A Little Something Different
Synopsis
Lea and Gabe are both in the same creative writing class, live in the same dorm, and keep running into each other around campus. They're clearly into each other — everyone can see it — except them. Neither Lea nor Gabe ever gets to narrate their own story. Instead, fourteen other voices tell it for them: roommates, friends, a professor, a bus driver, baristas, and even a park bench and a squirrel, all watching the world's most drawn-out will-they-won't-they play out.
A Little Something Different is a light, structurally playful romance that turns a simple campus crush into an ensemble comedy about how visible love is to everyone except the two people in it.
