Two years ago, when Eliza Sellman was in ninth grade, her dad found out he was being transfered and the family was going to move. Having always been shy and not so confident about her body, Eliza took that opportunity to start a list in her private notebook of all the things she planned on doing when she moved but had always been afraid to--like wearing a miniskirt and asking guys to dance; singing karaoke in front of strangers; posting a photo of herself on her Facebook wall in a bikini...you get the idea. New town, new Eliza, right? Well, she'll never know because the transfer fell through and they didn't move. But Eliza kept adding her goals and secret fears to the list in the notebook. Now it's two years later, and in that time Eliza has had and lost her first boyfriend. But this was more than your average breakup...turns out the sweet and cute Cooper was only dating her as a hazing stunt by a secret society. Eliza got her revenge by posting some pretty nasty (and only sort-of true) stuff about Cooper online. That posting has had major consequences and now Cooper and his buddies have stolen her private notebook and won't give it back until she performs all the things on her list in one night. It's torture...until Eliza steals something from the boys she knows they'll want to trade her notebook for. What starts out as a night of humiliation turns into a night of revelations as Eliza learns what Cooper was really thinking when they dated, the real reason he's stolen her notebook, and how freeing--and life-changing--it can be to do the things you fear the most.

Meinung zum Buch Am Anfang war ich wirklich skeptisch. Ich hätte Eliza am liebsten in den Hintern getreten für so viel Dämlichkeit, aber was will man machen. Ich hab weiter gelesen und mich Stellenweiße gewundert. Doch im Laufe des Buches sind mir Eliza und ihre Freundinnen doch ans Herz gewachsen u...
This book was at some moments fun. Especially in the beginning. For the rest? No.For something as precious to her as a notebook filled with secrets and things she wants, she is taking terrible care of it. Leaving it in a locker at school??? While you know you have problems with certain people? Why? ...
I remember reading "Two-Way Street" and liking it, so I inadvertently went into reading "One Night That Changes Everything" with more expectations than I have when randomly picking up books. It's a light read, perfect for unwinding. I liked that it was set in one night and with that, basically writt...
This was cute, but the narrator's voice is so childish that it's hardly believable. I kind of wanted to choke Eliza sometimes, but then I also kind of wanted to choke everyone else in the story, too. It was kind of neat to see her complete the tasks from Tyler since they were things she never wanted...
Consiglio a tutti la lettura della Barnholdt un vero genio nel creare YA romance, guys io adoro il genere chi legge le mie recensioni e mi segue ormai lo avrà capito, insolite e originali. Le sue storie non sono mai scontate, sono sempre piene di equivoci, battute, sarcasmo e scenari inverosimili ma...
