Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
I loved Tilly and I loved Oliver. Their journey to understand and grow closer to one another was sweet and well-written. Tilly's growth and development in particular showed a wonderful character who came into herself as the book progressed.
Most of the book was well-paced, well-written, and touching. However, The end seemed to smoosh a little bit of that aside in favor of rushed conflict and even more rushed resolution. The speed at which the ending rocketed past was a disservice to both Tilly and Oliver. Overall, cute but not as good as I'd hoped. 3/5.

This was a really fun cute adventurous ya romance. I loved that the two MCs were neurodiverse and that the POV’s alternated through the book.
Tilly was a whirlwind, especially at the beginning I found her “voice” chaotic and hard to follow. Almost off putting until I warmed up to her and got used to her personality. Oliver was a little easier to read and connect with but I think that’s bc his personality is more similar to my husband and son’s. Whereas Tilly is more like me and maybe that’s why I had such a visceral reaction to reading her chaotic start to her trip.
The story was cute and I liked the evolution of Tilly as the trip went on. I loved how Oliver helped her just by understanding and being similar.
I was not enjoying the mom but that was redeemed in the end.
