Short Synopsis:
Tilly is a recent high school graduate. She takes an internship in Europe working for her sister. But what she doesn’t plan, is her co-intern, Oliver.

My Thoughts:
The neurodivergent representation in this book is beautiful. Tilly is diagnosed with ADHD. Oliver is autistic. The two of them have beautiful brains that more people need to see and understand.

There’s a lot of good about this book. But it did feel extra over exaggerated and then everything seemed to go to perfect way too quickly.

This book is also being marketed as YA and there is very adult content in this book. I really wish it was classified as New Adult instead because no 12 year olds should be reading this book - the beginning target market for YA…

Mazey Eddings’ writing is like a great big hug, and her debut YA novel did not disappoint. This book started off with one of the most entertaining meet cutes I’ve read in a long time, so needless to say I was hooked from the beginning. It’s not just a light fluffy read, though; written in first person dual POV, both neurodivergent main characters (Tilly has ADHD and Oliver is autistic) give a deeper understanding of what it’s like living in their brains. Tilly in Technicolor is heartbreaking, heartwarming, hopeful, and everything in between.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press/Wednesday Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely love the representation and thought this book was very cute. Great neurodivergent representation and loved how Mazey Eddings showed them adapting to the world around them. I love that their romance was realistic and did not come easy for them like it sometimes can in romance novels. This was a delicate topic and covered very well.

Thank you, NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the ARC.

I really enjoyed Mazey’s foray into YA! (Wow—unintentional rhyme!)

As a newly diagnosed neurodivergent, I found myself relating two both Tilly and Oliver! So swoony!

This coming-of-age adventure and discovery is one I highly recommend to everyone. (The amount of time Tilly worries about having to pee is the most relatable quirk in all characterdom!)

I definitely hope to see more neurodivergent leads in more romances!

This is hyper specific - but you know what my favorite part of a romance book is? When the lead who has pretended all along to be annoyed or indifferent steps in to avenge the honor of the romantic interest. And when Oliver steps in for Tilly, I mean. Oof. I just swooned. It was perfect. Mazey Eddings strikes again in this glorious YA debut.

Mazey Eddings paints characters like no one else!
The neurodivergent main characters in this delightful YA novel embrace their differences as strengths, and their struggles to get others to recognize their contributions as valuable was poignantly, sensitively rendered.
A love story about being enough.
A story about standing up for yourself and speaking your mind to those who need to hear it.
A siren song and balm to the soul to anyone questioning their worth because they don’t fit neatly into a box with four corners.

Mazey Edding's YA debut was such a sweet, emotional and insightful book. Anyone who is neurodivergent, or loves someone who is neurodivergent, should read this book.
I want to give Tilly a big hug. She is a sweet, smart heroine who's brain just works a little different than most (she has ADHD). Her insightful nature coupled with her creativeness along with her drive to become a strong and independent woman make her the best heroine I could ask. Oliver (who is on the autism spectrum) is a big sweetheart who just struggles with social cues and hyperfocus and a very big passion for color. Tilly is a whirlwind, and Oliver is the calm in the storm. A disastrous first meeting, forced proximity, common ground in neurodivergence bring this sweet coming of age and first love to life. I love Mazey Eddings romance novels, and Tilly being a YA did not disappoint. For anyone who is neurodiverse, no matter what age, please pick up this book.

I think this might be my first 5 star read of the year! I absolutely LOVED Tilly in Technicolor. I blazed through it and definitely plan to reread. Tilly and Oliver are wonderful characters and representation of their neurospiciness is done so well. Their romance is lovely and tentative and sweet as first loves tend to be. I liked the side characters as well and how they contributed to the story. Will definitely be praising this book to my audience.

5⭐️

I have fallen so in love with Mazey Eddings writing style and her YA debut, Tilly in Technicolor was another absolute winner and an utter delight to read. Her characters are so lovable and relatable. Her stories are beautifully written, and full of vivid descriptions, depth, complex emotions, and so many moments that make you genuinely laugh.

