Publisher's Summary:
Former Marine and lower-leg amputee Carey Everett keeps a grueling schedule of counseling fellow war veterans and their families. The injury he received in Afghanistan forces him to rely on a reserve of strength he didn't even know he had. A much deserved vacation will let him reconnect with his best friend, who saved his life and has been there for him through devastating injury and painful recovery.
Part-time EMT and aspiring singer Jase DeSantis has been in love with Carey for years, but he's come to accept that his straight friend will never be able to offer more. Jase fills his days with band rehearsals, ambulance shifts, and willing groupies, all while trying to cope with debilitating PTSD.
A week of sun, fun, and music in San Diego changes Jase and Carey's lives forever when their relationship takes an unexpected turn. Jase has been longing for that change, but it leaves Carey reeling with confusion. As Jase fights to hold things together, Carey deals with doubts, fears, and his own preconceived notions about labels and the true nature of love.
Members Reviews:
Great Book!
This book was sweet and romantic. A nice progression from friends to lovers. And gotta love some hot between the sheets loving.
Good story, not sold on the narration
Would you consider the audio edition of Everything Changes to be better than the print version?
I didn't read this one, perhaps I should though, because the story itself was more appealing than the narration.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I can't pick just one, I really enjoyed both Carey and Jase. If I'm backed into a corner I'll Carey because of his resilience for what he's been through and his determination. I really felt for Jase though, after, you know.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Robert Nieman?
I would, yes. I've learned that with this narrator I either love his performance, or I don't, there's no in between. I think that maybe if he himself is more invested in the characters it seems to flow better. Perhaps he can relate more so to certain characters and stories.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The PTSD aspect of the story felt real, researched, accurate and heart breaking.
Any additional comments?
Loved the Gay for You aspect to the story, the early days of the relationship and the care taken when writing about Carey's PTSD. I didn't like it when Carey broke Jase's trust, the way he treated him at times and the flip from friends to lovers, then the betrayal, for some reason the story didn't feel as real to me anymore after that.
Enjoyable Read!
Would you listen to Everything Changes again? Why?
I usually don't re-read books.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I enjoyed both Jace and Kerry as characters. The felt real and true to me based on what they had both been through.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
In my opinion, Kerry's voice just didn't fit his personality. It sounded very soft and not at all like a straight wounded vet, but more like an out and proud gay man, especially during the sex scenes, sex scenes he was supposedly experiencing for the first time.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. I listened to it in one hour increments during my morning runs.
Any additional comments?
So first let me say I really enjoyed this audio book.
