4.24 AVERAGE


I don't understand the negative reviews for this book. I think this was phenomenal. I find Tilly and Oliver way too relatable, and their relationship is cute although corny. But, what else do you expect going into a YA romancey book like this? Of course the cute guy on the plane is gonna be her boyfriend. And of course she is going to make a fool of herself.

Suspending my disbelief, I had so much fun reading this book. And the ending wasn't that bad!! The absolute worst part of the book was the fact that our MC's name is Tilly. Tilly Twomley, Twomley. Twomley.... what the hell????

Her best book so far.  Great story with very realistic character characters. There were some very believable miscommunications, but instead of dragging them out for chapters and chapters, the author handled them. My only complaint is with the audiobook. the male narrator in this book just sounded absurd whenever he was doing an American female voice, and it kept taking me out of the experience.

Is there nothing Mazey Eddings can't do?

This book gave me cavities it was so cute. AHD FMC, Autistic MMC, perfect neurodivergent romance with LGBTQ+ rep as well.

It’s closed door so nothing spicy here, but my heart is so warm. What a sweet book.

Tilly Twomley is desperate for change. White-knuckling her way through high school while learning to live with her ADHD has left her burnt out. When her parents offer to pay for a summer traveling through Europe, Tilly knows it is the reset that she needs, even if it means working as an intern for her perfect older sister’s start up company.

Oliver Clark knows exactly what he wants. His autism has often made personal relationships hard, but his love of color theory and design allows him to feel deeply connected to the world. He gets a summer internship working as a photographer and content creator for a small start up to build his resume. Everything is going as planned until Oliver meets the start up's other intern, and is forced to spend the summer with a girl that couldn’t be more his opposite.

As the duo’s neurodiverse connection grows, they learn that some of the best parts of life can’t be planned, and are forced to figure out what that means as their disastrously wonderful summer comes to an end.

This book was absolutely amazing. Told from both Tilly and Oliver's point of views it was a wonderfully written coming of age story. I loved the diversity between the two of them, not just because of their separate diagnosis but also because of their backgrounds and upbringings. Tilly is from the US, with parents who expect nothing short of perfection, which means being in denial about her ADHD. Oliver is from the UK and has the most colorful and supportive family imaginable. The neurodiversity in this book was explained so well. It really educates the readers if they have not been exposed to these types of behaviors before.

I absolutely adored this story. It had a little bit of every emotion and was so well written.

This novel is a love story to the neurodivergent brains painting our world in technicolor. Within a lovely rom-com, two recent high school graduates intern for a nail lacquer startup that Tillie’s perfect sister and her business partner own. Finding acceptance with themselves has always been a challenge for the teens. As a business trip brings the four to Europe, self acceptance and romance ensues. This is such a sweet story.

Mazey, this is my love letter to be my best friend. I love you. I love your brain. I love your words and the way you represent us ND individuals. Review to come ❤️


Tilly in Technicolor
By: Mazey Eddings

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5 stars


A cute YA romance with great representation of two neurodiverse teens (Tilly has ADHD and Oliver has Autism). Tilly and Oliver were very sweet and I enjoyed seeing them form a connection through mutual understanding. I do wish the ending was more drawn out, as it felt a bit rushed.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press, Wednesday Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I just loved this book and Tilly. Yes, she had many uncomfortable moments throughout her European travels, but she rolled with them. The representation in this book for ADHD and Autism was well done. I love anything Mazey Eddings writes! She's an auto-buy author for me!

the only way i will accept the miscommunication trope is if it involves autism/adhd
