Color Outside the Lines
Color Outside the Lines: Stories about Love | Sangu Mandanna
4 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
This modern, groundbreaking YA anthology explores the complexity and beauty of interracial and LGBTQ+ relationships where differences are front and center. When people ask me what this anthology is about, I'm often tempted to give them the complicated answer: it's about race, and about how being different from the person you love can matter but how it can also not matter, and it's about Chinese pirate ghosts, black girl vigilantes, colonial India, a flower festival, a garden of poisons, and so, so much else. Honestly, though? I think the answer's much simpler than that. Color outside the Lines is a collection of stories about young, fierce, brilliantly hopeful people in love.--Sangu Mandanna, editor of Color outside the Lines With stories by: Samira Ahmed | Elsie Chapman | Lauren Gibaldi | Lydia Kang | Michelle Ruiz Keil | Lori Lee | Sangu Mandanna | L.L. McKinney | Anna-Marie McLemore | Danielle Paige | Karuna Riazi | Caroline Tung Richmond | Adam Silvera | Tara Sim | Eric Smith | Kelly Zekas & Tarun Shanker

Good read. Some of the short stories weren‘t that good, but there were enough great ones to make up for it. 4⭐️

Like a lot of anthologies, loved some of these shorts more than others, but found enough that I was really pleased to have it. A range of genres from historical to superheroes.

This delightful anthology of short stories is cute, adorable, sometimes funny, and full of love. Featuring diversity, race, and love across all sexualities, these stories have protagonists who are people of color, are usually in high school, and end often on a hopeful and happy note. This collection is excellent and highly recommended.
