Ok, now I want Oliver to assign me a color. Tell me my Pantone palette, darling.

I was so grateful to receive an arc of this book. Mazey Eddings is an author I wish I had discovered earlier and I will now begin to read everything in her backlist. This book was so perfectly sweet and a great romance. It dealt with challenges but showed that love is the most important force in the world.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s press for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Oliver and Tilly are a perfect pair in this first YA debut by Mazey Eddings, who has become a favorite adult author of mine for her fleshed-out characters, representation of mental illness, health, and sensitivity of trauma, bustling dialogue, and phenomenal connections with side characters/found family. Her tenderness and care of these complex characters is so perfect, with their wit and wisdom, flaws and all, always being at the heart of her stories. I adored her previous characters, but this pairing of a summer between an autistic person and someone with ADHD was so well done, and the setting (a robust trip around Europe) was *chef's kiss*.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and of course Mazey Eddings herself, who deserves all good things. I love this book, and I'm soooooo glad I can pop it onto my classroom bookshelf when it comes out.

Unsurprisingly, I've given 5 stars to another book by Mazey Eddings
Slightly cringy writing. Having an adhd character and it being the only character trait was hard to hear especially as someone with adhd too. Same with the neurodivergent character too, it’s the only thing they can be in this I guess. Just not for me.
Thank you to Netgalley and Wednesday Books for the ARC.
I received an advanced reading copy, receipt of which did not impact my review.
Mazey Eddings did it again! I LOVED this beautiful YA coming of age romance. Tilly and Oliver have a disastrous meet cute before they start a summer internship around Europe post-HS for Tilly’s sister’s company. Maybe first impressions aren’t everything…
Tilly in Technicolor was sweet, endearing, lovely, and funny. One of them has ADHD and the other is autistic and there was fantastic representation and dialogue (internal/external) about how it impacted their lives.

Libby audio. I’ve been gravitating towards more neurodivergent characters recently and I thought this was well done. Tilly has ADHD and Ollie is autistic and sees the world in color. It is YA and the characters have just graduated high school. Sex and consent is discussed but is completely closed door. The mother figure is off putting because of how she treats her ND child, but luckily and predictably she comes around. Admittedly, parenting a child with ADHD can be challenging and I think the author was trying to find a way to demonstrate some of the challenges. I like the way Tilly stood up to her mother and basically said this is my brain, this is the way it functions and there is nothing wrong with me.
