As I began reading Everything Has Changed by Mia Kayla I found myself not being able to read for very long at a time because I felt this nervous, jittery feeling and would have to put the book away. Why? I was so enamored with these characters from the very beginning and I felt that at any moment one of them, mostly Jimmy, would do something totally stupid and it would be hard for them to redeem themselves in my mind. You know the scenario, girl/boy secretly loves best friend but doesn't want to tell them so they apparently feel the need to sleep around to justify it. This drives me CRAZY sometimes! Without giving too much away, I will say my fears were unwarranted and I just might have loved the characters even more by the end of the story. The story is your predictable Fall-In-Love-With-Your-Best-Friend-But-Can't-Tell-Them romance but the author added enough "What?!?" moments to keep me reading. I might have even teared up at one point in the story. I recommend this book if you love Best-Friends-to-Lovers story. Steamyness is mild with one tastefully written scene.
Bliss Carrington has known Jimmy most of her life, since
Kindergarten to be exact. He took on the role of the big brother Bliss never
had, breaking Bliss out of her shy shell, encouraging her to have fun in high
school, and pushing her to live her life. It’s always been friendship between
them until one day, she realized, it wasn’t. Now seeing women everywhere swoon
over Jim Brason, NFL's head quarterback of the New York Cougars, is enough to
drive her to madness.
Jim Brason, an alpha whore, is on a fast track to fame and
money. In all this craziness, the one person who keeps him sane, keeps him
whole is Bliss. He’s been in love with her since before forever, but she
doesn’t know and can never find out. He’s a firm believer that history repeats
itself. With his tainted past, he’s afraid he’s fated to hurt her if he allows
himself to follow his heart.
Bliss watched this boy grow into a man and it wasn’t fair
that someone else would get to keep him when in her heart, she knew he only
ever belonged to her.
Can their friendship survive? Can she live pining over a guy
who will never commit? She doesn’t want to live like this, but she doesn’t know
a life without him either.
EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED is a story of Love, Loss, and Longing
for the boy you grew up loving.
