Paisley Morro has been in love with Eli since she was thirteen years old. But being his best friend and wingman, while keeping her feelings under wraps, has grown more difficult with every passing year and every new woman in his life. After twelve years, Paisley is tired of the constant heartache and has finally decided it's time to lay all her feelings on the table.
Eli Jenkins has the life: his dream job, countless beautiful women, and a best friend who's the one he counts on for everything else. One conversation, however, threatens to not only change everything between them, but possibly cause Eli to lose the only girl who has ever meant anything to him.
When a family tragedy forces Eli to take a hard look at his life, he realizes life without Paisley isn't a life at all. Only now, he may be too late.
I love Eli and Paisley. Although, I did want to smack Eli a few times. I loved that these two best friends were able to figure their stuff out. Eli is sooo swoonworthy, I would be his siren whenever he wanted. Paisley seemed like this cute innocent girl, but forget that…you get her behind closed doors and she comes alive.
Changing Everything was hot! I almost forgot I was reading a Molly McAdams book a couple of times. Honestly though, this was a perfect novella. I loved that we got to hear from Eli, since I loved him in Forgiving Lies and Deceiving Lies. He was everything I thought he'd be, and Paisley is the perfect soul mate for him. If you love friends turned lovers, you must read this.
~ Review by Keisha
There's nothing like your first love. Even if it's your best friend, even if it's unrequited. That's the premise for Molly McAdams newest offering, Changing Everything.
Paisley has been in love with her best friend, Eli for as long as she can remember. She knows he loves her too, but she's strictly been relegated to the dreaded friend-zone. She's his wingman. Until one night Paisley meets someone that changes everything and she knows she needs to lay the cards on the table for Eli. Will he ever see her as more than his bestie?
Molly McAdams knows how to hit you with those punch-to-the-gut emotions. The angst, the heartbreak and the ultimate payoff, love. Although this is a novella and a fairly quick read, don't let the page count fool you. This little story has everything readers expect from one of Molly's books. It's clear to see why she's on a lot of reader’s favorite author lists. I adored this story and as always look forward to whatever Molly has to throw at me in the future.
~ Review by Erin
“Where are you going again?”
“Oh my God, Eli, for the fiftieth time … I’m going to a bonfire with a bunch of my cousins and their friends.”
“And you didn’t invite me?”
I stopped walking and just stood there staring off at the ocean. “Talking to you is like talking to a child, Eli Jenkins! You’ve asked that in that exact same wounded voice every time I’ve told you what I’m doing today. And for the last time, I didn’t invite you because the last time you saw my cousins you pulled a Will Ferrell … except it worked.”
“It’s not my fault your cousins were wasted and actually thought we were going streaking, and ended up getting busted by the cops.”
“Well, that’s not how they feel about it.”
Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughters. When she's not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies, fried pickles and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm ... or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.
