Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall
4.0

This book broke my heart.

Not in an ‘it’s devastating and everyone dies’ kind of way, but because it felt so real. I felt like Norah was a friend of mine, and it broke my heart to read about her struggling with her agoraphobia and OCD.

One of the things I loved the most was the fact that Luke doesn’t fix Norah. It’s never even suggested that he can. I think that is incredibly important. I am one of those people who whole-heartedly believes you should never rely on a single person to fix all your problems. Unless it’s like your healthcare professional, but even then. The point is, a romantic relationship isn’t going to suddenly cure you of everything—maybe it’ll help, maybe it won’t but it’s not the be and end all. I think the book did a really good job of showing that.
