Color Outside the Lines: Stories about Love by Sangu Mandanna

4.0

Excellent! I think I failed to actually read what the book was about when I grabbed it off the shelf, because I thought it was going to be contemporary romance short stories. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that it wasn't just contemporary! There were historical stories (in the sense that the intended audience wouldn't have been alive in the 80's or 60's or whatever), science fiction, fantasy, lots of genres that I love. While all of the stories have some sort of crush or love or attraction in them, many were not actually love stories or romances the way I would traditionally think of them. I'll definitely be visiting the backlist of some of the authors whose work I had not read before but whose stories particularly captured me.
