Looking for a change and an adventure, Tilly heads to Europe to intern for her sister’s nail polish company. After a meet-disaster on the plane with a hot British stranger, she finds that he is her fellow intern for the summer.
Oliver and Tilly seem like opposites at first, yet they are more alike than they realize. As neurodiverse teens (Tilly with ADHD & Oliver with Autism), they both struggle to find their place in the world, and how to interact with it.

My gosh this book is just like a warm (firm) hug! 🤗 it was simply wonderful.
I can barely put into words just how lovely this book was. I loved being in the minds of these two, seeing the world through their eyes. Oliver’s fascination with color theory and putting that spin on how he views the world was a delightful element to the story. Tilly was absolutely hilarious, with her info-dumping personality of blurting out everything on her mind.
While anxiety isn’t considered neurodivergent, there are definitely a lot of similarities that I could relate to. I often find myself overstimulated in many situations, and at many times overthinking things I’ve done or said.
I mostly listened to the audiobook, and the narrators did a phenomenal job of capturing the essence of the characters!
