one night that changes everything by lauren barnholdt

So I can relate to Eliza in that sense of feeling violated. This kinda sorta happened to me the summer before I started high school, though not in quite the same way, when some classmates moved into my house uninvited while my family was on vacation and found my journal.

I literally didn’t put it down until I read it all.I found the premise of the story terrifying: someone finding your notebook filled with pretty much every secret desire and all the fears you’ve had over the past few years. Okay, I’m not gonna lie: I read this book in about two hours. 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.

It's torture.until Eliza steals something from the boys she knows they'll want to trade her notebook for. 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. Eliza got her revenge by posting some pretty nasty (and only sort-of true) stuff about Cooper online. 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. Now it's two years later, and in that time Eliza has had and lost her first boyfriend.

But Eliza kept adding her goals and secret fears to the list in the notebook. New town, new Eliza, right? Well, she'll never know because the transfer fell through and they didn't 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. 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.
