An irresistibly sweet romance between two college students featuring misread signals, unheard confessions and one improbable meeting after another, told by everyone but them.Lea and Gabe can’t stop running into each other: creative writing classes, coffee shops, diners and dorm buildings—sometimes literally, spilling books and breakfasts amid hurried apologies and awkward silences. They’re interested, then infatuated, but too nervous to say so, much to the frustration of everyone watching.The creative writing teacher pushes them together. The Starbucks baristas watch with bated breath. The delivery guy assumes they’re a pair, the waitress automatically seats them together, and the bus driver tells stories about them to his wife. Even the squirrel living on the college green thinks they belong together.Despite the best efforts of their closest friends (and nudges from strangers), Lea and Gabe are the only ones who can’t see the chemistry. But as with any good love story, something has got to give.A Little Something Different brings a fresh twist on a swoon-worthy college love story, perfect for readers who are fans of: - Slow-burn romance - Meet Cutes Galore - Everyone knows they like each other (except them!) - College Dating - Lynn Painter - Ali Hazelwood

"It took me a while to read this book. I loved it. It is adorable and I just love the fact that the book is in different perspectives other than the main characters! It is so Visionary!"

"The more I read, the more painful this book became. The two "antagonists" of the couple, Victor and Hillary, were the two that would occasionally say things that made me go "Yes! Finally someone sane!" I didn't get what Lea and Gabe saw in each other and I understood even less why everyone wanted them together so badly. (The teacher struck me as particularly crazy--you set-up a couple every semester? And make assignments just to get them together? And hate on a girl on the class just because she stands in the way of this supposed true love???) This may have worked as a short story, but as a novel it had no weight to it; since we never get to hear Lea's or Gabe's perspectives they, and then the other characters the only thing we hear them talk about is Gabe and Lea, everyone seems rather shallow and lacking any complexity to them."

"This story shows that there is always more than one point of view. The quirkiness of it is charming, and makes for a smooth read. #youngadult #youngadultromance"
