Every Colour of You

by Amelia Mandeville

Living back at home and spending most of her time behind a checkout till, it's fair to say things aren't going quite as Zoe had planned. But she's determined to live every day to the full, and she's spreading her mission of happiness, one inspirational quote at a time.

Since his dad died, Tristan has been struggling with a sadness that threatens to overtake everything. He can't face seeing his friends, can't stop fighting with his brother, and as much as he pretends to be better, the truth is he can't even remember what 'normal' feels like.

One person can change everything.

When these two meet, Zoe becomes determined to bring the missing colour back into Tristan's life. But the harder she tries to change the way Tristan sees the world, the more she realises it's something she can't fix - and in trying to put him back together, a part of her is beginning to break . . .

A novel to break your heart and put it back together again - Every Colour of You is the debut novel from Amelia Mandeville, with heart-wrenchingly relatable characters, big emotions and an unforgettable story.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

Tristan is finally checked out of the mental institute, where he meets Zoe, who's visiting her gran. Tristan isn't necessarily over his depression, but he knows all the right things to do and say to make him appear 'normal', whereas Zoe revels in her weirdness and thinks normal is overrated. When they end up working at the same supermarket together, on the same till, Zoe is determined to befriend Tristan who is clearly struggling and needs somebody like her. This book is about when a girl who lives life to the very fullest, tries to befriend a boy who doesn't want to live anymore.

The best way I can think of to describe this book is that it's a little The Fault In Our Stars meets Me Before You. Although; the narrative is more contemporary than romance compared to these two books. Not a bad thing. I repeat; not. a. bad. thing. The star-crossed lovers theme is a little tired at the moment with so many great releases dedicated to it over the years.

Anyway, to say I loved this book would be an understatement. I want to climb inside it and be best friends with Zoe and support Tristan and cuddle Misha the dog. Amelia Mandeville really made these characters come alive for me.

Zoe especially. I've decided to remodel my life on Zoe's philosophy:

"It's awesome, actually, that I haven't worked out what I'm doing with my life, because now I have more time to be successful. It would suck if my peak was at... twenty-five, let's say. I would spend the rest of my life comparing myself to young, successful, twenty-five year old me's accomplishments. No thanks. At least this way I have something to look forward to."

The reason I have docked half a star is because Tristan's self-pity party can get a little frustrating sometimes:

"Depression is a sour word that offends people when it's spoken aloud. I can't even talk to my best friend any more, and I know it's my fault. I'm the one who changed. I changed everything."

And there were parts in the book that underlined Tristan's sadness, yet didn't add to the story in any meaningful way, for example, when Tristan went to his brother's gym and punched Jack. Nothing came of it. The storyline wasn't impacted whatsoever by that action. I think that the author was trying to show Tristan spiralling, but I think the narrative, dialogue and sub context was doing a good enough job of that anyway, the adding of the conflict only served to make me dislike Tristan.

There were other parts that seemed unnecessary, but I won't get into those now I've made my point, I'll let other readers decide for themselves.

Other than that, this book would have been perfect, I mean, it's still a pretty damn good book, and I'm 100% going to be purchasing it (the hardcover edition is so pretty as well!), but maybe some extra editing could have been done to smooth out any potholes.

Thank you to Net Galley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

1,5 *

I've had my eyes on this book ever since Amelia revealed the cover on her YouTube-channel. Now I've read it, and I'm sorry to say that this just wasn't very good...

I really didn't like the writing style. I didn't like how the reader was addressed and how they spoke directly to you as a reader. It didn't fit in with the story and ruined the flow of it all. I jumped in time so often and when it was done it was really confusing. We were just told that that time passed, and this also ruined the flow. It left me confused because it seemed that they bonded more over the few weeks we didn't get to see, than they did on the page in front of the reader. We learned that they bonded, but we didn't *see* it, which made a big difference in the way I saw the characters.

The characters were honestly a big mess. Zoe was just a big miss for me. She's supposed to be 20 years old, yet she still acts like a 12-year old; pulling faces at strangers, sticking her tongue out (she did this so often!!) and being all quirky just made her childish. The "charm" she was supposed to have comes across like she's younger than her age. I didn't like her personality at all and she annoyed me so much. She was also waaay to clingy and desperate.

