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.

Oh the joys of watching the
man you love get ready to take another woman home … especially when she’s one
bad dye job away from being an Oompa-Loompa.
Here’s a little snippet from
CHANGING EVERYTHING for y’all! Enjoy!
“Pay!”
“Oh no,” I breathed, and looked at Kristen to act like I hadn’t
heard Eli. “If he makes me play pool with him while he makes out with another
girl again, I will lose it!”
“He’s smiling, at least he didn’t see you moping—and he’s
walking over here. With her. Right now. He’s—”
“Pay, we’re gonna head out, were you ready to leave?”
I turned to look at them with a smile plastered on my face, but
it was entirely possible I looked like I was grimacing. “Well … ” I began, but
the girl in Eli’s arms held up her hand.
She made a sickened face as her head jerked up to look at Eli,
then back at me. Long seconds passed as she looked me up and down with her lips
parted in disgust. “Um … ew! I’m,
like, not really into that whole threesome thing. So gross. Yano?”
I wanted to remind her that “you” and “know” were two separate
words … but with the way she looked, I was surprised she knew that Eli plus her
plus me equaled three and not the color burrito, so I kept that to myself.
Eli’s face pinched together like he’d eaten something sour, and
before he said something that would inevitably crush me even more tonight, I
tried to speak his latest pick’s language.
“Ohmigod, like, ew, right?”
Kristen’s hand flew to her mouth as beer sprayed out, and Eli’s
lack-of-amused expression let me know that he knew what I was doing.
At least I didn’t feel like I was going to throw up anymore.
“Threesomes are so way gross,” I continued, not like I’d know.
But the girl nodded her head and pursed her lips.
“So, like, is she gonna watch?” she asked, and it took
everything in me not to shoot Eli a look that said: Really? This is what you
want?
Excerpt #2
“WE’RE GOING STREAKING!”
Here’s a little snippet from
CHANGING EVERYTHING for y’all! Enjoy!
“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.”
Excerpt #3
Eli, Eli, Eli … bad move.
Here’s a little snippet from
CHANGING EVERYTHING for y’all! Enjoy!
“Don’t
you have a shirt you can put on?”
Stepping
up behind her, I rested my chin on top of her head and picked at the pastry
she’d just pulled out of the bag. “I do, but you woke me up.”
“I
woke you up? I’m late. And your head is heavy,” she grumbled.
I put
more pressure on her head and she elbowed my stomach. “What’s this?” I asked,
and pointed at the wrapped sandwich she’d just set down.
“There
are two sausage English muffins for you.”
“Do
they have—”
“Extra
cheese? Yes, they do.”
I
hugged her waist tightly. “You’re the best.” Grabbing one of the sandwiches, I
unwrapped it and held it in front of her so she could have the first bite
before taking my own. “I forgot it was Sunday,” I mumbled around the food.
She
laughed and started to unwrap her own sandwich. “Good thing it was my week to
get food or I’d be sitting at my apartment starv— Wait. If I woke you up, why
are you in jeans?”
“I
could’ve walked out here naked.”
Her
body went stiff. “You don’t sleep naked.”
I
pointed in the direction of my room with my sandwich. “Carrie’s here.”
“Who’s
Carrie?”
“The
girl from the bar a few weeks ago.”
“There
are a lot of girls from O’Malley’s when it comes to you, Eli,” she countered.
“Ouch.
The girl from the night of my birthday.”
“Oompa-Loompa?”
“Pay,”
I growled in warning.
Paisley
pushed against the island, trying to move me away. “Move, I need to leave.”
“No,
you don’t.”
“You
have a girl in your bed who is probably as naked as you were five minutes ago.
I should not be here when she wakes up.”
“And
you’re my best friend and it’s Sunday morning. This is our tradition and she’s
not going to stop it because I forgot what today was.”
“Eli,
let me go!” she hissed and jammed both her elbows into my stomach.
I
bent forward as I took a step back. “Fuck, Pay!”
“Language!
Let the Oompa-Loompa eat my breakfast, she’ll think you did something nice for
her.” She took three steps away from me before I was able to grab her hand to
stop her. Turning quickly, she stepped back up to me and tried to get in my
face. All five feet of her. “Do you know how horrible you look when you do
things like this to all these girls?” she seethed. “You’re twenty-five, Eli,
grow up and stop being such a whore! Stop treating every girl you meet like all
she is to you is your next lay. Stop letting
them all be your next lay! Find someone who you actually want to spend your
time with and—”
“Ohmigod.
Are you, like, everywhere?”
Paisley
whipped her head to the side to look at Carrie, but I couldn’t take my eyes off
of Pay. Where was this coming from? She’d joked about all the girls I slept
with, but she’d never flipped out on me like this.
“Did
I interrupt something?” Carrie gasped and shrieked, “I knew it! You are fucking her!”
Paisley
scoffed and met my gaze. “No, he’s not. That should be obvious since I’m still
around and none of the other girls are.”
