Paper Towns meets The Way Way Back in this warm and winning contemporary YA romance novel about teen angst, unrequited love, and self-discovery set to the beat of Elvis Presley's music.

Breakups are the worst.

Thompson is miserable. Can he get Caroline back?

With his mind on HER, his life takes an unexpected turn. Elvis gives him a job. He knows nothing about the world of celebrity impersonators, but he does know social media. And so starts his adventure......where will it take him?

Will he find his true love?

One Night is a delightful coming-of-age tale--it is an unforgettable story of friendship and finding yourself, of heartache and healing, and of the remarkable turns a life can take in One Night.

Review

"Thoroughly enjoyed this quirky cast of characters and the setting." -I Got the Books

"I really LOVED it!" -I Speak Bookish

"Driven by realistic characters, compelling purposes, and changing environments, One Night breaks away from the normal coming-of-age saga with an intense story of growth and self-discovery that's very highly recommended for mature teens and new adults alike." -D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"Draws readers in with its charm and quaintness...there's plenty characters of color, which does not happen often in YA lit and is a nice change of pace." -Portland Book Review

"Set in front of an idyllic Hawaiian backdrop, One Night is a thoroughly entertaining read." -Whispering Stories

"It's a must-read for all Elvis fans!" -I Speak Bookish

"Worth reading a million times. And it does not fall into every young adult trope known to man." -Evil Queen and the Flying Monkey Reads
"It was cool to see that even with the large age gap, Johnny and Thompson still had a lot to teach each other, and in some ways it was like a big brother/little brother relationship...One Night by Deanna Cabinian is a great YA debut, great for fans of John Green and Maureen Johnson." -Lauren's Crammed Bookshelf

From the Author

I set One Night in Hawaii because it's my favorite place on earth. I wrote this book for anyone (teens and adults) who's done something crazy to get their ex back. We've all been there LOL. If you like reading coming-of-age novels by John Green, Maureen Johnson, Marci Lyn Curtis, and Jesse Andrews you will probably enjoy One Night. If you're looking for a feel-good story that just makes you happy One Night is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining!
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2016

I have to say first that typically I do not read books that are targeted at a Young Adult audience so my expectations were that I would have to struggle through this book but it entertained me from start to finish. Thompson is a boy with a broken heart who meets Johnny, an Elvis impersonator with relationship struggles of his own. But rather than the stereotypical formula where the cure is to meet the "real" Ms. Right, the story is about the exploration of relationships and their journey to make sense of it all. Thompson's friends and parents have stories of their own that make them real characters that all have elements we identify with; they aren't just caricatures. It held my interest as I was never completely sure what would happen next. The book contained plenty of humor throughout. I can recommend as a good read for all and a great Christmas purchase for teens and young adults for sure!

'One Night is the story of a teenage boy who joins in with an Elvis impersonator, each of whom is in need of a resolution for their broken heart. Though this is not my usual type of reading, I found it very entertaining. There is a good balance of plot vs. character development (though probably more of the latter). There are some opportunities to go with timeworn, predictable plot developments which the author intelligently avoids, so you don't really know what is going to happen. The actual plot developments result in a much more honest, believable story. One can see that the author understands a lot about human nature (though perhaps optimistically). We can see from the characters' thought processes and from the morals and values presented that the author has her head screwed on straight. I predict a bright future for Ms. Cabinian.

I was very impressed with this book, as it was just quirky enough to be enjoyable to read and maintain your attention throughout the book. All the characters were very likable and the big role that an actual Elvis impersonator played in the plot was unique and added a lot to the story. It gave me a whole new perspective of Elvis impersonators. I was glad the plot never got boring and that it had a lot of good lessons for a young reader. (of which I am not) I would even go so far to say that most adults would like this book and I would recommend it to almost anyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful YA coming of age story!
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2017
I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Actual rating: 3/5 stars

One Night by Deanna Cabinian follows seventeen year old Thompson Lake who was cheated on then left by his girlfriend Caroline. So he goes on a journey with an Elvis impersonator and his two friends, Ronnie and Greta, to help him either win Caroline's heart back or forget her entirely.

The characters in this novel were pretty well developed and Thompson charmed me from the beginning. His journey through love, loss and friendship made his character fantastic. And he was super relate-able because everyone has been hurt that way once in their life and came to the crossroads that he came to at the start of his journey. His friendships between Johnny (the Elvis impersonator), Ronnie, and Greta was well done and portrayed what true friendship really means. His character development made this novel what it is and I enjoyed watching him grow. I can honestly say Thompson is a character that will stick with me for a while.

This novel was very much a character driven story. That being said, there was little plot but the plot that shone through the characters, turned out very well done and made the story flow smoothly.

I really enjoyed the writing in this novel. Deanna just has a way with keeping you captivated. Also, the novel's writing made it a nice and relatively quick read, making it a perfect book to finish in a day.

One Night is a beautiful YA coming of age story and it's a wonderful installment to the genre. If you're looking for a nice, quick read with characters you'll fall in love with and a journey you won't forget; look no further because this book is perfect for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A feel good story of friendship!

That was a very sweet story.

Thompson had his heart broken, and his wallowing brought him to Elvis night at the Tiki Bar. There, he met "Hawaii's Favorite Elvis", Johnny Lee Young. I loved how Johnny took Thompson under his wing and was a surrogate big brother to him. They tackled their respective heartbreak together and were then free to move forward. Thompson easily endeared himself to me, but the rest of the cast was also delightful. I am excited there are more adventures ahead for Thompson and look forward to reading them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific debut novel
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2016

"One Night" is a hugely enjoyable coming-of-age tale told from the perspective of a recently-jilted young man between his junior and senior years in high school. Even for those of us more than a few years beyond that point, author Deanna Cabinian brings back those times with a lot of understanding, heart, perspective, humor and wisdom.

The heart of the story is the developing "older/younger brother" relationship between the main character, Thompson, and Johnny, an Elvis impersonator, as they prod each other toward dealing with unresolved feelings about their past lost loves. And it's done in a fun, breezy, easygoing style that makes the book hard to put down. Also, if you like Elvis, Hawaii or Chicago, you're sure to get even more enjoyment from it.

I highly recommend "One Night" and can't wait to read Ms. Cabinian's next work.

I didn't know what to expect from a YA-oriented book, but it was a real page turner. The rich references to Hawaii, Elvis, young heartbreak, big dreams and life's disappointments were weaved into a great story. There were passages that made me sad, such as the fact that the main character had a brother who died as a baby and it affected how his parents treated him or the Elvis-impersonator's Nana dying in a nursing home. While other story lines were hilarious and upbeat--the descriptions of some of the seedier sights to experience in Chicago--the urine scented subway and gasoline and cigarettes smell of the air. It had a good ending--not corny, but positive and hopeful.
