SO GOOD!!! I loved every second of this. It felt like a drug-fueled lucid dream, which I think was the point. It reckoned with obsession, women, sexuality, drugs and so many more things that a lot of books shy away from, especially all at once. I applaud the author. The only thing is that this book was missing a feeling of authenticity. I didn’t feel that these characters were real, that they were doing molly across the sea right at this moment. They felt to me like TV characters, not real people. Whether intentional or not, it felt like an editorial look at the topics rather than a snapshot of real life.

Why the fuck did she get played twice lmaooooo

This book didn’t really click with me. I think the obsessive notion on the back of the book wasn’t really the driving force of the plot. The main character’s flaws and mistakes were more of a highlight in my opinion, which often left me irritated.

Nightshift was a story of intoxicating infatuation and obsession, an exploration of sexuality and queerness, and an addictive read.

I was always dying to carry on when I’d finished and loved the experience of listening to it. It wasn’t really what I was expecting at first but it was so much better than that, and it really deserves the highest of praise.

There are some very emotional and challenging elements to the book from start to finish, as we explore the characters and learn more about their experiences and interactions. The ending was unexpected but it really finished the story off perfectly and in a very believable, finite way.

I really do think that Nightshift will stay with me for a very long time and would highly recommend it. 5 stars.
