Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall

5.0

This book might be one of my favorites honestly. I love books that cover mental health in such a real way. Books like girl in pieces and turtles all the way down have my heart. As a teenage girl that has struggled with her mental illnesses for so long this book was not triggering or scary, but instead relatable and loveable. The author does a wonderful job at expressing the trials and tribulations of mental illnesses, showcasing how severe they can be and how it affects one’s life. Norah’s journey with agoraphobia and OCD is eye opening, it’s so brutal and real. Luke quickly has become one of my favorite book boyfriends with how kind and caring he is, but most importantly patient with Norah. I fell in love with how genuine he is with Norah, he’s not just a “pretty face book bf” but he clearly really cares. I find their relationship adorable, and relatable. I relate to many of the struggles Norah faces through out this book and I’d highly recommend and encourage everyone reading this novel.
