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. Review Quotes
