About this book

Book Summary

A "warm, winning tale" (Booklist, starred review) about love, loss, and the perils of a well-planned life, from the New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where I Leave You.

To all appearances, Zachary King is a man with luck on his side: a well-paying job, a rent-free Manhattan apartment, and Hope, his smart, sexy fiancée who is completely out of his league. But as their wedding day looms, Zack finds himself wondering if it all might be a big mistake. Then Norm—Zack's freewheeling, Viagra-popping father—resurfaces after a twenty-year absence, looking to make amends. Norm's often outrageous efforts to reestablish ties with his son infuriate Zack, and yet 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, and the results are instantly calamitous.

Charged with intelligence and razor-sharp wit, Everything Changes is a work of transcendent storytelling from a writer of rare talent.

Media Reviews

"Jonathan Tropper is the new breed of novelist who writes for men and women with equal ease and grace. Everything Changes is a wonderful and engaging comic novel about the possibility of new life in the midst of emotional disaster." —Haven Kimmel, author of The Solace of Leaving Early

"Women: Want to know how men think? Here's a smart, funny, brutally honest, much-needed guy's point of view on how messy love can be. Jonathan Tropper makes me laugh and breaks my heart at the same time." —Lolly Winston, bestselling author of Good Grief
