Under Rose Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall

A teenage girl crippled by severe anxiety and obsessive-compulsive rituals lives in near-total isolation under her mother’s protective care, but her carefully controlled world begins to shift when she forms a tentative connection with a boy who encourages her to test boundaries and face the outside. Their growing friendship and fragile romance bring small victories and painful setbacks, forcing her to confront past trauma, dependency, and the messy, non-linear nature of recovery. The story offers an intimate, raw portrayal of mental illness tempered by moments of hope and resilience.
