I really loved and enjoyed this heartwarming YA romance book with 2 neurodivergent MCS. Tilly has graduated from school and she is going on a European tour to help her older sister get her nail lacquer business off the ground. Tilly is not sure what she wants to do next but she has been living in a shadow of her "perfect older sister who has her life together" and she is messy, unorganized ADHD riddled kid who has no direction, or at least to her parents. Her parents are hoping that her sister's business mentality will rub off on Tilly and Tilly will become a very responsible young woman who will go to school in the spring to obtain a degree.
On the plane ride she sits next to Ollie, who is put together, social media manager and who sees the world in color. Ollie has autism and came from a very supportive family who really made sure that his needs were prioritized. Ollie is hired on as the social media manager and photographer for Tilly's sister and these two did not get along that great after an awkward plane ride with a ketchup fiasco.
I thought them coming together was cute and I loved seeing Tilly grow and learn how to advocate for herself and her needs. This is a great travel/ summer read and the audio narrators were fantastic!
I wanted a little bit more with Tilly and her parents, I think it was great but it wrapped up so quickly given all that they were doing and how the ableism was coming out with her family.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an audio ARC to read and review.

Thanks to Wednesday Books for the free copy of this book.
- TILLY IN TECHNICOLOR might be a perfect book. I adored everything about it. It's the exact right blend of YA rom-com and serious coming of age. Tilly and Oliver's ADHD and autism, respectively, are portrayed with loving nuance. And it's just a good, fun read.
- I adored watching Tilly and Oliver learn how to understand and accommodate each other as they got to know each other better, which starkly highlighted how others tried to force them to be people they weren't.
