ALL THE DIFFERENCE is an enchanting, beautifully crafted debut about the road not taken. You will find yourself turning pages compulsively until you learn which path pregnant P.R. executive Molly Sullivan takes. Does she say yes or no after her seemingly perfect boyfriend presents her with a huge diamond ring? I loved the premise of this novel.

i felt this book was very boring. i kept waiting for something interesting to happen. it was very predictable. I did not like the way this book was written, from different prespectives... I wouldn't recommed this book to anyone

Molly is pregnant. Molly's boyfriend proposes. The reader then gets to find out, "Sliding Doors" style what life for Molly would be like both if she said yes and if she said no.
In the yes scenario, Scott was so awful there was no way I could have been happy with her ending up with him. My fear, as I read it, was that in the end I'd find out what she actually decided and, if she said yes, hate that they ended up together or, if she said no, feel like I read the same book twice. I was pleasantly surprised that the author wrote it in such a way that you never found out. That portion was very well done.
Two things I didn't love:
There were times when there seemed to be unnecessary set-up. For example, in the January No chapter, Molly speaks of the trip she and Scott would have been taking together next month had they stayed together. But when you read the following February Yes chapter there's no mention of it.
Secondly, I found the Liam portions to be poorly done and, again, unnecessary. The first two mentions of Liam's name were so late in the book and brief that I thought it was a typo and perhaps the Scott character had been originally called Liam. The fact that Molly didn't seem the least bit bothered by the fact that Liam had left her for an old girlfriend made it seem that either she wasn't all that into him or he wasn't worth being with in the first place. Either way her thinking so highly of him didn't make a lot of sense. I think his last lines to her were intended to make us feel that he values what a strong, capable, independent woman she is, when in reality it just made him look like a player.

Wow. What a book! It really gets you thinking!
It’s New Year’s Eve and thirty-year old Molly is getting ready to go out with her boyfriend, Scott. She literally “just” found out she’s pregnant that morning, she hasn’t told a soul yet, so no one knows except her toilet bowl at home and the one at work, and yet Scott proposes to her right after midnight. Wow!
We don’t hear an answer except for every other chapter and the way it is written. Every other chapter is written as if Molly answered with a YES or if she answered with a NO. This book and the way it is written is quite brilliant! It is extremely UNIQUE! We get to find out what happens if Molly answers YES or if she answers NO, and believe me, with EITHER answer, neither is easy.
This is a book that deserves to be read especially if you’ve never had children yet, had kids and are maybe thinking of having more, or if you are done and an ‘oops happens (God forbid!).
Eventually this story does play out with Molly’s real answer, one you’ve really been reading all along but you just don’t know it yet! I’m NOT saying a word except that I’ve never really thought about ALL the repercussions either way, if you’re single, engaged or married. It’s quite eye opening!
I’ll promise you one thing - my lips are sealed!
I would like to thank the publisher, Berkley, for providing me with this book for review purposes!

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.

This book was an extremely easy read though I found it difficult to want to read because I found all the characters just so thoroughly unlikeable. The protagonist was really horrible. She was self-righteous, whiney and just rude. I feel like the author wanted the reader to hate the (sometimes) fiancé, but all I could do was pity the character. He wasn't a horrible person, insecure and entitled, yes, but not a horrible person, despite how often we were assured by the other characters that he was awful. The best friend was a nightmare as well, with her husband being just kind of pathetic. The secondary love story felt so contrived, with no proper build up, just random name dropping and a two paragraph back story so we knew that he would obviously play back into the story.

This book follows a professional woman who finds herself unexpectedly in the family way on New Years Eve. The father, an on again, off again lover proposes on that evening before he knows about the baby. The premise is what that one little "yes" or "no" answer does to change the course of your life. The book alternates chapters between "if she said yes" and "if she said no". It was an interesting format that gave you two entirely different stories. Should she have said "yes" even though she was unsure of the guy, or should she follow what her head is saying and go with the "no"? You'll have to read for yourself to find out the answer!

In All the Difference, Leah Ferguson’s thoughtful and heartfelt debut, I found myself drawn into the parallel lives of a heroine struggling to navigate the thorny ground between following her heart and living up to the expectations of others. With a refreshingly down-to-earth style, Ferguson offers us a front row seat to an emotional tug of war as Molly Sullivan wrestles with clinging to the less than perfect life she knows, and trading that life for one that will require sacrifice, change, and ultimately, growth. I devoured every word, and thoroughly enjoyed being a part of Molly journey.

