What do yellow paint buckets, school buses, and church potlucks have in common? For Anna, they all exist to make her life miserable. Back in NYC, 17 year old Anna Capelle could be openly queer and alternative in peace. But when her father becomes ill and the whole family relocates to quiet New Hope, Connecticut - everything changes. Now it's all school bus politics, mean girl cliques, and her mother's annoying attempts to turn her into a proper young lady. Worst of all, New Hope can't seem to offer her a decent cup of coffee anywhere! Just as she's starting to get her bearings, settle in, and finally make a few friends - her home life shatters. This was a quality read, one that I thoroughly enjoyed. It's theme of outcasts not fitting into the white picket fence society they've been thrust into is relatable and completely evokes a contrast against a monochrome life, as title suggests. -- Robert Relyea
