Color Outside The Lines is a YA short story collection with a common theme of love, more specifically love that challenges cultural and societal norms. This anthology was a quick, easy read, but there weren't any stories that stood out to me in particular. I have read quite a few short story collections this year and compared to those, this one was just okay. I would probably only go out of my way to recommend this title to someone who already loves this format and genre of literature.
