during a slump that i fell into because of my own mental health issues.
i really felt as though louise gornall's depiction of agoraphobia spoke to my own anxiety. i was able to relate to norah in what she felt and (to some extent) what she was going through. i really liked how her illness didn't define her as a character— but it was still a part of her. a large part of her. i also loved how patient luke was, and how he wanted to understand that part of her rather than just feeling sorry for her or trying to change or fix her.
under rose-tainted skies was realistic because norah's romance didn't just magically heal her mental illness— that just doesn't happen in real life. but instead, it just showed her taking baby steps on her way to recovery. so realistic and so important.
