Commentary Concering Books Under Rose-Tainted Skies
At seventeen, Norah has accepted that the four walls of her house delineate her life. 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. So she stays safe inside, watching others’ lives through her windows and social media feed. But when Luke arrives on her doorstep, he doesn’t see a girl defined by medical terms and mental health. Instead, he sees a girl who is funny, smart, and brave. And Norah likes what he sees. Their friendship turns deeper, but Norah knows Luke deserves a normal girl. One who can walk beneath the open sky. One who is unafraid of kissing. One who isn’t so screwed up. Can she let him go for his own good—or can Norah learn to see herself through Luke’s eyes?

WrensReads Review:Overall, I really liked this story. I thought it was more realistic than other mental-illness based books that I have read.Like:001. That Norah, our main girl, knows that she is being irrational but also knows she has to do it that way or the world will implode.. irrationally. 002. She calls herself crazy because, again, she knows that what she is doing is not necessary but at the same time it is necessary and she has to do it. Mental illness is weird. 003. Luke, our main dude,How can I expect people to empathise with a sickness they can't see?""You don't expect anything. You talk, you teach.
Where do I even start?I bet many of you will like this book. Is has that type of snarky, sarcastic main character who feels real and as if she were telling us her story while simultaneously living it. Shes vulnerable and shes strong. Shes funny and shes morbid. Shes real.But shes very sarcastic and says things that leave a bad taste in my mouth, such as: Its possible Ive ingested enough of my own fingers to call myself a cannibal.*shudders*Furthermore, I found the idea of exploring the theme of
See, anxiety doesnt just stop. You can have nice moments, minutes where it shrinks, but it doesnt leave. It lurks in the background like a shadow, like that important assignment you have to do but keep putting off or the dull ache that follows a three-day migraine. The best you can hope for is to contain it, make it as small as possible so it stops being intrusive.Am I coping? Yes, but its taking a monumental amount of effort to keep the dynamite inside my stomach from exploding. (rtc)☁ buddy
So Under Rose-tainted Skies is the most beautiful,yet unflinching, depiction of Agoraphobia I've ever read. Uncompromising in its truth. Also astounded at how Louise makes a book set entirely in one house so compelling.
This was so well written and such an overall just beautiful story. You could really feel the authenticity as while this is fictional, the author herself has struggled with agoraphobia, OCD, anxiety, and self harm. However I will say I was not thrilled by the ending as I found it to be a bit rushed and too unexpected.
Read this review and others on my blog! I read pretty much exclusively fiction, but even so, a good majority of the books I read are for research purposes, with the aim of informing and improving my writing. I might pick up a book that I think would be a good comp title, reread a book to study an author's voice or methods for conjuring a specific mood, or even read a new release just to stay in touch with current literary trends. All this is why I basically abandoned reading fantasy last yearI
