Love in Color: Mythical Tales from Around the World, Retold by Bolu Babalola

hopeful fast-paced

5.0

LOVE IN COLOR is a beautiful collection of myth retellings focused on romantic love in its many forms. 
 
I adored this collection and loved how every story felt so new and fresh. I wasn’t familiar with some of the retellings, but it honestly doesn’t even matter. These are just hands down beautifully layered and vividly told stories. And so many of them just radiated joy. 
 
Especially wonderful was the last story which is a retelling of her own parents’ love story. It was also a special treat that her mother joined her on the audiobook to read this particular story. It was so heartwarming. 
 
I cannot recommend this collection enough, and I look forward to rereading it at some point.
