A novel about love, fate and second chances by the author of the warm, witty and wise 'Book Of Joe'.
'Everything Changes' is Jonathan Tropper's second book to be published by Bantam (his third novel). It's the story of twenty-something Zachary King, a man to all appearances with luck on his side. He has a steady, well-paying job, a rent-free Manhattan apartment and Hope, his stunning, blue-blooded fiancé, who is smart, sexy and completely out of his league. But as the wedding looms, Zack finds himself haunted by the memory of his best friend, Rael, killed in a car crash two years earlier, and by his increasingly complicated feelings for Tamara, the beautiful widow Rael left behind.
Then Norm, Zack's freewheeling, Viagra-popping father, resurfaces after a twenty-year absence, looking to make amends. Norm's overbearing, often outrageous efforts to reestablish ties with his sons infuriate Zack, and yet, despite twenty years of bad blood, he finds something compelling in his father's maniacal determination to transform his own life.
Inspired by Norm, Zack boldly attempts to make some changes of his own. The results are calamitous. Soon fists are flying, his love life is a shambles, and his once carefully structured existence is spinning hopelessly out of control.
Charged with intelligence and razor-sharp wit, 'Everything Changes' is at once hilarious, moving, sexy and wise, a work of transcendent storytelling from an exciting new talent.
