Under Rose-Tainted Skies - Tapa blanda

An authentic and moving depiction of mental health issues as well as a beautiful, inspiring story of first love, this young adult romance recognises that love and relationships come in all different shapes and sizes. (The Sun)

Honestly and gorgeously written, with a wonderful narrator. (Samantha Shannon, author of The Bone Season)

Honest and moving, this book doesn't pull any punches. It is both hopeful and realistic and paints a vivid picture of how crippling anxiety can be. Norah's voice is sympathetic rather than pathetic, layered with slowly revealed strength, and it will stay with you long after finishing. (The Scotsman)

Under Rose-Tainted Skies is an important book, there is no doubt about that. But it's also a beautiful one about being a teenager, first love, identity and, yes, mental health too. If there is one novel you pick up this year that covers an important subject not often found in young adult fiction, let it be this one. (Page to Stage reviews)

Under Rose-Tainted Skies is an incredibly special and important book that I'm sure I'll be raving about for the rest of the year. Unflinching, honest and quietly hopeful it's an absolute must read for anyone living with, or who is affected by, mental health (which means all of us, right?). (Jess Hearts Books)

I knew I was going to enjoy Louise Gornall's debut, but I didn't expect to love it as whole-heartedly as I did. Under Rose-Tainted Skies is my favourite contemporary YA read of the year so far. Hands down. (So Little Time for Books)

How can I put down in words how much I loved this book, how much it affected me on so many levels, how much I loved Norah and Luke ... Under Rose-Tainted Skies was a book I went into with no expectations, and came away with a book hangover, struggling to sit down and read for a few days after, and even now I'm still thinking of it. (Much Loved Books)

For me personally, this book is the most important YA novel on mental health I've ever read ... This book is wonderful and heartbreaking but it s also wonderfully uplifting and full of hope, and so much bravery ... It has had such a huge impact on me, and I'll never be able to thank Gornall enough. (Once Upon a Bookcase)