Tilly and Ollie stole my whole heart. I literally couldn’t get enough of them. They were awkwardly lovable, authentic, and the way Mazey wrote their inner monologue, I felt like I was actually living in their brains feeling all of their complex feelings and emotions. Watching these two neurodiverse lovelies learn and grow both as individuals and as friends, and then ultimately as they fall in love was the sweetest thing ever! It was eye opening and informative and I loved every single minute of this book.

Pub Date 8/15: This was an exceptionally beautiful first love story and you truly wont want to miss it!

Thank you so much to St. Martin’s Press/Wednesday Books and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

As an autistic woman whose partner has ADHD, this book means the world to me. This book is a beautiful balance between discussions of ableism (from society and family) and a beautiful summer rom com about two people stepping into adulthood. Mazey Eddings' writing is beautiful and vibrant and she made the perfect opposites attract romance between Tilly and Oliver. This was a book that was healing to read. I cried through reading most of this book and I am so thankful to have a story like this one available for teens and adults. I really recommend picking up this book, it is a perfect representation of neurodivergent love.

It follows Tilly (surprise) who just finished high school and is beyond excited to go explore Europe as she joins her sister on an internship for her nail company. The journey doesn't exactly have the best start because she has the flight of her nightmares, right by the side of Oliver, a handsome British guy who seems to hate her guts as she spills ketchup all over both of them. Amongst other things. To make matters worse (better), Oliver is the other intern going on this European tour. So they'll have to be by each other's side the whole summer, work together, Oliver takes pictures of her, and they also may or may not have to share a room. And a bed at some point. *squeals and kicks feet*

I don't know how to put into words how much this book took over my heart and is forever going to carry a piece of it inside. It is a love letter to neurodivergent people, to anyone who's lost and trying to find their way, to those who are terrified of being too much and not enough at the same time. It takes you on a journey that brings a lot of the broken pieces of your heart together. I feel so much lighter after reading it.

The book is filled with such a special light, so much life, and so many feelings and raw human experiences. Tilly and Oliver mean everything to me, and it was a joy to watch them fall in love with each other, themselves, and life itself.

Even though my expectations before reading this book were sky-high, it somehow exceeded them, and I cannot wait to have a copy on my shelves. So, please pick this book up when it comes out!! If you'd like to read a YA romance about a trip filled with lots of feelings and new experiences, a love where you feel at home and safe with someone more than ever before, complex sibling and parent dynamics, and so much more, you need to add this book to your TBR. It is absolutely one of my new favorites and I will be reading it many times again.

Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for providing me with an E-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

"Tilly In Technicolor" follows an ADHD girl, Tilly, and an autistic boy, Oliver. After Tilly gets accepted to a summer program in London, she meets Oliver, and that is how their relationship blooms. Tilly wants to become a writer, but her mother is not opposed to that being a career.

I'm a huge fan of Mazey Eddings, I've read all of her books to date, and I was super excited to get an early copy of her DEBUT YA novel. I absolutely loved this book! I am not a huge YA reader, but this book really didn't feel like a YA book. I loved the characters and this story. It was cute, fluffy, and funny, and I was captivated the whole time. I loved watching these characters grow and finding their way through life and learning to understand each other. This book is about two characters who are trying their best in the world and falling in love at the same time. I'm super excited to see what Mazey comes up with next -- her books never disappoint me.

I love this author so much. She's one of my favorites. This book is very well written and fantastic but, I just couldn't get into the characters. I couldn't connect with any of them. My brain couldn't keep up with the main character and it was just overwhelming to me. So, I unfortunately made it half way through the book before calling it quits. But, I know others will very much enjoy this book.

I love the way Mazey Eddings write neurodivergent characters. Tilly and Ollie were both absolutely precious and the way the fit together was just perfect!

The setting of this was fun with them traveling around Europe in the summer.

