Tilly in Technicolor by Mazey Eddings
5.0

Oliver and Tilly are a perfect pair in this first YA debut by Mazey Eddings, who has become a favorite adult author of mine for her fleshed-out characters, representation of mental illness, health, and sensitivity of trauma, bustling dialogue, and phenomenal connections with side characters/found family. Her tenderness and care of these complex characters is so perfect, with their wit and wisdom, flaws and all, always being at the heart of her stories. I adored her previous characters, but this pairing of a summer between an autistic person and someone with ADHD was so well done, and the setting (a robust trip around Europe) was *chef's kiss*.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and of course Mazey Eddings herself, who deserves all good things. I love this book, and I'm soooooo glad I can pop it onto my classroom bookshelf when it comes out.
