Color Outside the Lines: Stories about Love by Sangu Mandanna
4.0
This is the book of my heart. Love is diverse, and I'm so happy this book celebrates that.
- I absolutely loved this collection of stories, and I hope that it paves the way for more interracial relationships in fiction that explore the complexities and dynamics of interracial couples.
- Some of the stories you might find: the interracial relationship between a Black and white f/f couple in the context of BLM, an Asian teen who grapples with her Asian-fever white boyfriend, and a Hades/Persephone retelling where Hades is a woman and Persephone is an Indian MC!
- Explores a range of interracial relationships and the different challenges associated with them. From communication, to finding common ground, to being separated by differences, only for love and hope to bring them together, to differing expectations.
- Offers a range of genres, from mythology retellings, historical fiction, superhero sci-fi in a contemporary context, paranormal urban fantasy.
- Honestly? I loved it. I think this is the sort of stories we need more of, and I'm so so happy that this exists.
Full review to come, closer to release date.
Thank you so much to the publishers, Soho Press, for giving me a DRC of Color Outside the Lines!
