Clever Story Telling Technique
Every few years a new wave of storytelling washes in. We've read paranormal romances; dystopian fare; and the John Green first person angsty influence. Publishing houses are now looking for something a little different and this fits the bill. Instead of hearing from our main characters, at least 10 narrators (I lost count) tell the story of Gabe and Lea, two college students destined for a relationship. They never speak directly to each other.
It's a little confusing at first to keep track, but you can see why they were chosen. To move the couple around campus, you needed the waitress, Starbucks barista, bus driver, teacher, and friends. A few could have been cut out, for example the squirrel. Yes, I did say squirrel.
While this book didn't blow me away story-wise and I wasn't completely invested in why Lea and Gabe were a good fit, I was impressed with Hall's technique. Clever idea and an interesting read just to see how she pulls it off. Be on the lookout for more like this, especially third person POVs.
It IS different and an enjoyable listen
What did you like best about A Little Something Different? What did you like least?
A Little Something Different lives up to its name. A romance told from everyone's point of view EXCEPT the two involved in the romance was different enough for me to give it a try. I don't know that it necessarily worked for me. The writing is crisp and the characters interesting, but I just never felt invested in Gabe and Lea's relationship. I couldn't even figure out why anyone else, other than the best friend and brother, cared either. Maybe it's because I never got their point of view, that I never really connected with either of them.
And while neither Gabe nor Lea is particularly all that likeable, the rest of the cast, those who narrate the story of Gabe and Lea, were so interesting, I couldn't help but continue on. I listened to the audiobook and it's narrated by two different voiceover actors. I thought Will Damron did a great job. He had a wonderful way of inflecting the different personalities into each of his characters. But Amy Rubinate sounded the same with every point of view.
