But you can’t keep on pretending forever…
Twenty-one-year-old Jess used to have everything—a loyal best friend, a boyfriend she loved, and a future that was right on track. But in a single night, her whole world changed.
Now, Jess lives for the impersonal connection of drunken hook-ups and to-go coffee cups in the morning. All she needs is one night to pretend everything is fine…until she meets Adam.
Thanks to a sports injury, gorgeous, charming basketball star Adam Carson is stuck in physical therapy at the hospital where Jess interns—giving her the perfect opportunity to see his sweet, considerate nature and making her realize that maybe she does want something more.
But while Adam might be the best thing that’s happened to Jess in a long time, letting him past her carefully constructed walls means letting him know what happened...and why he'd never want her for more than one night.
One Night poses an interesting situation, how does someone overcome a terrible loss and learn to forgive themselves and move on? Jess gets through the day by keeping to herself, going through the motions at school and at her physical therapy internship and especially with guys, preferring drunken one-night hook-ups to relationships. Which is why she has Carson firmly in the friend zone.
Basketball god, Adam, is drawn to Jess during his physical therapy for a knee injury, but she is clear that they are just friends. She's clearly been through something awful, but she's not talking.
Adam, despite being the popular jock, is the epitome of a good guy. He's patient, kind and caring with Jess. Jess, for her part, is a mess and is completely lost. She's full of self-loathing, depressed and angry, very angry. These themes can be a little difficult at times, but it's an interesting story, with some twists and turns thrown in to keep you interested.
