As a teacher I love reading books with representation of neurodivergence in them. This book was very well written for a debut author. I will absolutely e picking up more of this authors work in the future.

More neurodiversity in books please!! This was such a lovely YA romance with much needed, authentic representation. I will read anything by this author now!!

I looove this author and was so excited to see this YA debut about two neurodivergent teens who form a connection one summer.

It was written so well, and Tilly and Oliver were such great characters, and so fun to read about! Tilly was hilarious, and I loved the way the storyline included the representation of neurodivergent characters and from the LGBTQ community.

I listened to the audiobook format and loved the narration so much! I had such a smile on my face while reading, which I knew would make for a five star read for me.

WHAT TO EXPECT
-opposites attract
-YA romcom
-neurodivergent MCs

This book was so fun. I loved seeing the world through Tilly and Oliver's eyes.

Tilly was a lovely character who wasn't accepted for who she was by her parents. They didn't understand her quirks and what caused them. I loved traveling with Tilly and Oliver all over Europe and getting to see her experience life away from the pressure of her mom. Oliver's ability to recognize colors and in turn Tilly just melted my heart. They were able to see each other for who they were and accepted that.

Most of all I loved that Oliver's autism wasn't portrayed as a negative, nor was Tilly's ADHD. Their neurodiversity was celebrated.

I absolutely loved this book, it was so beautifully written and I was obsessed with the way it was told. It has ADHD and Autism representation, which were perfectly written and shared.

The story follows Tilly and Oliver. I absolutely adored both characters so much, the audiobook was fantastic. I also loved the tours around Europe - such an interesting take. Tilly has ADHD and Oliver has Autism, it was so heartwarming seeing both of them come together.

I felt so emotional and moved by the story, it was a fun YA romance, but it also had a deeper meaning behind it. It’s a sweet summer love story for sure.

I also loved the one-bed trope and forced proximity. It was a slow burn, but it had its humorous moments. There’s also a theme around self-discovery, which I found interesting. I do wish the ending was tied up a bit smoother.

I flew through this book and loved the characters so much. I loved the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ rep in this book, the author did a fantastic job writing this story.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the review eARC and Macmillan Audio for the ALC in exchange for my honest review!

Due to St. Martins Press refusal to address the remarks made by their employee regarding Palestine, I will not be reviewing this book.

This in no way has anything to do with the author. But I refuse to support anything from SMP because of their refusal to address a major issue at hand.

Tilly in Technicolor is great for fans of…
🩷YA Romance
🩷Dual POV
🩷Neurodivergent Representation

As someone with ADHD, I could highly relate to the streams of thoughts & feelings of Tilly. This would have been such a wonderful read to have when I was a teenager to understand what I was going through. I love finding realistic characters with their perfectly imperfect selves. This was a delight to read as a neurodivergent & I am grateful this exists.

I listened to the audiobook of this & I really enjoyed the narrators. I loved how they switched between the accents. I thought it was well done.

Thanks to NetGalley & Wednesday Books for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

This was a YA book that was fine and comes from an underrepresented perspective, which I appreciate. However, it became a bit slow for me. A good book, but not one I’d be inclined to pick up again. 3 stars ⭐️.

Since Tilly in Technicolor is published by SMP and Wednesday books, I will not be continuing with this book because of their silence against an employee's hatred towards Palestine. #SpeakUpSMP

When I tell you that I absolutely LOVED this book, it’s an understatement.
This is going to be a book that changes lives for some, an enjoyable read for many, and a glimpse into the brains of others for non-neurodivergent folk.
With ADHD and Autism representation, Mazey manages to depict what it’s like to be neurodivergent on each page – and yet it felt like I was watching a movie, which is not something I can say about most books.
I loved the YA/NA element of this book where we got to see both Tilly and Oliver learn to share what they typically keep close to themselves due to past judgements and feeling like outsiders. They got to grow together and show one another that there are ways to enjoy the world even if you’re not a neurotypical person.
I’ve shared this book with friends and the first thing they said (in between their chuckles, because this book is funny too!!) was that they felt seen, heard, and recognized. That their brains work this way too and they just thought they were weird because of it.
Thank you, Mazey. For sharing the depth of these characters with us. For showing up how many people might be struggling in the world and how we can be kinder toward their needs and insecurities, and writing books that help people feel seen for sometimes the first time in their lives.

Go. Get. This. Book. NOW!

This was another wonderfully sweet, funny, complex romance from Mazey Eddings—I love her representations of neurodivergence, and this was no exception.

