Overall, I enjoyed this book and was an easy holiday read. Another aspect of the book which I feel is important to note, is the way in which throughout both the story line and the dialogue the mother spoke, as the reader you could tell how this mental illness was also having an impact on the mother too. The maternal bond of unconditionally caring for her daughter was visible through the way their relationship unfolded and the characters developed throughout the novel. In the space of my time on the plane I had found myself almost halfway through the book, it was an easy read yet the story line was interesting and the display of the mother and daughter relationship was one which was raw but as the reader you could feel the positive bond between mother and daughter which I liked. I felt like it was beautifully displayed throughout the novel. It illustrates and educates the reader about these mental health issues and how much they can truly impact one’s life. Depicting her relationship with the boy next door as well as suffering with this crippling feeling of almost being trapped inside her house due to her anxiety. It narrates the story of a teenage girl called Norah, suffering with Agoraphobia. ![]() ![]() ![]() Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall, this was my holiday read of choice, after sitting on my bookshelf for a while I decided to pack it and give it a read on my trip. ![]() ![]() ![]() The only actual point the rescue had was to throw Adam and Holly into proximity. The whole freak-out and search is then rendered pointless. ![]() So basically the first half of the book is Holly being stubborn, clueless idiot and seriously ruining Adam’s rescue, which she guilt-tripped him into doing in the first place, since chances are her dad is a-okay. And while Adam has years of experience with search and rescue, Holly does not. Holly convinces Adam to go out a look for her dad, and then insists that she come along too. Holly’s dad frequently disappears into the mountains for days at a time, but this time she’s convinced it’s different and that he might be hurt (hint: he’s not). Actually, the book can be easily divided into two phases, neither of which I liked, but for different reasons. The first chapter of Rescue My Heart was really cute, but things quickly slid downhill from there. ![]() ![]() Even so, I’m quite sure that this is my least favorite Jill Shalvis book to date, due to her unlikable and unfathomable characters and also because of her degrading attitude towards women. I’m not even sure what to make of this book, to be honest. Reading Rescue My Heart gave me the reader’s equivalent to whiplash. I’m honestly more than a little confused by this. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shea to decide between the two, I like her decision to leave it open to the reader.
