When I heard that Under Rose Tainted Skies was a book that didn’t follow this annoying trope, I knew that I had to read it. No matter how strong love is, it can never cure mental illnesses and for authors to constantly utilize this trope is frustrating and so problematic. One of my biggest pet peeves is romance novels that feature a mentally ill Mc who gets better after she falls in love. 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. Goodreads Summary:At seventeen, Norah has accepted that the four walls of her house delineate her life.
