- 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.

OH. MY. GOSH. this is my new favorite mazey eddings book!!!! i cried SO much, but i also laughed out loud so much. first and foremost, mona and tilly's mom could get absolutely WRECKED in the first half of the book. while mona eventually came around (and i could like see some of her side being that older sister, but also doesn't excuse the disrespect), her mother??? it's hands-down on SIGHT. she was rude, disrespectful, and ableist as SH!T. her apology didn't mean much to me, but i am glad that tilly got something out of it.
MOVING ON: i loved the neurodivergence rep sooooo much - autism (mmc) and ADHD (fmc)!! tilly and oliver are like my new favorite characters of mazey's because i just saw so much of myself in them. i wanted to hug tilly so many times throughout reading because i just needed her to know that it was okay, she would be okay, and that she was loved and wanted. if you couldn't already tell, i cried the most during her pov lol. it just hit too close to home sometimes. anyways.. pls pls pls go read this when it comes out in august!! i have already preordered my physical copy because i HAVE to have this masterpiece in my hands and be able to annotate it.

Mazey Eddings writes neurodiverse books that scratch my brain like no other. The mannerisms, descriptions, thought processes, and all around chaos vibes are so up my alley.
Tilly and Ollie were such soft and cute characters to follow through this book. Their confusion on feelings and sensations resonated with me despite me being a whole eight years older than they are. Their tentative connection over neurodivergence and subsequent romantic development was so tender and innocent. I loved them so much.
Tilly’s growth as a young girl finding her independence alongside unmasking her ADHD was a really heartwarming emotional journey to follow. I loved seeing her come out of her shell, shrug off the weight of others watching and scrutinising her, making choices that made her happy.
Superb book. Can’t wait for my physical copy!!
