i loved this!!!! it was so wholesome and adorable and funny and relatable. i absolutely love the cast of characters and they each bring something so refreshing to the story! oliver was so cute and wonderful and everything. a thing i loved about this was the fact that while the romance was the most prominent relationship, there were very strong presences from both oliver and tilly of parents, and siblings, and friends, which added to the depth of the two main characters. another thing i loved was that, for the most part, the mood was fun and upbeat and romantic, but also there were moments of vulnerability and emotion. i will say this book doesn't have a super structured plot; its very character driven, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, things just got kinda repetitive. nonetheless, this was such a good palate cleanser and i would recommend this to anyone! the representation in this was also so diverse and wonderful to see ☺️

Listen. If you are neurodiverse in any way, this book will make you feel seen in so many ways. It's a beautiful story of two very neurodiverse people and how they become friends and then more than friends. All while balancing life, work, finding themselves and so much more. 

It's truly a beautiful story, and this is well worth the time to read or listen.

I love the autism and adhd rep!

Mazey Edding's YA debut was a real treat and (what felt like) an authentic look into the neurodivergent teenage mind.

To outsiders and even her family, Tilly seems scattered, unstable, and unmotivated about her future. In reality, she is passionate about writing, intensely in tune with her emotions, and seeking to find her place in a world where she feels constantly misunderstood due to her ADHD. She gets the opportunity to spend the summer in Europe with her sister's nascent company and can't wait to start living her life untethered from home.

Enter Oliver, interning with the same company for the summer and completely thrown off by Tilly and her personality. As the two work together more and start to learn about each other's neurodivergence, they realize that they have more in common than they realize and that maybe their summer in Europe is just a beginning.

I am looking forward to Eddings' future forays into YA novels!

This is such a sweet love story! This book is a long time coming. So many kids will relate to Tilly and Oliver. Everyone with an ND person their lives should read this book. So.. everyone.

This is the first book I have read or listened to by Mazey Eddings. I haven't read any Young Adult romance in ages, but LOVED Tilly in Technicolor cover the moment I saw it, then loved the synopsis. I'm always in when it comes to autism/ADHD representation in books, so that's why I requested this book. I'm not going to lie, this book was emotional for me, I laughed, rolled my eyes, and wanted to cry because I saw myself. This book had so many funny events, that I also wanted to know my aura's color, well, I still want to know hahaha. Oh man, how I enjoyed the sisters' relationship, and the way Tilly and Oliver discovered life, and themselves throughout the book. Tilly in Technicolor was a rollercoaster of emotions. However, the only thing I didn't like that much was the ending, it needed more difficulty, I don't know it felt "meh, rushed" like, "I have to finish this asap, here it is your ending." Overall, I did love Tilly, Oliver, and Tilly's sister, well. loved "Tilly in Technicolor". Thanks, NetGalley and RB Media for the opportunity.