Tilly Twomley has ADHD and is dying to leave home, because her mother doesn't understand her and is pressuring her to go to college. It has become clear to most people that college is not for everyone unless you are going into STEM or a specific profession that requires it. Building college tuition debt with a degree that will not allow one to pay off the loan is no future. So she is ecstatic when her older sister Mona invites her to come to Europe and be her summer intern and hand model for her nail polish company, Ruhe. On the plane she meets Oliver Clark who is autistic. They have the worst meet cute, and then it turns out that not only is he also an intern for Ruhe, but because of budgeting issues they must share the same room. Oliver sees the world in Pantone colors and Tilly is all over the place while he manages his life by being very organized. But as the summer progresses, they open up to each, encourage each other to step out of their comfort zone and fall in love (awww). Tilly and Mona also become close again as sisters. So cute characters, an education in colors and color theory, and understanding how ADHD and autism affects people and the people around them. On the negative side, there are more gay couples than statistically probable and one character that I don't even know what (he, she, it, they) is, and for no reason, as it doesn't add to the story and just seems to check some boxes. So a very enjoyable story, with some weirdness thrown in.

I read an ARC from NetGalley.com. This is my unbiased and voluntary review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

i thoroughly enjoyed the voices of the two characters and how distinctly i could hear them throughout the story. both are dealing with their own neurodiversity and i love that they're nonthewiser of the other's. i think, too often, that it's perceived as if all neurodivergent people know everything about all aspects of other divergences when its far from the case, so seeing them each navigate in a world that is similar, yet so different from one another was a breath of fresh air. i believe it was approached with both care and understanding without becoming their entire personalities. it's something they live with and try to strive through rather than being the end-all excuse that i've seen written in other books. i loved the writing, their journey, and how thorough it was without being overwhelming.

I am an avid reader of Young Adult Contemporary Romance and have also been diagnosed with autism. My personal experience with the condition led me to take an interest in this book, which also catered to my fondness for travel stories. Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for giving me an advanced copy to read.

Tilly travels to Europe to intern for her perfect older sister's startup company. This gives her the change of scenery she desires so she can figure out what to do away from her overbearing parents who treat her differently because she has ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder). Oliver, on the other hand, knows exactly what he wants in life. His autism makes it hard for him to form relationships with others, but his love of color theory allows him to feel deeply connected to the world around him. He also joins Tilly's sister's startup company as a photography intern. Even though Tilly and Oliver have very different personalities, could they ever fall in love?

The narrative’s portrayal of the disabilities of the two main characters, Tilly and Oliver, was skillfully executed. Their disabilities were integrated seamlessly into the story without becoming the central focus. The romantic aspect of the plot was well-developed and not confined to one setting, but instead took place in various locations. As an individual with autism, I found that Tilly's experiences resonated with my own. I appreciate that the story sheds light on the challenges and misunderstandings that people with disabilities often face.

The only critique I have about the book is that I wished to learn more about Tilly's past and how both Tilly and Oliver felt when they were diagnosed with autism. As a person with autism, I am often asked how I felt when I learned about my diagnosis. Therefore, it would have been great to read about their reactions to it.

In its entirety, Eddings has successfully presented a tale of two travelers that is intertwined with a mental health diagnosis. The author’s ability to weave these two themes together provides readers with a unique and compelling narrative. For those seeking a young adult contemporary romance novel that is refreshingly different, this book is highly recommended. Its ability to touch upon mental health issues in a sensitive yet honest way makes it a valuable read for anyone looking to learn more about the complexities of mental health.

I have been provided with a review copy of Tilly in Technicolor from NetGalley for an impartial review. I just really enjoyed this story and I just didn’t want it to end. I just lost myself in and I just couldn’t get enough of these interesting characters. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.

Thank you, Netgalley, the author, and St. Martin's Press/Wednesday Books for the gifted book! ❤️ #gifted. My review is comprised of my honest thoughts.

Read this book if you like: Dual pov, neurodivergent representation, queer side characters

This was sweet and cute. I love the neurodivergent (autism and ADHD). There is also queer representation in the side characters. I was so absorbed by this book, but the ending let me down a bit. I needed more. It was very rushed. I do recommend it!

This book was adorable. I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish it because I needed to know how it ended. Tilly and Oliver are adorable characters, and I really enjoyed reading their love story! As always, Mazey does a fantastic job of incorporating discussions of mental health and disability, and I can’t write this review without mentioning the hilarious chapter titles. I’m really hoping we see more YA books from her soon, though I love her adult ones as well.

Mazey Eddings can do no wrong. I’ve been a fan since ABWL, and her YA debut leaves nothing to be desired. Both Tilly and Oliver are the most endearing YA characters I’ve read, and it’s impossible not to root for their success individually and for their love.
As someone who was only diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, reading Tilly’s story felt like a hug. Her struggles are so relatable, I had to stop every so often to allow myself some time to sit with my feelings. That’s the power of Mazey Eddings’ writing.

GIVE ME ALL THE YA ROM COMS PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!! I always enjoy Mazey's writing, and I am so excited to finally be able to share her with my kids at school!

I loved this! The representation was beautiful and the romance was top-notch. I think everything should read this.
