Review: A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall
A Little Something Different is the debut novel from Sandy Hall and is, well, a little something different. Two creative writing students meet and fall in love. And we follow their journey not through their eyes, but through the eyes of a number of bystanders--their creative writing teacher, friends, a bus driver, the baristas at their local Starbucks and even a squirrel. This one is sweet story and very light reading, most suitable for anyone who is looking for a clean, transitional novel that bridges the gap between YA and adult commercial fiction. It is also great for anyone looking for a lighthearted read. The only drawback is that despite the novel being relatively short (244 pages,) it did seem to drag a little bit in places ... though this is not entirely unlike real live, where two shy people can often take a long time to admit their attraction to one another (if at all).