There was so much depth to Tilly and her relationship with her mom and sister as well as her relationship with herself. Her growth and the way she was able to stand up for herself by the end was so heartwarming.

Ollie also had some excellent growth with letting people in and communicating.

I absolutely recommend this one to YA fans as well as people who have been fans of Mazey’s adult books. I would read 5 more books just about Tilly and Ollie!

I’m not sure I can put into words just how much I love Mazey Eddings’ books, her adult romances are absolutely perfect. I fell in love with Tilly and Oliver, just as hard as the A Brush With Love group.

Tilly in Technicolor takes us on a journey around Europe while we get to know Tilly and Oliver. Their meet cute (disaster) was adorable, and had me smiling at these two cuties.

As always with Eddings work, there is fantastic neurodivergent representation. Tilly has ADHD, and Oliver is autistic, and watching them find another person who understood what being neurodivergent in the world really means was beautiful.

Mazey Eddings does it again! I have yet to read a book by her that I didn't love. Her first YA book was great, and I loved the dual POV and neurodiversity rep. The writing was great and the story just fantastic! I highly recommend this one and can't wait for it to be out in the world.

Tilly has ADHD, a fact her mother seems to think is the end of the world. She's just graduated high school and is off to Europe to intern for her sister's nail polish company, an experience their mom hopes will change Tilly's mind about not going to college. Tilly knows that's not going to happen, but what she doesn't know is that the cute boy seated next to her on her flight (who the thoroughly embarrasses herself in front of) is also working for her sister this summer. And that they'll be sharing a room on their travels.
Oliver is autistic, and his special interest is colors, something he's managed to leverage into a job for the summer before heading off to college. He's unsure about Tilly at first, but there's something about her that makes her surprisingly easy to be around, even as they bicker constantly.
The two of them spend their summer working, getting to know each other, and figuring out exactly what it is they want--out of this summer, our of their relationship, out of their lives.

As always with Mazey Eddings's books, I laughed. I cried. I stopped putting off that call to schedule appointments with my therapist and psychiatrist. At times, Tilly in Technicolor was a really hard read, because it was painfully familiar (as I think it will be for many readers with ADHD) but it was so worth the read. This was one of my most anticipated books of 2023 and it absolutely lived up to my expectations. Mazey Eddings's YA is every bit as good as her adult.

5 Pantone 871 C Metallic Gold Stars!!!

This book was a joy. Tilly and Oliver (Ollie!) are square pegs that society wants to put in round holes.

Tilly was diagnosed with ADHD as a teen, finally having an explanation for the struggles she's had in school and in life. Her mom is especially brutal, trying to force Tilly into a path that mom thinks is right, without accounting for Tilly's abilities and desires.

Oliver has autism. He has an incredible wealth of knowledge about color, but not about human interaction. Tint, hue, saturation, value are words that roll easily off his tongue. Love? Not so much.

Tilly's mom dubbed her Tornado Tilly - she's a whirlwind. Oliver craves routine and order. Opposites attract right?

Watching these two neurodivergent teens fall for each other was beautiful! They might both speak English, but their brains speak different languages. Somehow, they find a way to understand each other.

Thank you so much to St. Martin's Press/Wednesday Books and NetGalley for this digital ARC in return for an honest review .



Tilly's sister was annoying at first, but she figured things out.

Mazey Eddings quickly became one of my autobuy authors this past year with her adult romcoms each featuring neurodivergent or characters suffering with mental health. As someone who struggles with both of these things something about Eddings writing gives me such hope during my darkest moments as I can pick up her books and see parts of myself reflected in them as her characters get their happy ending. Tilly in Technicolor succeeded my expectations and if you're only picking up a limited number of new releases this year Tillh should be top of your to buy list!

I am fully in love with this book and the main characters. It is so refreshing to see neurodiverse perspectives written in such a well crafted way. This book will stick with me for a long time and I will be telling all my social channels about it. I can not wait to see how this author develops and what she comes up with next.
