Book Review time
All the Stars!!!!
I had the pleasure of reading an ARC of It’s Different This Time and absolutely devoured it. If you love the magic of New York City in the fall, a slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance, and a touch of second-chance heartbreak, this book is for you.
richard weaves the story through dual timelines—seamlessly moving between June and Adam’s past and present—which adds so much depth and emotional weight to their journey. The tension, the nostalgia, the unspoken longing… it all feels so real and beautifully layered.
What amazed me most is that this is Richards’ debut novel. The writing is confident, warm, and deeply affecting, with characters who linger long after you turn the last page. This is a love story that feels both timeless and fresh, and I’ll be recommending it to every romance reader I know♥️