I don't understand how Tristan could stand her. Oh, wait he couldn't! Until it became inconvenient for the plot... I didn't really see when her and Tristan's friendship became a friendship. It just seemed like he accepted that she wasn't gonna leave him alone, and he might as well just let her tag along. He called her his "friend" just to describe their relationship to his brother and from then on they just were. No questions asked. I just don't buy their friendship. It didn't seem genuine, and he obviously didn't care for her for a long time. Didn't listen to what she said, ignoring her and just dragging her down.

Tristan was okay, I definitely preferred him over Zoe. I kinda liked his vibe and the way depression was incorporated into his character was okay (I've seen better, but it isn't the worst I've seen either). Sometimes it did feel like he was a moody bad-boy, and other times it was as if "depressed" was the only adjective I could describe him with. Like, his character *was* the illness. I think this is something Mandeville tried not to be the case for Zoe's character; she tried to show how much more Zoe was, and that her illness didn't define her. The lack of this type of focus on Tristan's character made him suffer from this, and sometimes made him a bit 2D.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*






The romance in this book was... not existing. I find it hard to believe how this book has been marketed as "An Emotional, Page-turning Love Story with a Difference". The "Love story" part, I don't understand. Where was the love story? She was in love with him, yes. But he didn't like her back, until (say it with me now:) it became inconvenient for the plot. He even rejected her and friend zoned her MuLtiPLe tImES. How did they fall in love???? If it had been a platonic relationship the whole way through I think I'd like it more because that was what it was for a good 85% of the book: a platonic relationship. And then he changed his mind out of the blue. There was NOTHING leading up to him kissing her and him suddenly liking her... He just did!

And the "difference"-part of the tag line? The difference being she died? Is that it? I found it SO lazy to kill her off, and it did nothing for the plot or the characters. She could easily have lived and everything that happened to Tristan at the end could still have happened.

I didn't like this book very much and I'm sorry for my long tangents. I'm just tired and frustrated and I'm so done with this book.

[Adele Shea · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm finding it hard to put into words how I feel about this book. It's messed with every emotion in my body.
Every Colour Of You, is told in the points of view of Zoe and Tristan. Tristan is finally released from hospital after getting sectioned. He hates life and really feels like he has nothing to live for. That is until he meets Zoe who loves life and wants to enjoy every minute.
This book really highlights the different aspects of depression and loss, and how it affects people differently.
I just loved this book and the characters.

2.5 stars

Zoe and Tristan meet at the hospital and they paths start to cross in the most unbelievable ways. Tristan is suffering from depression and his world is this of a very dark colour, and meeting Zoe brings rainbow colours into his life. Zoe is also determined to help him raise again after the sudden death of his father - but the more she tries the more reluctance she meets. Also, her own world starts to crumble around her - are they both going to find what they're looking for? Will the fall apart or maybe will they manage to pick themselves up?

Zoe was a complex and complicated character but instead of falling for her, she just annoyed me. I do get where she was coming from and why she was like this, but her being SO chirpy, SO bouncy, SO relaxed was just too overwhelming. On the other hand, even without knowing till the very end what it is that she has, I did care about her. There was simply something in her that made her outstanding. However, I couldn't connect with the characters so in the end I really couldn't care less what's going to happen to them. Tristan was so overdone with his image of "bad boy" that eventually I found myself rolling my eyes at him. I guess we were supposed to fall for him and to sympathize with him, but well, I simply didn't like him. Sure, the author has done a brilliant job in capturing his character, him being so torn and troubled - I can't deny this and I don't want to deny it. But altogether he was not likeable for me.

I appreciate what the author tried to achieve with her writing, and also I must say here that her writing style is really good for a debut novel. It was thought - provoking and full of questions that were actually aimed at the readers which was really exceptional and different, as it truly makes you think. I just couldn't shake off the feeling that the author has tried much too much to deliver a book with messages of love, second chances and not taking life for granted. It was too obvious, too strongly emphasized and while I really appreciated what she tried to do here, it just was too obvious for me and simply didn't work for me. Theoretically, this book had it all, a poignant plot and it touched upon many important issues, such like depression, health conditions, death and grief and maybe it's going to work for younger audience, I personally think Ms Mandeville tried too much and overdone it. It felt very repetitive and slow.

Overall, too overplayed, too dramatic, too much. However, the author deserves a standing ovation for choosing such heavy topics for her debut novel. There is the issue of having two dads as parents, which was tackled in such a light, forthcoming and charming way; of course the issue of depression and the way it affects whole families; the issue of living with a heart condition and not being sure how long you still have to live. You can easily see that the author has done her homework, as she writes about details that we wouldn't notice but that often define people suffering from depression. Perfectly describing the rawness of mental and physical illness, therefore full of emotions, the most deepest and raw ones. Sadly, not for me.

