This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

I was unable to enjoy this book. I read a spoiler and it just ruined it for me,

The book statue of well, ends badly, and I think it could have been better if the character of Zoe wasn’t immature.

A very moving and emotional read. Hard to get to the end but worth persevering.

I received an ARC of this book from netgalley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review.

A very sensitive subject that is handled wonderfully in this tear jerker of a story. A lovely book with great characters.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.
Natalie.

I sadly had to stop reading this book around half way though as it just wasn’t working for me. I didn’t enjoy some of the sensitive, more sad content and the narrative pace just wasn’t for me either unfortunately. Thanks

I received a copy of this from #netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

It was a good story which covered the difficult topic of mental health. The ending was a slight surprise, although part way through I had anticipated it. I think it is more of a young adults book than women's fiction and it seemed written in a way aimed at a younger audience than me (early 30s). However I still enjoyed it and it didn't seem too young for me to enjoy it.

Wow what a book. I laughed, I cried and then laughed and cried some more. We first meet Tristan and Zoe in a hospital waiting room. One is visiting a sick relative whilst the other is being discharged from a mental health unit. What follows is an unlikely friendship and helping someone to learn to live again. I liked how the book is written from both characters perspectives as we get to see the story unfold from different view points.

Highly recommended if you’re a fan of Jojo Moyes and Cecelia Ahearn

Wow. Wow. Wow. This is a brilliant modern fiction story. It's an original storyline and very emotional but compulsive read. Two young adults meet in a hospital under the worst of circumstances and fall in love. Read on!

This is a haunting book about mental health, and the two main protagonists are called Tristan, who has just left a mental hospital, but is refusing to take his antidepressants. He meets Zoe, when he resumes his job at a local supermarket, and they become great friends - despite all the obstacles that Tristan puts in the way. His problems started when first his Grandad died, then his father. He lives with his older brother Luke, who is a functional alcoholic, but tries to look after Tristan.
Zoe has two fathers (in a gay relationship), and a younger sister, but what Tristan doesn't know is that she is suffering with a heart problem, which eventually kills her.
Tristan eventually tries to turn his life around, readmits himself to hospital, starts taking his medication again, and plans to go back to university to complete his third year for his degree, in memory of Zoe.
The characterization in this book is wonderful, you really feel for Tristan, especially when he gets into a situation that he cannot handle. The story is so good, and feels real.

Wow! This book had me reach for the tissues.
Touching, empowering and poignant.
My heart broke then was mended again. Lovely book.

I had the privilege of being able to read this book before the publication date and I’m so thankful to Netgalley for that. I have always been a fan of Amelia Mandeville, but I promise this review is not based on my admiration for her!

I was pleasantly surprised by her writing style and the complexity of the characters she has created, which is especially extraordinary for a debut novel. Every Colour of You tells the story of Tristan and Zoe, two teenagers with completely different perspectives on life. Zoe is an enigmatic and chirpy teenager whereas Tristan is battling with depression which is reflected through his rather negative outlook on life. It is refreshing to find a young adult novel that raises awareness of mental illness and how it can cause someone to be selfish, without demonising the sufferer or romanticising the reality of being mentally ill. I don’t want to give too much away in this review as I am currently writing a longer one to post in the future. So, if you want to read a story that recognises male sufferers of mental illness and tactfully deals with emotional storylines then Every Colour of You is the book for you.

Every now and again a book comes along that touches you deep inside, and this is one of those. But wow, did it make me cry. Not even a gentle tear rolling down my face - big, ugly crying. It was rather cathartic. The things is, I'm not one of those people who reads tear-jerkers on purpose. I generally prefer to keep my reading light and escapist, but this one just called to me on Netgalley and I'm glad I answered that call. Besides, there is the uplifting side to this story too. It's certainly not all gut-wrenchingly sad, just a bit at the end.
Zoe is just incredible, one of those larger than life characters that I so wish I could know in real life. Tristan is kind of brilliant too, in his own, quiet way. Above all else, Mandeville's sensitive portrayal of depression and the way it effects not just sufferers but those around them, was all kinds of wonderful. I will most definitely be on the lookout for more work from this talented author.

