I want to go back in time and give this book to teenage me. Mazey writes with so much care and compassion and I felt so seen while reading.

I love Tilly so much and can’t wait for more folks to read this story.

This story was interesting for me to digest. It was difficult to get into at first, until I realized our main characters were both on the spectrum of neuro-diverse abilities. Things started clicking in my mind while I was reading and it was actually a very nice read. It was cute and touched on some things that will really make readers think about how they perceive and interact with all different kinds of people. I would recommend this story to my YA Romance readers.

You know that love story that starts with two strangers seated next to each other on a plane and falling in love before they reach their destination ten hours away? Yeah, that's not this story. When Tilly and Oliver are seated next to each other on a flight to London, they both have an awful time and then they learn they have to work together all summer.

Tilly and Oliver are both neurodiverse (or neurodivine as the book says). She has ADHD, and he has autism. In the book, she writes about what it's like to try to live in a world that wasn't made for her brain. And Ollie's love of color theory made me look at the world differently, even as I read. It's so beautiful, and this book is such a wonderful celebration of neurodiversity.

And I love seeing how well Tilly and Oliver fit together, see each other, and learn to better be there for each other. There's such beauty in their relationship. There's also such depth added in the relationships each have with their families. I would have loved to see even more of those interactions explored.

I would call this a new adult, coming of age romance, rather than a more traditional YA romance. Both characters are over 18 and have graduated high school. And there are a number of adult themes.

Thank you to Wednesday Books and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy. These opinions are my own.

I absolutely ate this story up! I was fully invested from start to finish! I love Mazey Eddings’ books for such positive Neurodivergent Representations! This one being a YA novel is even more special. This is the story that teens who are neurodivergent and even those who aren’t need. It is beautifully written, witty, romantic, and fun. ONE. BED. But closed door to keep it YA appropriate. I seriously will be buying a copy for my shelf when it comes out.

Mazey Eddings has become a must-read author of mine, and her YA debut is a gem! She has an absolute gift for writing neurodivergent characters in a way that is understandable and sympathetic. This is the story of Tilly, who has ADHD, and Oliver, who has autism, and is told through alternating first-person POVs. Tilly’s family sent her to “intern” at her perfect older sister’s start-up and Oliver is also interning for the company. From their bumpy first meeting through travels across Europe, we get to share their growing relationship and – more importantly – personal growth.

The romance is sweet and fun, but their relationship doesn’t “solve” their neurodivergent traits or ensure that they will always understand each other. In addition, Tilly has to learn to accept herself as she is and move beyond her parents’ expectations for her.

I highly recommend this book – particularly for family members of neurodivergent teens. Mazey Eddings really helps readers understand how and why her characters behave the way they do, and also how important acceptance from those who love these characters the most is.

I received an ARC from Net Galley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book was pure joy! I absolutely loved both Tilly and Oliver as characters and especially loved seeing their relationship progress over time, all while traveling through Europe on a summer trip of vibrant technicolor dreams! Travel books always have a special place in my heart, and this book was no exception. This book made me feel so seen, and it’s one I wish I had as a young teen. I loved the story of two neurodiverse teens making their way through a world that is difficult to navigate. This book has so much potential to reach young people and make them feel not alone. Mazey once again has written something beautiful, and this YA debut is certainly one of my new favorites.

It’s exhausting trying to make friends while pretending to be someone you’re not.

The sky wishes it could be as lovely as Tilly Twomley.

"You’ll always be the place that feels most like home.”

MAZEY EDDINGS NEVER MISSES.

I mean this book was the perfect amalgamation of calm and chaos. Neat and organized Oliver Clark and Tilly "not sure if she’s ever sat with a thought in her life or if she just blurts everything out in a constant stream of consciousness" Twomley. I am hardcore struggling in trying to make this review different from my one about Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake because they're both incredibly empowering for women with ADHD and I felt a lot of the same feelings while reading both.

I will say though, that one thing in particular that stood out to me is Tilly's feelings towards her lack of direction in life; even at 24 I feel so much of that, often, and I loved the honesty with which this entire book explores how she thinks about her life.
Oliver was absolutely wonderful and I loved how he thought about Tilly nonstop THE BOY HAD IT DOWN BAD. His relationship with his group of friends and family was so 😭🫶🏼 I can't wait to see all of them again in Cubby Clark is Not in Love!!