Every Colour of You is a book that will remain in your heart giving aches every now and then. Personally, throughout the read, I got this heavy sensation, which kept me reading slowly than usual, because I was scared. It kept giving me All the Bright Places vibes. I love this, but I just want to rub it off from my memory.

"One person can change everything"

Zoe is a girl full of life; bright and colourful. Tree is quite opposite from her; depressed, hopeless and grieving. He wants to die, death is what he wishes for. But with Zoe around, it is really difficult not to live. While Zoe is trying to fix him, she understands that Tree doesn't want to be fixed. And her own life is not as bright as she shows, maybe it's her who is more broken and needs to be fixed.

[Aoife · Rating 3 out of 5]

When Tristan meets Zoe, she becomes a splash of colour in a world that’s become very dark. Tristan is suffering from crippling depression following the death of his father but Zoe is determined to make him her friend and help him back onto a path with a hopeful future.

This is a charming book with characters that definitely spill off the page and into your heart. First off I’d like to write about the great representation in this book, not only for mental illness but MI in men as well as women, and how things like depression can surface in other ways such as over drinking. Zoe has two dads as well, and her family unit is a strong, stable and supportive one that’s honestly lovely. There’s also side characters who are queer, and a lot of open, honest conversations about different topics from illness to things like boys wearing make-up that all just felt really refreshing and, dare I say it, ‘woke.’

Zoe is definitely a little bit of a manic pixie dream girl BUT she makes herself one rather than a male character protecting that onto his love interest such as books like Looking for Alaska. There were definitely times in the book when Zoe annoyed me (mostly because I know if I knew someone so damn happy and chirpy like that they’d drive me mad) but at the same time I cared a lot about her because there was something in her I recognised. I’ve definitely created characters in my own writing really similar to Zoe, and there was something about her that really touched me because of this.

I also liked how this story really loved how unknowingly selfish someone suffering from mental illness can sometimes be. People are so stuck in their dark thoughts and world, they often fail to notice the hurt in others or just smaller things - like Tristan always forgetting that Zoe didn’t drink or forgetting her dad Paul’s name. It doesn’t show it in a mean way or in a way that makes Tristan evil but in a very human way and showed how much he was suffering within himself. This story also didn’t do the ‘quick fix’ where two people fall in love and suddenly they’re all better. It really emphasized that it takes more than that such as will power, support, the right medication and the acceptance of taking it.

I honestly flew through this book and couldn’t put it down. I wasn’t shocked at the ending as I did guess something like that was going to happen pretty early on. The round-up at the end felt slightly rushed as well and I would have liked maybe some bits that dragged in the middle to be shaved off and then the end be given more time to. But all in all a great book.

I think people who liked All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven would really like this book!

[Izzy Northeast · Rating 4 out of 5]

i think i have serious attachment issues because there was no need for this book to break my heart like that.

[Kelly · Rating 3 out of 5]

What is it about?

In a nutshell, the book is about two troubled souls. One consumed with grief and deep dark depression. The other a colourful soul who sees the good in the everyday little things with a positive upbeat attitude.

What happens when their worlds collide is the journey you go on as the reader.

The Cover

The colour is beautiful and it is very relevant to the book, which I love. Also if you have the hardback version you will be in for a heartwarming surprise on the naked cover.

My Thoughts

The book really drew me in, I read in a few hours. The plot was faced paced and interesting read. You really do have two intense main characters with a sprinkle of extras in the background.

I checked online to see what genre they were putting the book and it comes under, New Adult – Women’s Fiction. But for me, it really is Young Adult hands down. I think it’s been moved up because of the tough issues that are in the book. But Amelia Mandeville handles them in such a mature and delicate manner that I don’t see the issue.

You would really think the book would be deeply depressing if you just read the blurb. But for me, I didn’t take it that way. This book is all about living your best life. Seeing the good in every day and being your best self.

As I said there are many difficult topics talked throughout the book. Reading about the various issues really made me think a lot about what others deal with on the daily.

The book really makes you think and take stock of what is important and why getting of bed in the morning is a gift.

I did guess what was going to happen about a quarter of the way through and usually, that would make me DNF a book. But the story was so beautifully written and I loved both the characters that I was eager to continue. Till 2 am may I add. I haven’t had a book that made me lose track of time for a while.

