They get the same pop culture references, order the same Chinese food, and hang out in the same places. Unfortunately, Lea is reserved, Gabe has issues, and despite their initial mutual crush, it looks like they are never going to work things out. But somehow even when nothing is going on, something is happening between them, and everyone can see it. You'll be rooting for Gabe and Lea too, in Sandy Hall's quirky, completely original novel A Little Something Different, chosen by readers, writes, and publishers, to be the debut titles for the new Swoon Reads imprint!

"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"
