LOVE IN COLOR by Bolu Babalola is a beautiful new collection of retold folk tales and myths from around the world. All stories are love stories of some kind, often centering a strong and confident woman of color. These women resist their parents, their abusive husbands, or bad boyfriends, and break away to chart their own paths. They love themselves, their minds, their skin, and the shapes of their bodies. All women insist on being seen and being their authentic selves, and the reader loves them

This is a sweet little book of short stories. I enjoyed it. Charming and romantic.
A sampler of meet-cutes. Lovely retellings.
This was a bit of a slog for me to get through. I found every story to be intense, so it wasn’t a book I could read continuously one chapter to the next. I ended up breaking it down to no more than one a day.
