Eliza's notebook is missing and it is not just any notebook. Her ex-boyfriend Cooper is the worst person ever and he has it. He lied about their entire relationship, now Cooper and his friends are blacking mailing her. She has one night to complete the most crazy task on her list or Eliza's notebook will be posted online. The secrets aren't all about her and the secrets will hurt more then just her. Cooper may have what’s left of her dignity, but she’s not the only one with something to hide…
I could really relate to Eliza. She was afraid of stuff that has made me afraid before. She was also sweet, smart, and funny. I also loved Cooper. He was really sweet, even though he seemed like a jerk to begin with. Eliza's friends were annoying at times, but they seemed to have a strong heart and cared for her at times. Cooper's friends were complete jerks and I wanted to punch them in the face. The plot was exciting. I wanted to run into the book and live through it. The book was so realistic. One Night That Changes Everything was really original, because it was not over the top. There were a few twist and turns in the book. Barnholdt is an amazing writer and I can't wait to read more books from her. I recommend this book to fans of Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti.
