Color Outside the Lines: Stories about Love by Sangu Mandanna
5.0
I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review,
In this remarkable short-story collection focusing on interracial love stories will make you laugh, cry, and--in several cases--wish that for full-length novels of the protagonists. Enjoy a mix of fantasy and contemporary worlds brought to life, with protagonists you're rooting for from beginning to end, with happy meet-cutes and established couples sorting through the differences between their races and cultures. Along the way, you'll encounter: an Indian girl who marries Hades; a Chinese boy who can't figure out what he did to get stuck with the ghost of the one pirate ancestor he has; a Black superhero dating a white cop's daughter; a boy who just wants something "gay and magical" at the bookstore; and more.
"Color Outside the Lines" is be a magical delight for readers of all ages and races.
