Tilly in Technicolor
by Mazey Eddings
Thank you Mazey Eddings, NetGalley, and Macmillan Publishers for providing me with the e-arc of Tilly in Technicolor! Mazey has been a must-read author since I read A Brush with Love, and Tilly and all of her friends absolutely did not disappoint.
Tilly in Technicolor is told in a dual POV (my absolute fav) split between Tilly and Oliver. Our two main characters first meet on their transatlantic flight from Ohio to London. After spilled ketchup, a near-miss vomit, and both Tilly and Oliver being over-stimulated on the flight, the two think they will never see each other again. But, as fate would have it, they end up spending the summer working for Tilly's older sister's startup and travel all over Europe together.
While Tilly has almost nothing in her life figured out, Oliver has his whole future planned. Tilly's ADHD makes it difficult for her to concentrate in school, thus leading her to not want to go to college despite her parents' wishes. Oliver's autism makes it difficult for him to stray from the comfortable routine and carefully laid out plans. They both think that the other can't possibly understand what they are going through, but the opposite turns out to be true: Oliver ends up being Tilly's biggest cheerleader and Tilly makes Oliver feel things he never thought was possible for him to feel.
I absolutely cannot get over how much I love books by Mazey Eddings and how she never fails to make me cry. At this point, I'll read her grocery list or old short stories she had to write for school. She is so careful with how she writes about neurodivergent characters, that it makes me fall in love with her stories even more. Although I do not have autism nor ADHD, I felt like I could understand how the characters felt during all of their highs and lows throughout the book and am able to relate to them the best that I can. Tilly in Technicolor is an amazing YA novel and I enjoyed it thoroughly (even without the amazing Mazey Eddings spice that shows in her adult novels).
