Eliza is in a full-blown panic. Her notebook has been stolen—the one that lists everything she wants but is afraid to go after. And the absolute worst person in the world has it: her ex-boyfriend, Cooper.
Like it’s not enough Cooper was lying to Eliza for their entire relationship, now he and his friends are blackmailing her. They’re giving her just one night to complete the most humiliating tasks on her list or they’ll post her secrets online—including the ones that aren’t just about her.
Eliza’s sure of only one thing: she isn’t going down without a fight. Cooper may have what’s left of her dignity, but she’s not the only one with something to hide …
Wow. Lauren Barnholdt has done it again! I have read one of Lauren Barnholdt’s other books, Two Way Street, more times than one probably should – I can’t help it, I just love it. And I feel that One Night That Changes Everything is going to be another of those books, that I love so much and can just reread it over and over.
I made the mistake of starting One Night That Changes Everything 45 minutes before I had to leave for work. The rest of the night I couldn’t concentrate because I just wanted to read more! When I got home I finished reading straight through – the writing was absolutely fantastic and I was instantly drawn in. Needless to say, I couldn’t put it down!
I found myself falling for Cooper right away, he was very swoonworthy. The entire book I was rooting for him. Eliza bugged me a bit at times. She was a great character, but her attitude irked me a bit at certain points. I loved her two best friends, Marissa and Clarice. They were so much fun!
I loved the story. It was mind games and facing your fears. As mean as it was for Eliza, it was so much fun to read about her facing her fears and see how everyone around her reacted. It left lots of room for drama, and drama is what readers get. Lauren Barnholdt really likes to make her characters suffer with all the different things she throws in.
This really is a book you will not want to miss. For Lauren Barnholdt fans, this is another stellar read. For those who haven’t read her books before, definately give it a try! I can’t wait to see what Lauren Barnholdt comes up with next.
After reading your review, how could I not want to read this? :P
I loved Two-Way Street, too, so I definitely want to read this one! It sounds completely addictive.
I never read a Lauren Barenholdt book now I really want to read this! Awesome review!
This sounds fantastic! Great review girly :)
