Love in Colour is a collection of short stories reimagined from ancient myths from around the world and it was genuinely so exciting to read, coming from a reader who doesn't enjoy the romance genre this much, I make an exception with this book.

The stories are told from female perspectives and portray women redefining what love means to them in a way that complements their strength.

I loved the representation in this book, it pays homage to many different cultures and within its stories there is also chronic condition and queer rep which really helped cement the ethos of this book which is to explore the muti-facted nature of love.

The writing is so beautiful and lush (it initially seemed a bit superfluous in Osun's story) but overall Babalola's use of language is so artful, she made me believe it even with the much cheesier 'new tales.'

I loved each and every story in this book but Siya's story took my breath away.
