I didn’t expect to like this book so much! I got it at a book swap and thought it would be a quick read that I could bring to another swap… but I’ll be hanging onto this one for awhile. It’s a no spice romance, there is so much good neurodiverse representation, and both Tilly and Oliver were such fun and relatable characters. I was devastated for both of them time and again while also rooting for them.

I didn’t like as much of the miscommunication that was included in this story. I get that it’s justified in this situation, but it still bothered me. I also HATED the MMC’s name - it’s my bf’s little brother’s name so it was hard to make the separation in my mind.

I loved this book so much, I turned around and read it again. I loved the characters, loved the plot, loved their adventure. 

I even loved the secondary characters and their story. 

There aren't many books that show neurodivergence and love/romance and I love that Mazey Eddings helps normalize love and relationships for autistics.

The romance is forced—if Tilly had been tapping me with headphones on for 2 hours bc she didn’t bring something to do for a 10 hour international flight, I would have killed her. I also can’t get past her sister making her share hotel rooms with a teen boy who’s a stranger to her????

It's a cute story with characters who struggle with ADHD and autism that takes place all over Europe. It's just not for me (mostly age-wise), but I'd recommend it to teenagers.

 Tilly in Technicolor is cute. Really cute. I love Tilly. She is the main character that brings up the joy in the story. Miss Eddings done a wonderful job putting FMC as the spotlight.

Oliver is also cute. The opposige attract. Love the story. It is uplifting.
