Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall

3.0

Seems like mental illness is the new hot subject for Young Adult. Some books do it better than others In [book:Running Lean|16238084] we are given insight into the life of a teenager dealing with fitting in, body image and growing up. The author gave us an emotional story about eating disorders which had us feeling the pain of her family and friends who were helpless to get her to stop hurting herself. [book:Everything, Everything|18692431] the main character suffers from bubble boy disease( allergic to the world) In this novel Norah suffers from OCD, anixety and social disorders that make her a prisoner in her home. I try not to compare books but with these two novels it felt like the publishers gave them a list of subject matter and they both pick the same concept. Once again the mother is faded to the background, a boy arrives and where medical intervention failed gets the girl back in the real world.
