I'm not going to lie, when I started this book, I wasn't sure if I was going to finish it, but I'm so happy I did. We all wonder what would happen if we took a different path, and this book shows Molly's possibility down two roads.

I admire Molly for dealing with all the crap she has to deal with in general. She's a strong character, and is bound and determined to do things on her own. She has to decide if she is going to say yes or no to her boyfriend's proposal. Each decision has its own hardships.

One thing that I loved is that Molly manages to bring herself out of each situation. She may lose herself at times, but she doesn't let that kill her determination. Molly also has an amazing support system. Her friends are there for her, even when they go through their own drama. And I adore Molly's parents. They are a great of example of relationships that work.

I despised Molly's boyfriend Scott. He is so hard to hate. He's arrogant, an asshole a lot of the time, and just grated on my nerves.

Which path will she choose.... which will lead her to happiness?… (lisätietoja)

I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
--"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

Molly Sullivan has a choice to make. Her on-again-off-again boyfriend purposes to her on New Year's Eve. Which seems pretty romantic, except Molly isn't sure he's right for her. However, there's a wrench in this situation: Molly is pregnant. So she has a choice to make. Say yes, and try to live happily ever after with Mr. Maybe. Or say no, and travel a much more difficult path.

In All the Difference by Leah Ferguson we get to see both sides of the coin. You get to see the consequences that occur when she says both yes and no to Scott. And that is one of the reasons why I enjoyed this book. With alternate chapters for each decision, both story lines are too captivating to look away from the page.

All the Difference seemed to pull out lots of emotions from me. It's a heartwarming tale that reminds us that even though there is one path of life, how we choose to follow it is up to us.

"No one should trip over a branch in the road twice during the same walk. You fell once, brushed yourself off, and learn to watch where you were going."

"And the music, of course," she'd said, laughing. You can't forget the music when you travel."

This book is also reminiscent of the movie, which I adore, Sliding Doors. So if you're a fan of the movie, I think you'd also like this book. And if you're not a fan of the movie, read the book anyway. You won't regret it.

Right from the very beginning Molly showed that she could stand on her own two feet. This is what I liked the most about her. She did not feel sorry for herself and could back up her words. Although my only down fault with Molly is her choice when it came to Scott. I am not going to say anything else about it as I don't want to give anything away. Yet, I felt that Molly handled the situation regarding her relationship like a grown up. The only moment that Molly freaked out when it came to the news about her pregnancy is when she first learned about it and turned into "clean freak lady". I can't fault Molly as I might have done the same thing. There is something actually smoothing about cleaning.

There was a comment that I thought was great that came out of Molly's mouth. It was when she was confronted by her boss for forgetting a meeting. She said "Even Wonder Woman had to lose her golden tiara now and again, right?"

Author, Leah Ferguson show cases a strong debut with this book. I am looking forward to more great things from this author.… (lisätietoja)
