YA Suffering From Mental Illness Books and GIVEAWAY!

Please welcome Louise Gornall! Her debut Young Adult book, Under Rose-Tainted Skies, is about a girl called Norah, who is suffering with agoraphobia, OCD and anxiety. She is sharing eight YA books with characters who suffer from mental illness. We are giving away a copy of her book as well! Please go to the bottom to enter!
