Color Outside the Lines: Stories about Love by Sangu Mandanna

4.0

Young Adult short story collection. As with most short story collections, I liked some of these stories more and some of them less. It was fun to read more fro so many of the authors I read in [b:Hungry Hearts: 13 Tales of Food & Love|35858798|Hungry Hearts 13 Tales of Food & Love|Elsie Chapman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1538684262l/35858798._SY75_.jpg|57378773]. However, while these stories were connected by a theme (love outside the lines--ie racial lines, gender lines, etc) they were not actually connected to each other. While I know this is typical, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I did the common setting for all of the stories in [b:Hungry Hearts: 13 Tales of Food & Love|35858798|Hungry Hearts 13 Tales of Food & Love|Elsie Chapman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1538684262l/35858798._SY75_.jpg|57378773]. These stories are from many genres-- contemporary realistic, fantasy, and there is even one set in the height of 80s punk culture. A fun anthology and I look forward to checking out additional work from some of these authors.
