I know it’s me, my issue, my problem, which is why I decide I’m going to avoid him from here on out.A heartwarming young adult book written from the perspective of a teenage girl who is living with agoraphobia, anxiety, and OCD and uses self-harm to cope. I don’t like that scrutinizing has tripled in productivity since he moved in. “I don’t like this feeling of always messing up. I would recommend this to everyone as it is informative and entertaining at the same time.īook Quotes: Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall I loved the main character and her humour and the fact that her illness isn’t romanticized. Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall is a book about mental illness that is realistic. It is important to understand that romance doesn’t cure everything, and this book does a good job of demonstrating that. I believe this is the first time I’ve seen a character do research on another character’s illness in a book, and I found it so touching. He knows that he can’t just make Norah’s fears go away and doesn’t push her to do anything that is too difficult for her. Norah’s friend, Luke, is respectful and so sweet. One of my favourite things about Under Rose-Tainted Skies is the fact that it doesn’t romanticize mental illness. While I couldn’t relate to her, getting to know her character was really entertaining and interesting. Norah is actually pretty funny and has some witty lines throughout the book that are refreshing. She doesn’t ask for pity or complain a lot and tries her best to take small steps. I loved the way she doesn’t use the same old flat words to describe Norah’s feelings, but has a more three-dimensional approach that is difficult to explain, but is really satisfying. Louise Gornall really knows what she’s talking about and is able to provide the reader with what I assume are accurate descriptions. Although I do not have any of these conditions, I feel like I was able to grasp what it’s like to live when you can’t go outside because of the detailed internal monologues. This book tells the story of a girl named Norah who struggles with agoraphobia and OCD.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Can she let him go for his own good-or can Norah learn to see herself through Luke’s eyes? Their friendship turns deeper, but Norah knows Luke deserves a normal girl.

Instead, he sees a girl who is funny, smart, and brave. So she stays safe inside, watching others’ lives through her windows and social media feed.īut when Luke arrives on her doorstep, he doesn’t see a girl defined by medical terms and mental health. She knows that fearing everything from inland tsunamis to odd numbers is irrational, but her mind insists the world outside is too big, too dangerous. At seventeen, Norah has accepted that the four walls of her house delineate her life.
