I’m aware that mental illnesses are not something that can be fixed quickly. I would like to mention that Luke does not end up being the reason she leaves the house at the end, but even the reason for her leaving felt tainted and there is no real resolution. But I wanted Norah to have a self-discovery on her own. Because yes, Luke was overly perfect and made Norah realize somethings. However, I did not like that the book leaned towards the whole “love cures everything” angle. Luke is a sweetheart, and he and Norah were adorable together. Well that is until, Luke moves next door and the two of them become close. She spends most of her time online, or with her mother. It is very hard for her to leave her home, so she rarely does. Although, it was a cute and innocent romance, I felt a little underwhelmed and frustrated by the way it was handled. Under Rose Tainted Skies is a love story and unfortunately, the book is completely dominated by the love story.
