    When a girl with ADHD and a boy with autism end up thrown together to work for a start-up while traveling around Europe, they find love. And maybe their future.
    What a cute neurodiverse rom-com! I really enjoyed it! I liked that Tilly had no idea where her life was going after high school. I think this is underrepresented in YA/NA books. I also liked that she stood firm on her choices.
   
Her mother in the end redeemed herself for her bad parenting. Which I was very glad for. 
 
    I loved the ending and how she found her own way to start her adulthood. I loved all of Oliver's family and friends and want some of them as friends for myself! 
    Overall, a great OWNVOICES romance! 
    The narration was pretty good, though the male narrator made Tilly's lines annoying, as his version of her voice was grating!

I loved the neurodiverse representation in this book!  Tilly's ADHD and Oliver's autism are so accurately portrayed, the positive as well as the negative aspects.  At first, they find each other annoying, but as they learn that they're more alike than different and begin to understand each other's needs, a mutual attraction develops.  Their communication and respect for each other was so sweet and sincere.  Their interactions with their supportive friends were fun and heartwarming.  Tilly's relationships with her mom and sister weren't as positive as Oliver's were with his, but she improved these by learning to self-advocate.  Reading about them overcoming their struggles, enjoying success, and experiencing first love made for a sweet, feel-good story that I didn't want to end.