I had a hard time liking Amina, because I don't think we get to spend enough time getting to know her, but I loved the evolution of Mona's relationship with Tilly, and how their mom realized how much her treatment of Tilly was actually hurting her, and not helping her. I loved the contrast with that mother-daughter relationship and Lizzie's, where she realized her mother was never going to change, or care.

Tilly and Oliver were hilariously adorable chaos-demons from the very start and I have never simultaneously laughed, cried and aww'd quite so much. My favorite authors branching into YA after writing INCREDIBLE adult romances is something that is quickly becoming my favorite thing ever.

MVP: Micah, I'm obsessed with them, I need to know MORE

This was super cute!!! The neurodivergent rep was nice. The meet cute was one for the books.

The dialog was cringy at times, but nothing so atrocious i couldn't look past it. over all this read as a really fluffy romcom with good representation.

I really loved this read. It was well written and a really important novel. The strongest feature of this story is the way the neurodivergent main characters are portrayed—with honesty and a very informative tone. Discussions around the main character, Tilly's, ADHD diagnosis and how others react to it differently than she does, paint a realistic and relatable picture of what young people who have a similar diagnosis may experience. Seeing representation that normalizes the experience of living as a neurodivergent person—and falling in love with one—is refreshing and appealing for young readers in today's market.

Tilly and Oliver are the cutest!! their disastrous first meeting and then following forced proximity is so enjoyable. while taking readers through their adventure, eddings does a great job of representing adhd and autism.

I LOVED this YA debut. It was an adorable romance between two neurodivergent teens on the cusp of adulthood and big decisions. Tilly has ADHD and feels all her feels so openly. Oliver is Autistic and is quiet and retrospective. Together they’re perfectly imperfect. It definitely toes the line of plausibility, with Tilly spending her summer on a paid trip to intern with her sister in Europe, all while racking up paid writing jobs, but it’s just the right amount. It’s heartwarming and hopeful and a great glimpse into neurodivergent minds that resonates with those who also have similar traits and diagnoses.

I love seeing representation in books, but especially for books made for young adults who may be struggling with their differences! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and review!

I’m so glad we’re living in a time where neurodivergent individuals get to be the main characters in a rom com. I feel like I really gained insight into the characters’ experiences with ADHD and autism, and I can see this book helping a lot of people feel seen and understood.

My biggest gripe is that the romance veered into insta love territory, which is one of my least favorite tropes, but to each their own.

Thank you so much to Wednesday Books for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a digital ARC. My opinion has not been influenced by this courtesy. I rate this book as 4.5.

What a fun book! I read this in two days, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the two neuro-divergent main characters, and appreciated the fact the author is autistic as well as having ADHD. I expect that her life-experiences provide the reader with an accurate portrayal of neuro-divergent life experiences. I appreciated being able to gain some insight into the thinking of both those with ADHD as well as autism. Additionally, the story was told with plenty of humor, making it all the more enjoable.

Tilly can’t wait to escape her meddling mother on a European trip. Unfortunately, she’s interning for her annoyingly perfect sister, her airplane ride with a hot Londoner seat mate was a total disaster, and her new coworker turns out to be someone all too familiar.

I absolutely adored this new adult romance with a neurodivergent hero and heroine. Tilly’s ADHD and Oliver’s autism are realistically and consistently portrayed. Tilly is full of delightful quirkiness, yet extremely relatable. Oliver’s obsession with color theory is expressed in a believable and interesting way, showing him creating his own way of looking at the world via Pantone.

The secondary characters Marcus, Micah, Cubby, Darcy, and Harry provide a great support network for both characters. The story is LGBT friendly as Oliver has two moms, Tilly’s sister Mona is gay, and Micah is non-binary. The European setting is lovingly brought to life as the story progresses, and Mona’s beauty business is wonderfully utilized. Heck, while reading I wished her business was real so I could place a nail polish order. As a writer, I was blown away by how Eddings made each facet of the book come together like a concerto. When I wasn’t laughing out loud, I was grinning out of the sheer joy of reading this book.

I was thrilled to find out that TILLY IN TECHNICOLOR is a series. The next book features Oliver’s musician sister Cubby.

