I couldnt help but finish this in almost one sitting!! I am obsessed with this book! The two main characters were so fun to get to know and the setting of the story had me so intrigued the entire time.

Tilly is excited to be traveling to Europe. She gets to work with her older sister, who she's not close to, but it's a chance to get out from under her mom's constant scrutiny of her future plans. She doesn't really know what's next now that she's graduated from high school.

Right out of a movie meet cute, Tilly is seated next to Oliver on the plane only to find out that he is also working for her sister this summer. The two of them were constantly and connected in a way that surprised them both.

This dual POV book switches frequently between Tilly and Oliver and I thought they were both interesting and likable characters. I especially liked the themes in this book about being yourself finding the things that you love and understanding that nobody is perfect. I also listened to this on audiobook and thought that the narrators did a really nice job.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC for an honest review.

such a fun, lovely story!!! I loved seeing adhd rep in a teenage girl instead of the usual media portrayal of it in boys

I LOVED this book. I loved every single world. I related to Tilly's life in so many things. It has to be on of my favorite romance YAs I've had the pleasure of reading. I adore Tilly and Oliver with my heart.

Macey Eddings is a fantastic author! This was her first go around at YA and did not disappoint. I loved Tilly and Ollie were so cute and they had great chemistry. Definitely a reread for me!

Tilly in Technicolor offers an interesting premise but ultimately falls short in execution. The plot, while promising, feels overly familiar and lacks the depth needed to engage readers fully. Character development is minimal, leaving protagonists feeling one-dimensional and their motivations unclear.

A cute, neurodivergent YA rom-com with the author’s classic wit and humor. This was enjoyable, although I do prefer the author’s adult books more. I love the representation this book (and all her books) have and how relatable the characters are.

Edding’s debut YA is a standout voice for neurodivergent youth. Tilly in Technicolor is the book I wish I had when I was younger.

I think that the connection between Oliver and Tilly is actually super cute. I liked the overall plot and pacing of the story. However the last few chapters really left something to be desired. It’s like the author forgot about all the “problems” from the beginning and had to hurry up and wrap them up in two chapters.

And I really feel like the apology and forgiveness of her mother was way tooooooo easy considering the things that had been said and done

Tilly in Technicolor by Mazey Eddings is a rom-com story about an ADHD girl named Tilly and an autistic boy named Oliver. The pair's meet-cute is an absolute disaster and they never expected to see each other again, but in a twist of fate, they do.
The story itself is a fun, cute, and quick read. The representation was enjoyable, even when there were moments when it felt like it was the character's entire personality. As much as I loved the story, some things drove me nuts. I mean, I was ready to rip out my hair. (The window. The entire thing with the breaking of a hotel window felt like it was added only for drama and to showcase Tilly's struggles, but it wasn't properly addressed. We don't know if they notified anyone. We don't know if the glass was swept up before they stayed the night there. Was the window even boarded up before they slept in the room for the night? In the next chapter, Tilly's sister didn't even address it that we know of. It was completely forgotten about.)
There were a lot of moments where there was more telling than showing, and other moments that felt forced. That said, it was still a fun read.

Tilly in Technicolor was a delight in writing and storyline. I was hooked from the first chapter and Mazey held me on to the end. I had a laugh, a cry, and love all rolled up.

Mazey is one to watch look out readers

Mazey Eddings does not stop amazing me with her writing and diverse stories. They are simply beautiful and have such depth. Love how she brings her characters to life. I cannot wait for her next works!

This was cute and I do feel like it was a good representation of being neurodivergent and trying to figure out how to navigate the world. Tilly and Oliver really do end up growing separately and even some together. Yet, the ending of it felt rushed and swept all the problems that Tilly and Oliver had under the rug to make sure the story was wrapped up with a nice bow which was a disappointing way to finish things.

Mazey Eddings is an auto-buy author for me, so I was thrilled to dive into her YA book. She has a remarkable talent for bringing her characters to life, and I especially appreciate her nuanced portrayal of neurodivergent teens. Her ability to weave mental health themes into her stories adds depth and authenticity, making her work truly compelling.

Tilly and Oliver were so cute. I loved that Tilly was written as this lively, dramatic, and affectionate girl who tries to befriend Oliver, who’s serious and stoic. Oliver slowly becomes more obsessed with Tilly but doesn’t want to be.

No one is surprised that I absolutely loved this YA contemporary romance by Mazey Eddings. Included are her signature humor (can we talk about the chapter titles, haha) and intensely vulnerable characters.

It’s hard not to find Tilly endearing due to Eddings’s writing, storytelling, and character development. And then enter Oliver and you must know where this story goes. These two characters were adorable and complex. I love that they both have a strong understanding of their neurodivergence. It seems like they are polar opposites but when you read their internal thoughts you find that they have a lot in common as they grapple with their sense of belonging and want of connection. I loved the ADHD and autism rep, it felt genuine and not trite or overdramatized.

I really really love this book but I am containing my review until st. Martin press speaks up about the demands! thank you for the arc but meet our demands!

Unsurprisingly, I've given 5 stars to another book by Mazey Eddings.

I love books about travel and this one was so cute and fun! I loved seeing Tilly and Oliver learn and grow and experience new things together! I also loved the ADHD, autism, and sapphic representation that we get in this story!

I always approach books that have a neurodivergent character with caution. Simply becuase author's tend to lean heavily into the stereotypes. And the saying is if you know one neurodivergent person you know one neurodivergent person. However that wasn't the case with Tilly in Technicolor while the author did use some of the typical traits Tilly did not come off as stereotypical and neither did Oliver. I'm not neurodivergent so I can't speak from that point of view. But I can speak from the point of view of a sister a cousin and a daughter of those who are neurodiverrgent and for once a YA author wrote characters on the spectrum that people can relate to.

I really loved being in Ollie and Tilly’s worlds. It’s always interesting to me to read about neurodiverse characters and getting an insight into their brains. I found parts of the book a little choppy, like timelines and where we were, but overall I liked the story of how both main characters navigated the world around them.

The representation in this book was amazing and I connected with the MC's so much. Every Mazey Edding book I pick up I love and adore and even with this being a YA I still love it!!
