If you've read other books by this author, you know that there are going to be multiple plots, alternating perspectives and short, addicting chapters. That holds true with this one. It was a rollercoaster and it was fun!

Entertaining romance! I mean, it felt like this book wanted to go deeper into the characters but, in the end, it was pretty surface-level and I was just fine with that!

Fantastically awesome and wonderful! True Colors by Abby Cooper is a story about a girl who can't hide her feelings - no matter how hard she tries - like her feelings are displayed in a colorful haze around her body - and what happens when you do hold your feelings in and how it affects other people. I'd hand this to readers of Starfish (Lisa Fipps), Fighting Words (Kimberly Brubaker Bradley), Out of My Mind (Sharon Draper), Counting By 7s (Holly Goldberg Sloan) ...