Mazey Eddings lovingly showcases neurodivergent characters much in the way Ali Hazelwood does with women in STEM. And I am here for it.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks to Wednesday Books, an imprint of St. Martin’s Publishing Group, for providing an Advance Reader Copy via NetGalley.

Tilly Twomley is desperate for change. White-knuckling her way through high school while learning to live with her ADHD has left her burnt out. When her parents offer to pay for a summer traveling through Europe, Tilly knows it is the reset that she needs, even if it means working as an intern for her perfect older sister’s start up company.

Oliver Clark knows exactly what he wants. His autism has often made personal relationships hard, but his love of color theory and design allows him to feel deeply connected to the world. He gets a summer internship working as a photographer and content creator for a small start up to build his resume. Everything is going as planned until Oliver meets the start up's other intern, and is forced to spend the summer with a girl that couldn’t be more his opposite.

As the duo’s neurodiverse connection grows, they learn that some of the best parts of life can’t be planned, and are forced to figure out what that means as their disastrously wonderful summer comes to an end.

This book was absolutely amazing. Told from both Tilly and Oliver's point of views it was a wonderfully written coming of age story. I loved the diversity between the two of them, not just because of their separate diagnosis but also because of their backgrounds and upbringings. Tilly is from the US, with parents who expect nothing short of perfection, which means being in denial about her ADHD. Oliver is from the UK and has the most colorful and supportive family imaginable. The neurodiversity in this book was explained so well. It really educates the readers if they have not been exposed to these types of behaviors before.

I absolutely adored this story. It had a little bit of every emotion and was so well written.

Thanks to Wednesday Books for the free copy.
I love Mazey Eddings adult romances, so I was so excited to be sent a digital ARC of her YA debut, and it did not disappoint. It was a joy to spend a book with Tilly, Oliver, and the other side characters. What makes me love and appreciate her books is how Eddings always has a neurodivergent main character. In this book, Tilly had ADHD and Oliver had autism. Eddings is able to capture these characters and their wins and struggles in a way that felt authentic. She wrote in a way that could also help others understand what it's like to live with neurodiversity. Also, these are two young adults figuring out what's coming next while on a European internship. The cities and business were fun to read about. I had a great time seeing each character grow through the story. Lastly, the ending was satisfying. There was resolution but it also showed how people can always be changing and growing and how there is always a possibility to do better.

I love this author and the characters she brings to life in her books. However this one did not do it for me. I can appreciate the representation she does for the neuro divergent community and she does it bang on.
Still a huge fan and can't wait to read more of her books!
3.5☆

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars

Oh Tilly & Ollie. These two beautiful souls who are so misunderstood by the world, grew up in two very different kind of environments, both neurodivergent and very different - yet fit together absolutely perfectly.

I wish I had the power to read the book, love it, and then pick up and choose to forget everything about it just so I can experience it again.

How does Mazey Eddings write her characters so deeply that you feel like you are living in their heads. Like you are experiencing the world through their eyes. Like you are swimming through their thoughts. How does she manage to create two characters that make you feel seen and heard and understood??

I can’t speak enough good things about Tilly in Technicolor. I love everything about this book. This is also the first kindle book that I’ve highlighted many passages and lines because I felt them so deeply in my soul.

Mazey Eddings - how the fuck do you manage to write such amazing works of art? And PLEASE never stop writing.

HUGE THANK YOU TO NETGALLEY AND WEDNESDAY BOOKS FOR GRACELESSLY SENDING ME THIS ARC. The review is 10000000% my honest and unbiased feelings and I can’t wait to get my pre-ordered copy so I can devour this book again and again.

Thank you to NetGallery and the publisher for this ARC.

The book centers around 2 neurodivergent teens, Tilly and Oliver and follows them through their summer together in Europe.

Tilly is interning at her superstar sister's start-up, which she doesn't even want to do, but since it's in Europe and away from her parents for the summer, why not? She's so tired of her parents always nagging her about her life, which she just wants to take one step at a time. Oliver, Tilly seatmate on the the flight happens to be the other intern at the same Company. Unlike Tilly he's organized, focused and has his entire life mapped out. This is a fun, easy read about how two seemingly opposite teens fall in love over the course of the summer.