The diversity of both characters is intense and Amelia Mandeville did a super job of creating two complete opposites. I can’t wait to see what Amelia publishes next, after setting the bar so high with Every Colour of You.

A life-affirming journey with two unforgettable characters.

[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

In all honesty, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book - it does feel like a lot of YouTubers are ‘writing books’ at the moment, however Amelia has always talked about her passion for writing. This is NOT another of those standardised YouTuber books. Yes, there were some parts to the characters that definitely stemmed from Amelia’s own experiences but I never once felt like the character was her; this reads like a truly beautiful piece of fiction and I cannot wait to read more of her work!

Focusing on Zoe and Tristan, the two main characters using dual narratives to tell the story. Both characters have their own flaws, lifestyles and attitudes to life. Fate brings them together and that’s where the action begins. The pacing of the book is fast to the point that you don’t want to stop reading; the need to know what is going to happen is strong and I liked how different the narrative voices were. It never once felt like the same person, which made it so easy to sync with the characters thoughts, emotions and actions.

Very modern, the book features friendships, relationships, sexuality, mental health and more through the main characters and side characters, which was a nice touch. I particularly liked how the book explored mental health in men rather than stereotypically through the female voice. My reason for giving 5 stars to this book is because it surprised me. It wasn’t the happiest, most uplifting book in this world but it had a beautiful message. The title, characterisation and running themes work together seamlessly and honestly I’m not over the ending yet; not only did it shock me, it made me cry. Simply stunning.


Thank you so much to Amelia & her publishers, Little Brown for sending me a proof copy - I’m so, so grateful!

[Fabulous Book Fiend · Rating 4 out of 5]

I did not expect this book to make me cry so much, but it was just so beautiful, how could it not? I started reading this book and initially it seemed like just another contemporary romance between two complicated young people. These characters both had complications in their life, things they weren't telling each other, things they weren't telling me the reader, things they weren't telling themselves but when you start to peel back the layers, it was oh so heartbreaking inside.

Zoe is a great character to spend a novel with, she is bubbly and takes risks and wants to live life to its fullest. She is definitely a zero judgement zone and I love that about her. She also seems to have more going on than meets the eye and you do slowly start to see her let her barrier down just a touch as the book progresses. Tristan also has his barriers up and his begin to come down in a very different way to Zoe's. He has some great morals but he doesn't necessarily always stick to them. We know that he is struggling with mental health, but again we don't necessarily see the full extent of that, but part of that is because he doesn't even seem to grasp the full extent of it.

I love the fact that this book is set in the UK and not the US, I don't think the story would have felt the same if it were the other way around. The other characters in the book have some very British traits and all felt very real and I love the fact that our characters are talking about the kind of things that typical twenty year olds have to deal with; going to uni, working in a supermarket and saving up to buy a car. There are moments in this book that come out of nowhere to hit you in the feels and boy do they hit you hard, but there are moments of such positivity and such beauty too that you literally feel every emotion on the spectrum along with these characters. Mental health is dealt with well and so is the notion of kindness and friendship.

I enjoyed this book more than I was expecting to and in different ways. If that sounds complicated then you'll just have to read it yourself, I recommend that you do!

[Reads & Reviews · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a tough book for me to read, which is ironic because it was such an easy book to read. It's well-written, wonderfully paced, and the author's voice is addicting. But, it's really a very dark book despite its title and, for me, that darkness was almost a game changer.

It's easy to see what the book is about right from the start: living your best life. We meet Tristan who is literally walking out of the hospital after a 6 month stint on the psych ward. He's the first to tell you he's not better and that is clear as day. The chapters he narrates are dark and gloomy and rarely stray from that until the end. As someone who suffers from mental illness and can easily relate to Tristan, this was not fun to read.

Zoe is a bit of a (badly disguised) mystery. Her chapters are the literal opposite of Tristan's: happy and colorful and full of hope. Why she decides to make Tristan her friend isn't something that's clear, but I admit it was fascinating watching her try and break through his depression. That said, it was obvious that something was wrong with Zoe and I spent a lot of time angry that Tristan was going to lose someone else that he loved.

The ending wasn't a surprise, but Tristan's road to recovery still felt rushed. The author says all the right things, but at that point, for me, it felt unfair with too much sadness.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for honest feedback.

[Unathi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Trigger warning, if you're tender from grieving, this book could either be a comfort to you or it could be a great trigger.

