'A little something different'

I briefly mentioned the book 'A little something different' by Sandy Hall in a post a month or so back, and promised that I would write about it. So the time has finally come, with me getting on top of things (at last). It was an incredibly adorable book and uniquely written, with multiple viewpoints from the best friends, the brother, the creative writing professor, the bus driver, classmates, Starbucks workers, Chinese delivery guy, even a squirrel and a park bench, all of whom observing the relationship between two people, Gabe and Lea. University students Gabe and Lea, are both are extremely reserved and despite their obvious (I underline 'obvious' because it is plainly obvious for everyone who interacts with them) mutual attraction towards each other, they never do anything about it.

So while you are reading, you too can develop your own opinion about these two shy characters, and I for one got extremely frustrated with the two and wanted to jump into the story and cry out "WHY AREN'T YOU TOGETHER YET!? COME ON GUYS. MAKE A MOVE!" Which one of the characters voices my urge very nicely:

Gabe and Lea are meant to be together, and it is refreshing to be reading a book through the eyes of the people in their lives rather than through the eyes of the two protagonists. It really goes to show how people impact the lives of others.

As I said in the other post when I first mentioned this novel, I highly recommend this book to anyone who loved Rainbow Rowell's work, as it is an adorable narrative. I would rate it 9/10 and I once again want to give credit to Sandy Hall because it is written beautifully and is very distinctive. Not many people would be able to write in this particular style and get away with it, but she has created quite a special book.
