An utterly charming and hilarious romantic comedy about one raw break-up from the talented author duo of The Best Thing That Never Happened to Me.

Rebecca is the only girl she knows who didn't cry at the end of Titanic. Ben is the only man he knows who did. Rebecca’s untidy but Ben doesn’t mind picking up her pieces. Ben is laid back by Rebecca keeps him on his toes. They're a perfect match.

Nothing can come between them. Or so they think.

When a throwaway comment reveals a secret from the past, their love story is rewritten.

Can they recover from the night that changed everything? And how do you forgive when you can’t forget?

The Night That Changed Everything is a funny, feel-good and bittersweet story, told in alternate chapters by Laura Tait and Jimmy Rice.

Praise for The Night That Changed Everything

Ben and Rebecca - their lives, their friends, their relationship - are so cleverly and realistically drawn that you'll believe every line. There's also a cracking good plot! I honestly couldn't put it down.

Katy Regan

I absolutely loved it. Made me laugh and cry in equal measure.

Phil Williams, BBC Radio 5 Live

A love story, but also a study of the complex ecosystem of twentysomething friendship groups – there’s a lot here that will resonate

Glamour

A thoroughly enjoyable anti-romcom which chronicles a breakup instead of a romance. Smart and funny

Julie Cohen

So, so funny. I loved it.

Both Laura and Jimmy excel at writing sharp, witty romantic comedy . . . The Night That Changed Everything is a funny, bittersweet, opposites attract story.
