4.5⭐️ I really enjoyed the writing style and flow of this book! It took me a few chapters to really get into the book, but once I did, I couldn’t put it down! Overall, if you’re looking for a lighter read that features struggles of neurodiverse characters, I would highly recommend!!
Being a neurodivergent individual myself, I am super glad that Ms. Eddings decided to write this book! Despite the fact that Tilly was in her teens, and I am in my 20s, I could definitely still relate to her character. She was a spunky and fun main character. The fact that one of the conditions I have, is ADHD, which Tilly also had, was just another reason of many for me to adore this book. While I have enjoyed Ms. Edding's books for adults, I honestly think that I enjoyed this book targeted at Young Adults just as much, (or more) than her adult books! So I hope that Ms. Eddings continues to write more books geared at a younger audience! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for granting me access to this book in exchange of my honest reveiew!

If I hadn't had to read this book for my YA Lit class, I would have not finished it and thrown it into the woods where it could go back to nature and never darken my doorstep again. It 100% triggered my anxiety (especially Tilly's POV) and I was just left with the most unsatisfying feeling after finishing it.

3 stars to this very sweet and necesary read for young adults!
I've loved Mazey Eddings ever since I read The Plus One. She has an incredible ability to write about serious topics that other authors just...can't do as well. She has so much understanding, compassion, and sensitivity in her writing and I'm really excited that she wrote one for young adults.
I think Tilly and Oliver's stories are incredibly neccesary and important. Their relationship was very sweet. My 3 stars is more factored in with the ending, as well as the fact that it felt like this wasn't for me. The ending felt rushed to say the least. I was a bit surprised by it. And while I have no doubt that this will be a great read for those in this age group, as well as fellow neurodivergent individuals, I think I'm more on the level of reading Edding's adult romance novels like The Plus One. So please take this 3 stars as more of a, this was not my favorite story of all time but I still think the story is wonderful and Mazey Edding's has something in her that other authors simply do not have and can't replicate as authentically, compassionately, and lovingly as well as she does.
Thank you to St Martin's Press and Wednesday Books for the chance to review this! Very excited to read more of Edding's work in the future!