Okay, so I tried to be stingy and give this book a four. Then I asked myself why I was withholding the remaining star, I came up with nothing.
I will admit that I was a bit weary of it to start off. Gay dads, gay co-workers, a sad boy and a girl with colourful hair who has a sister that's a bit bland compared to her. I sighed with superior judgement. I also swallowed my sigh and got hit in the face by my own judgement. I was wrong.

This book is about sad Triston, who lost his dad, and his journey through the depression that takes over his life. Triston makes a good friend in Zoe, who is determined to be his constant companion regardless of his curt and unfriendly nature. My only issue with this part is the idolisation of the cute perky girl who comes to save the sad dark boy - I wasn't too chuffed by this narrative. I still like Zoe though. I love how Amelia wrote this in such a way, that I am privy to almost all the thoughts of the main protagonists, but I know there's still a mystery to be revealed. She did that so well.

Zoe's character speaks really well to how Triston handles life situations, this isn't a book that molly coddles depression or downplay it. It's in your face, it's raw, without feeling manipulatively emotive. I respect that.

[Liv · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was so refreshing and uplifting whilst also being absolutely heartbreaking in every way. I found it slightly slow in the beginning and I wasn’t too sure where the book was going to go, but once it picked up a bit of momentum I absolutely loved it!! I thought it was written beautifully and both characters were described so well, I loved them both and wanted nothing but good things for them. There are some really tough and potentially triggering topics covered in this book so be sure to check the trigger warnings out beforehand, however even though the subjects covered are quite difficult, they are also so important and are portrayed so well. I really liked this book and would definitely recommend it!!

[Zubs Malik · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am not crying – You are. Or you will be. When you reach, you know, THAT chapter.
What a beautiful, beautiful book. One that played havoc with my emotions and totally broke my heart at the end. I fee like I am saying to much. That I am veering off into spoiler territory, but the truth is I can’t say MUCH without giving too much away.
What I will say though is this. Amelia’s debut ECOY, speaks so honestly about issues which are often considered taboo, especially by younger audiences.
Without me even realising, this book got under my skin and invested me whole heartedly into their lives. The characters although quite unlikeable initially, were flawed, broken in their own way and you start to appreciate them much more. You start rooting for them. You start hoping they break free of their restraints. They were real and they were ‘human’ and that’s what I liked most about this book. I don’t think that this book was written with the intention to inspire HOWEVER, I do think it was written with the intention to teach valuable life lessons to its young readers. It was, in my opinion written to simply provide an honest script of youthful experiences that are often marred with personal and mental issues
The cover drew me in, but the characters and words made me stay. This book is deftly layered with emotion, humour and realism and if you read one book this month, make sure it’s this one.

When we first meet Tristan and Zoe they’re in hospital. Tristan is about to be discharged after treatment for depression while Zoe is visiting her gran. One is dull and grey; the other is vibrant and bursting with life. For reasons neither can explain they talk and their curiosity about each other is piqued.
In a series of rather incredible events, the pair end up working together and an unlikely friendship is developed.
Over the course of the book, the main focus is the developing romance between them. The spotlight is always on Tristan, his depression, his learning to grieve for his father and the slow process of coming to terms with his mental health issues.
With the focus on Tristan I was somewhat unsettled when it becomes clear that the hints we’ve had about Zoe are signs of something more serious. When we finally learn the truth it was starting to feel like another low blow in a universe determined to deal someone a lot of rubbish.
Things could have moved a little quicker in places, and it might have helped if some of our clues had been a little more obvious. That aside, thanks to NetGalley for a thought-provoking read that will - with many - touch a nerve.

This made me cry on not one but two buses. I loved Tristan and Zoe. I feel like I know them and have been on a journey with them. I want to give them both a hug. This book explores mental health in a very raw and relatable (to me) way. The characters aren't perfect, they struggle and mess up and don't know what to do all the time. I was so sad to finish this book, I didn't want it to be over but I also had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. A strong debut novel, I can't wait to see what Amelia writes next.

*Spoilers*

I kept picking up and putting down this book. It seemed to go nowhere for a long time, and Tristan annoyed me. It seemed to drag on a long time of him just being elusive and quite unkind but the plot wrapped up in a way I absolutely did not expect which is why I ended up enjoying it. It was a slow burner but for a reason. A really nice book about some messy teenagers navigating some real adult problems and being kids about it

[CenReads · Rating 4 out of 5]

An emotionally charged read. It is centred around Tristan and Zoe. How Zoe is trying to support Tristan yet, unfortunately, her own life is slowly disintegrating. A book where a box of tissues will be needed close at hand.
