I would like to thank Mazey Eddings for pulling me out of my awful reading slump. Considering I DNFed two books before reading this one during my slump, that's quite an impressive feat. 

Okay, so I love this book and I am obsessed. As a teenager with ADHD, Tilly made me feel so incredibly seen and it was written so well. The executive dysfunction, the overstimulation, the chaos. I don't think I've ever read a book where the character's brain was so similar to mine. It was refreshing and I've never felt so seen. 

The romance between Tilly and Ollie was just so adorable. I'M OBSESSED WITH THEM AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I do have a slight complaint with their romance where it is a little insta-lovey, and I'm not just talking about Tilly's immediate attraction to Oliver, I'm talking about how they just fall in love with each other very, very quickly.

As for the writing, I loved it so much, except there was a touch too much telling and not enough showing, especially with their ADHD/autistic traits. 

But, I loved this book so much. Immediately recommending it to everyone I know.
