Why is this pairing not more popular? Why is this the first I'm hearing about it? Because ADHD meets autism might just be one of the cutest, most spectacular love stories I've ever read.
I am so happy that books featuring neurodivergent characters are slowly becoming more popular. I love the different ways I've got to see characters portrayed, and I have a feeling I'm going to be seeking books out with these unique minds for a long time to come.
Tilly's a bit of a mess. Part of this stems from her ADHD, though a lot of it stems from her lack of confidence and direction. She's been taught to think that the different way her brain works means that she's always going to be struggling to suppress herself, that despite her best efforts she's going to fail. Personally, she's hoping her upcoming trip to Europe - officially to be an intern for her sister's company - will be just what she needs to find something she can do well. Writing, she hopes. Something that doesn't mean her future is struggling to put herself into the mold of college student and someday office career worker.
On her flight to London, her seatmate happens to be a handsome boy she hopes she can spark up witting conversation with, and just maybe some potential romance? He's not engaging in any of her small talk though, and instead they find themselves on the most disastrous flight of their lives. They're not done with each other yet, since it just so happens that Oliver is also going to be a fellow intern for Ruhe.
Surprised to find that they might have more in common than they thought, and that in fact they don't hate each other, Tilly and Oliver overcome their rocky start. For all their differences, there's something about the other person that resonates with them.
Seriously, one of the cutest books I have read in a long while. I love Tilly and Oliver, and I was not ready to part with them. I've already been babbling about them to my friends, and putting this on the order list for my mom's library. I'm so excited to find even more opportunities to tell people about these two, because I'm sure they will not be disappointed!
Thank you to the publishers through NetGalley for providing an ARC.

Oh, how I wish I could have read this sweet YA rom com when I was a teen with undiagnosed ADHD! The author really understands ADHD … she captures the joy and irritation so perfectly. Thank you for the representation, Mazey Eddings!

Mazey Eddings did an excellent job of describing what it's like to live in this world when you're neurodivergent. Tilly is my first book by this author. I loved it. It packed an emotional punch and I appreciated the diversity in her characters.

This YA love story about two neurodivergent was a quick, sweet read in a non Hallmarky way.
Tilly who has ADHD and Oliver who has autism, make for great characters and a great romantic focus and I could easily see this being a Netflix special or a short film.
I particularly loved Oliver’s fascination with color and how that “colors” the entire book with how he identifies colors in Tilly and how vibrant she is . That, as well as Tilly’s blog post segments, were my favorite parts. This added depth to both characters and the way they see the world.
A great pick me up read, particularly after too many thrillers!
