Color Outside the Lines: Stories about Love by Sangu Mandanna

3.0

The challenge with all short story collections: how to collectively rate something that contains multiple works from multiple people? I suppose overall I appreciated premise and the variation in story genre and character background, but found a real inconsistency in the quality of the different stories: some of them particularly didn't seem to quite fulfill the need for world-building and a plot/character arc within the short story format, and I found a lot of the endings quite abrupt even when I was enjoying the story.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC.
