Color Outside the Lines

Stories about Love

By: Sangu Mandanna - Editor

Narrated by: Leila Buck, Catherine Ho, Laura Knight Keating, Maria Liatis, Sneha Mathan, Soneela Nankani, Neil Shah, Channie Waites

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

Heartwarming, adventurous, real

This is the book that so many young people have been waiting for! It’s so raw in the emotions it touches. Beautifully relevant for social issues faced by young people (and all people) in our world today. Each story fills the heart with wonder and the desire for the adventures of its characters to continue. Truly a book to turn to for comfort, a safe and happy escape. Each author and narrator brings their own special pizzazz to the stories. I will be recommending this book to all of my friends!
