Tilly in Technicolor by Mazey Eddings
5.0
I’m neurodivergent and my husband is a newly diagnosed neurodivergent, so I really wanted to read this book. My biggest takeaway is you need to read this book NOW! Tilly in Technicolor by Mazey Eddings is one of those dual POV books that makes readers feel seen, and I’m not kidding when I say this book was like getting a big, warm hug from Eddings.
Meet Tilly. She has ADHD. Meet Oliver. He is autistic. Together, they’re stuck in a summer internship. Will they be able to make it through the summer, and learn to lean on each other? Honestly, this is more than just a love story between two characters. This book is truly a love story to the neurodivergent community.
Representation is HUGE, people. Trust me, I cried when I saw Ariel finally looked like me. That I could finally be a Disney Princess without being improperly typecast as Jasmine. This book is that feeling. A young adult romance, this story is sweet and endearing for readers of all ages. It helps readers to understand how the world is different for the characters, along with communicating the misunderstandings and conflicts that can arise from this. Eddings wrote a beautiful story in this regard, well, in all regards really!
This was my first read from Eddings and I have now added her as an auto-buy author to my library. I’m totally getting my hands on MULTIPLE copies of this book, I’m talking one for me and one for my lending library. I want to help this book be everywhere in the world, because it’s going to change the world. Thanks, Mazey for putting this out in the world and for continuing to bless us with your stories. We need them.