I was hooked from the start. It was easy to be drawn into Molly's world as her life took two different paths after Scott asked her to marry him. Always secretly hoping for one outcome, I soon realised it wasn't as clear-cut as all that. I felt like I was on the journey with her, and loved how the author portrayed the trials and tribulations of being pregnant while juggling work and everything life threw at Molly. I almost felt I was reliving childbirth in one chapter - that's how well this book is written.
I am looking forward to more books from this author.

Leah Ferguson's debut novel is a page turner. I was eager to find out Molly's choice and what path she took with her life. This is a great book for women's fiction fans.

So proud of my friend's debut novel! I don't typically read women's fiction as it is not my favorite genre. But a pleasurable and thoughtful read as I dabble into this genre.

Audio. No redeeming characters
October 25, 2017
I loved this book! The story opens with Molly discovering that she’s accidentally pregnant, and then at the New Year’s Eve party that night her boyfriend proposes to her. The rest of the book then alternates between the two scenarios depending on whether she says yes or no. I found myself equally invested in both stories and quickly turning the pages to see what she would do.
I loved how real all the characters and their storylines felt, including Molly’s best friend and her own issues with her husband. The book explores so many themes of marriage, career, motherhood, and women’s roles and choices in life, and I agonized right along with Molly when she was making her choices. Without giving anything away, I especially loved the ending because sometimes life happens exactly as it should. I can’t wait to read this author’s next book!
If you enjoyed the movie Sliding Doors and like thoughtful women’s fiction (a la Emily Giffin), I highly recommend this book.

He gets down on one knee and pops the question. If you say Yes...life goes one way....if you say No....life goes another way. The concept is fun, I always enjoy Quantum Leaps, time travel, alternate universes, what if I had done this, the buttefly effect etc. etc. etc.
The style of this book was clever, alternating chapters between the two lives. I could see how it could be confusing for the reader, but it didn't bother me.
As far as characters, neither character was really likeable. Scott had no redeeming qualities except that he was rich and hot. And his dialogue was completely over the top and not realistic. But maybe that's the point. So all of that kept making me wonder why Molly stuck with him for 3 years.
I enjoyed the audio and it helped pass the time on a long drive.

I read ALL THE DIFFERENCE over the course of a few days, but the story stayed with me long after I finished. She captured the feelings of impending motherhood with amazing clarity along with the struggle women face in trying to balance career and being a parent. The story structure was very engaging and hooked me right away. Who hasn’t had a moment where they wonder what would have happened if they had made a different decision? This book provides a unique perspective on that premise. Definitely will recommend to friends and family.

I started this book about 5 times before I was able to get into it far enough to keep going. Once into it, I loved the story. I love stories that go down two different paths to show the road not taken and this one did a nice job of showing the character development that can happen - even over a one year period.
September 17, 2019
Loved the format of the book- alternating chapters between 2 different lives based on 1 big decision! Was entertaining to see how her two paths converged and differed and by the end of the book you'll find yourself having decided which is the path she should take! I was rooting for Molly throughout the whole book-such a likeable and relatable character! Hoping for a sequel!

This is a delightful read-- perfect beach reading. I love the format of the book- going back and forth between two realities. Nothing deep or life-changing here, but an enjoyable way to spend time with a book.

I enjoyed the concept of this book. What happens when you make just one choice and how that differs. But the ending being for “both” choices felt a bit off and I was definitely a bit annoyed by all the weirdly specific music and song names throughout the book. It felt jarring during the plot.
January 20, 2019
I really liked this book. It was a little confusing at times with the bouncing between 2 storylines (saying “yes” or saying “no”), but I enjoyed the characters! I especially loved Molly’s friend, Jenny. I loved how the author portrayed that friend relationship between the 2 women. Having been in that situation myself with a friend, I know it can be awkward & difficult on so many levels. I also loved that it was set in Philly, as I live just down the road from there & am very familiar with the area. It’s always fun to read about places you know! I would definitely read this again!

A great quick read. I love the alternating “yes” and “no” chapters that show both sides to the story!

This book was very boring.

Molly recently found out she was unexpectedly pregnant, very soon after her boyfriend proposes to her. This is before she has even told him about the baby. She has a decision to make. Does she want to marry him? After that the chapters rotate between what happens if she says yes and what happens if she says no.
If she says no, she is going to be a single mom. And it's hard, she has to figure out how she is going to work and make money to pay the bills while worrying about daycare and who is going to watch the baby while she is at work. On this side of the story you see her family and friends rally around her, support her, and help her get back on her feet.
If she says yes, she will be married. She won't have to worry about money as he makes decent money at his job and his family comes from money. However, he's not the best guy. He drinks, he's bossy, his family has money but it comes with strings. Does she really want to basically be pushed around? She loves her job and it goes from her working, making her own money, to him suggesting she be a stay at home mom, which for her she doesn't want to do.
It was a nice story, even though between the two choices it was pretty clear which was the right one. Spoiler: he's a loser and I don't know why she was ever with him.

