A Little Something Different

This was another reread for me this week, and I picked it up because I was in the mood for a swoony read which wouldn't disappoint. What can I say, it lived up to its promise! This book follows Gabe and Lea, but you never see the story from their POV - it's told entirely from 14 other POVs. These POVs aren't limited to people who know Gabe and Lea, they also include strangers they interact with and a squirrel and a park bench of all things! I particularly adored the POV of the squirrel, it was so cute :)

This book is super cute and I couldn't put it down. It's sweet, fluffy and just what I needed! The diversity rep is pretty great, with Lea being Chinese and Gabe being hearing impaired. As a hearing impaired person myself, I particularly felt for Gabe having to experience this as a young adult and coming to terms with being hearing impaired. The whole being fitted for hearing aids thing was completely unrealistic though! You don't just have them sent out to you, it takes a lot of time to have them fitted to your specific needs! Despite that, this book hit the spot and I adored it - 4.5 stars.
