520    "From an exhilarating new voice comes a dazzling debut 
       novel about an Indian-American immigrant building a life 
       for herself in the Midwest-a brilliant and utterly 
       absorbing story of love, friendship, and precarity in 21st
       century America Graduating into the trough of yet another 
       American recession, Sneha is one of the fortunate ones. 
       However mind-numbing the work, her entry-level consulting 
       job is the key that unlocks every door: she can pick up 
       the check for her growing circle of friends in Milwaukee, 
       send money home to her parents in India, and dare to 
       envision a stable future for herself. She even begins 
       dating who she has long wanted-women-and soon develops a 
       crush on Marina, a beautiful dancer who always seems just 
       out of reach. But then, as quickly as it came together, 
       Sneha's life begins to fall apart. Her job and apartment 
       are both suddenly and maddeningly in jeopardy, and closely
       -guarded secrets and buried traumas resurface, sending her
       spiraling into shame and isolation. When a chance 
       encounter with Marina ignites an electric romance, it 
       looks like salvation-if only they can overcome the lie 
       that threatens to undo the trust they've built. A novel of
       working lives, friendships, and self-discovery in flux, 
       All This Could Be Different is a wry, intimate, and 
       redemptive exploration of the freedom and fragility of 
       youth, and what it means to devote oneself to others in 
       search of a better world"--|cProvided by publisher.
