Review: Color Outside The Lines: Stories About Love Anthology

Review 

I’m all about diversity which is why I wanted to read this anthology. In my opinion I find that the young adult genre does a great job with providing diverse stories. So as far as the anthology goes I liked some stories more than others. Some stories were well written and some stopped just when things got interesting. A few stories went right over my head. This anthology had a little bit of everything, historical, contemporary, fantasy.