All The Difference

Synopsis:
New Year’s Eve. A time for resolutions. A chance to make a change. And for thirty-year-old Molly Sullivan, a night that will transform her life forever…
All it takes is one word—yes or no—to decide Molly’s future. As the clock counts down to midnight and the ball slowly begins to drop, Molly’s picture-perfect boyfriend gets down on one knee and asks her to marry him. She knows she should say yes, especially considering the baby-sized surprise she just discovered she’s carrying. But something in her heart is telling her to say no…
Now, Molly’s future can follow two very different paths: one where she stays with her baby’s father, despite her misgivings and his family’s unreasonable expectations, and one where she ventures out on her own as a single mother, embracing all the hardships that come with it.
And by the time the next New Year is rung in, Molly will know which choice was right—following her head or listening to her heart… (Goodreads)
Review:
Molly Sullivan finds herself at a New Year’s Eve party with her on again-off again boyfriend, Scott, and some other friends. She expects the party to be like any other they have attended, a few drinks, a few laughs and a fun time with friends. What she does not expect is to see Scott get down on one knee and pop the question. She could not be anymore surprised if he turned into a martian right before her eyes. Now she has a decision to make, should she say yes or no. Her answer will her shape her life in ways she has not even considered.
I think this book is very cleverly written. The chapters alternate between if she says no or if she says yes. The chapters follow how her life would be traveling down each path. I just love this. Each problem she encounters are shown in both ways. Obstacles such as where to live, what name she should take if she gets married, should she continue to work or be a stay at home mom, and daycare are considered and attempted to be overcome. I think the author choose some very real and difficult dilemmas facing a new mom, whether she is married or single. I thought that made the book modern and pertinent for today’s society. Who does not wonder what their live would be like if different decisions had been made in the past? I think this book is a great example of “what could have been”.
Another subject that the author brought to light is that of infertility. When Molly finds herself pregnant and learns that her best friend, Jenny, has been unable to conceive, Molly feels very guilty. Their relationship becomes strained and Molly does not know what to do to make it better. Infertility affects thousands of couples and is definitely a tough thing to deal with, and I thought that it was portrayed in this book realistically. I like that attention was given to this.
The characters are well developed, well rounded and three dimensional. It is very easy to like Molly and care about what happens to her. I could almost feel her angst when trying to decide what she should do and I could understand her confusion about what life path she should follow. As an outsider reading about her dilemma, to me it was easy to pick the path I thought was right. Scott was someone I would like to smack upside his head and tell him to grow up. The author did a great job creating a character that was so easy to dislike.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well crafted women’s contemporary. So many times while I was reading this, I wanted to turn to the back of the book to see what she decides to do. But I did not do that, and you should not either, although I think you will be tempted to do just that. Not knowing made the book suspenseful and added another layer of enjoyment to the book.

Cute story about what your choices can mean for your life’s outcome
March 2, 2017
Pretty god chic lit.
February 17, 2016
I waited for this book for months from the library. So when it finally came, I was so excited. But it didn't end up being nearly as enjoyable as I thought it would be.
First off, I felt that the reader's opinion of Scott was switched too quickly Almost immediately when we begin seeing the two possible futures, he becomes childish and selfish and basically horrible. There was no doubt about which path you wanted Molly to take. I expected to be unsure at least for a little while.
Next, I feel like we didn't actually get to know Liam at all. First, Molly would just longingly think about how her life would be better with him and ultimately, I think we're supposed to root for them to end up trying their relationship again. But he was barely a character. He just wasn't Scott so we liked him. He had left Molly for his ex previously though....
Honestly, I think the book might have been better if the two paths we followed were if Molly stayed with Scott and if she had stayed with Liam and was having his kid. That also might have made the book a little happier. I didn't find it funny at all and in both universes I just felt bad for Molly most of the time.
That all being said, I did like the fact that I could relate to lots of the book. There was the protagonist who shares my name and my passion for wandering the shelves at B&N with a latte in her hand. Then, Dan was reciting Queen Mab. I'll be playing Mercutio in a couple months so I was seeing a lot of mirroring.
I think ultimately, I just expected this to a be a lighter, funnier, more romantic "rom-com" of a book like Put a Ring On It which I read last year. And when it wasn't, and after I'd waited for it for so long, I was a little disappointed.

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.

--"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.
