This was such a good book! I had been in a reading slump for quite a while and I began reading this and *poof* the slump was gone.
In Under Rose-Tainted Skies we meet Norah who has agoraphobia, she don't really leave her house and she doesn't really talk to people besides her mom and therapist - then they get new neighbours. Norah grows because of her new neighbour Luke, their friendship will make your cheeks hurt from smiling and you will not be able to put their story down. I loved getting to know Norah and Luke and I loved hearing Norah's story.

In some ways it reminds me of Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon - but this is so much better! This is realistic and I prefer Luke and Norah to the characters in Everything, Everything.

A story I still look back on with a smile, because it was just that good.

Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall was truly a wonderful, powerful, and thought provoking book. I received this ARC book from Net Galley for an honest review. I could not put this book down. Norah is a teenager who is fighting agoraphobia and OCD. We see a true sense of what it is like for someone who fighting a mental illness, how Norah's mind works, and how she fights every day. To be teenager is tough enough, but combine with agoraphobia and OCD is a tougher battle. Thru a mother's unconditional love, Dr.Sullivan her therapist, who helped chose the best therapy that is suited Norah, and even thu she wants to give up, she keeps on fighting. Then enter Luke, her new neighbor, and wants to get to know his 'quirky', akward girl next door. As Norah fights not to give up, against her 'bad' self telling her not to get to know Luke, he is just as persistent and more understanding than she thinks. Under Rose-Tainted Skies is a book that truly surprised me. I truly felt as if I was there beside Norah, cheering her on, telling her that she can over come, that she needs to keep fighting, and it is okay to be different.
