In writing the book from Norah's point of view, Gornall provides readers with a realistic look at the daily struggles people with these illnesses face.
Author Louise Gornall suffers from many of the issues Norah does. She learns she's braver and stronger than she imagined. A few other surprising events push Norah further out of her comfort zone. Meeting Luke also spurs Norah to think more about her future and wonder about what kind of life she'll have if she doesn't make progress in dealing with her mental health.
Norah hopes it can grow into something more but despairs over how she could ever have a relationship, given her issues. She's interested in getting to know him but thwarted by her fear and anxiety. Her solitude is upended when she makes eye contact through her window with Luke, the new boy next door. She's been mostly housebound for four years, after experiencing a severe anxiety attack at school. UNDER ROSE-TAINTED SKIES tells the story of Norah, a teen who battles OCD, agoraphobia (fear of going outside), and anxiety.