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.

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.

I wasn’t too sure about this book when I started, feeling it wasn’t really for me. However the story does draw you in, the author tackles the very difficult subject of mental health issues with honesty and compassion. There is laughter and sadness in the story and it is an emotional journey, with the ending for me unexpected.

This is a debut novel by this author and it is absolutely beautiful!!!

What happens when someone who lives every day to the full meets someone who can only see reasons to stop living?
-------------
We had a story - short, but not a simple one. I couldn't stay here and explain it all to you. If you really want to know, you'll have to take time out of your day.
You'll have to read it...

Zoe's life is full of colour. A fan of impromptu yoga, inspirational quotes and experimenting with hair dye, she's on a mission to make the most of each and every day - even if she is currently spending most of her time behind a checkout till.
Then she meets Tristan. The rumour is that since his dad died, Tristan's life has fallen apart. No one has seen him for months. But now he's reappeared, does that mean he's back to 'normal'?
Zoe soon realises Tristan is struggling with a sadness that she can't possibly understand and becomes determined to bring a world of colour back into his life. But the harder she tries, 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 fall apart. . .

A heart-breaking yet heart-warming tale of love, grief and how precious your health is.
This book gives a frank, honest idea of living with depression and I challenge you to read this and not reflect on what you are doing in your own lives.
You will need a box of tissues at the ready for this book.

This is a Brilliant Debut Novel by Amelia and I look forward to her future works.

Thank-You Netgalley for my ARC.

The book opens with Tristian about to be discharged from a mental health ward where he's been sectioned for 6 months. His crippling depression after the death of his father consumes his entire life. He's not really well enough to leave the ward but staff don't realise that. At the hospital he meets Zoe for the first time and the pair later discover they will be working together. Zoe, unbeknownst to Tristian has her own problems. Her own secrets. But outwardly Zoe is this zany character with a thirst for life and hair that is dyed a different colour every month. When she first meets Tristian he views her as this crazy girl with purple hair. She's unpredictable, a little bit scary, always taking photos with her disposable cameras and is completely the opposite of Tristian, whom she renames Tree because she thinks that name suits him better. Their friendship blossoms despite his best efforts to avoid contact with Zoe. She's not the type of girl to take no for an answer when she decides she wants to be your friend. Zoe has made her mission in life to open Tristian's eyes to the beauty of being alive. She desperately wants to save him from his depression and make him see that the world would be very sad without him in it. Tristian on the other hand simply does not want to be alive. He feels nothing but overwhelming sadness. His relationship with his brother has hit rock bottom and he simply gets through every day as best he can wishing for it all to end.

While this story may initially sound quite depressing it is in fact a beautiful story about 2 people forming a friendship that forces them both to take a look inside themselves and find strength to do things they never thought possible. And, if you've ever lived with depression yourself or support someone who does, you'll see just how accurately the author describes Tristian's state of mind and the crushing sadness he feels. She has also captured the frustrations of his brother Luke and the constant state of alert he lives on worrying about Tristian. The character of Zoe is simply stunning. I loved her quirkiness and her view on life. Despite harbouring a terrible secret herself, Zoe brings sunshine into Tristian's life. She is the colour to his darkness. A tear jerker of a book that I'd highly recommend.

#EveryColourOfYou is a brilliant read. It portrays depression in such a sensitive and realistic way, and also the struggles of other people who care for those who suffer with it.

I fell in love with Zoe, she is funny and kind and though she never talks about it, you just know something is going on with her health throughout the book. Tristan has just been discharged from a mental health facility, and believes he is broken and will never change. Their friendship becomes vital to both of them, but Zoe is sometimes put through the wringer by Tristan; she is figuring out what she wants from life, while Tristan is so depressed he doesn’t want anything, no friends, no career...

I loved this story and definitely recommend it. Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for my advance copy in return for an unbiased review.

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!
