Tilly Twomley is desperate for change. White-knuckling her way through high school with flawed executive functioning has left her burnt out and ready to start fresh. Working as an intern for her perfect older sister’s start up isn’t exactly how Tilly wants to spend her summer, but the required travel around Europe promises a much-needed change of scenery as she plans for her future. The problem is, Tilly has no idea what she wants.Oliver Clark knows exactly what he wants. His autism has often made it hard for him to form relationships with others, but his love of color theory and design allows him to feel deeply connected to the world around him. Plus, he has everything he needs: a best friend that gets him, placement into a prestigious design program, and a summer internship to build his resume. Everything is going as planned. That is, of course, until he suffers through the most disastrous international flight of his life, all turmoil stemming from lively and exasperating Tilly. Oliver is forced to spend the summer with a girl that couldn’t be more his opposite—feeling things for her he can’t quite name—and starts to wonder if maybe he doesn’t have everything figured out after all.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. Tilly in Technicolor is Mazey Eddings's sparkling YA debut about two neurodivergent teens who form a connection over the course of a summer.

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. And again. And again. And 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.
