On the surface it is a simple enough love story, told often enough. Boy meets girl but it takes the entire film or book for them to tell each other how the feel. What made this book so enjoyable was seeing Gabe and Lea’s story unfold through 14 points of view, not all of them human or even animate objects.They are both so awkward and shy, both so insecure that they can’t see what everyone else sees and assumes. They have stories and rather than have it all out in the open in the beginning, we see only snippets, we only know the piece of the story that someone has witnessed or has been told.As the characters pass through the scenes in the story, we get to find out a little bit more. It is a literary game of tag, but instead of being it, the character tagged gets to reveal some of Gabe and Lea’s story until they in turn tag another character, so the story keeps moving along and is always fresh because the perspective changes so frequently.You gotta love Gabe. He seems kind of dorky, but right from the beginning, you know there is something up with him, but he doesn’t talk much, even to his friends. He’s got a lot of very personal stuff going on in his head and he keeps it to himself. It kept me wondering what could have possibly happened to damage him so badly. Why was he so awkward and quiet? Why would he not talk to anyone about what he was thinking? How could anyone be so clueless? But I routed him on because he was nice and polite, saying thank and please, but he was just so sad most of the time. And he would blush furiously and get flustered so he couldn’t speak. He liked this girl so much, but he just could never get up the courage to try to talk to her and I really wanted him to.Lea, while shy and insecure, is a bit more outgoing than Gabe. She notices him, watches him. She can’t help it. She gets frustrated because he never says much, so she tries to engage him in conversation, but it usually ends up being a one-sided conversation which becomes extremely awkward. When he reads an essay he wrote in class about how he is a shy guy, she finally starts to understand him. She, like Gabe, is a sweet person. She is pleasant to the people she encounters, our perspective characters, but she is also kind to animals. She made friends with a squirrel and often talks to him and give him crumbs. She is a very likeable person and people notice her. I like that she keeps making an effort to get Gabe to open up, but she often gets frustrated by his lack of communication. She really likes him, but she can’t tell if he really likes her or not because he seems to run hot and cold. He wants to be friendly, but then he ignores her. And I want her to get through to him, for him to open up to her because these two really just need to be together. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Little Something Different *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2014* 3.5/5 starsThis was such a lovely and cute read! I randomly picked this up, intending to read at least the beginning of it, but then I ended up getting through more than half of the book on the first day. I finished it within the second sitting (aka, today).For me, the different perspectives gives the story a different feel--in comparison to ones that are written in a narrative format from the protagonists: observing and on-the-side line. At the same time, it provided a sense of engagement and a kind of one-of-the-characters feel for which they all interacted with the Gabe and Lea (the two main characters). Out of all, my favorite perspective would probably be the creative writing professor's--Inga. Ones that follow close by includes the bench's, the squirrel's, and the barista's.Although, as I mentioned, it's interesting to read from multiple perspectives, it sort of took away how the story, characters, and plot would've developed (if it were told from the main protagonists' view points). For instance, what I noticed, from reading the book, was that it uses a lot of dialog. I understand that it's because this way, the main characters' thoughts and feelings can then be clearer for the readers, but at the same time, the side characters (the ones telling the stories) don't get as much development or depth.Overall, I did really enjoy reading "A Little Something Different". I wanted to read something that I could get into easily and get through in not a very large amount of time--while still liking what I was reading and this book did exactly that. I'm so glad I picked it up when I did. Definitely one of my favorite reads this year. ^.^*** ### ⭐⭐⭐ Very YA Book. *by Y***5 on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2014* Swoon Reads has caught my attention by the way that they choose their manuscripts to publish and since this is their first published work, I figured I would give it a read.Not what I expecting. It seems like the fact that there is 14 POVs throughout this book is a selling point. It was okay - but the bench and the squirrel could definitely be left out. They definitely didn't add any to the story. The chinese delivery guy was not believable - I don't see a boy meddling in life like that. Nor do I see Starbucks baristas caring much about Gabe and Lea. I could be wrong...but I could have done without them as well. I would have liked the POVs to be longer. Just as I am getting into the character telling the story, it stops and the character changes. Really distracting.I am glad that the author brought in some gay characters and also had Gabe suffering from something. Even though he feels like his world is ruined, I like that he understands it isn't and there were worst scenarios possible for him.I would like to have known Lea and Gabe's inner thoughts, not just their dialogue.The only thing that I had to do mentally while reading this book was replace college with high school. The characters do not seem to be like any that I know in college, they seem very naive. I know there are people out there like the characters in this book, however their mannerisms and the dialogue they use reminds me more of a freshman and junior in high school.It was a super fast read, and it kept my attention, when I remembered to pay attention to who's POV it was in.I'm happy with the way it ended. The last 1/3 of the book I felt was much more solid than the beginning. I think this is a good read for ages 12-16 or so. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/9220716-little-something-different](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/9220716-little-something-different) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
