Under Rose-Tainted Skies

“The most beautiful yet unflinching depiction of agoraphobia I've ever read.”

Holly Bourne, author of Am I Normal Yet?

“What I enjoyed most about Under Rose-Tainted Skies was my connection to Norah. I liked her as a character but ultimately it was because i had so much sympathy and understanding for her.”

Luna's Little Library

“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

“This is not a YA book about a girl with mental illness and a boy that 'saves' her, this is about saving yourself with the help of those that love and accept you. It's amazing. It's eye opening. Everyone should read it.”

Howling Reviews

“Under Rose-Tainted Skies is an important book, there is no doubt about that. Bu 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 too often found in young adult fiction, let it be this one.”

It's a strong story that should be read by many and read over and over again too.”

A Daydreamer's Thoughts

“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 upliiting 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

“Gornall's writing was beautifully detailed and sensitive, and gave the character of Norah such life and vitality. She jumped off the page and into my heart ... Gornall is a brilliant writer at depicting reality at its most real, raw and beautiful.”
