The story is a little different, and I liked the main character. I like the world that she built for herself. I would have given this 5 stars but the ending was a bit too short for me, a bit too easy. Too much of a happy ever after. ( ) I read this book as an electronic advance reading copy provided by NetGalley, and I have submitted my comments to the publisher via that web site. This book reminds readers that, while intriguing, exciting, and also just practically convenient, a human created break in the space/time continuum is ultimately a really bad idea. The protagonist is flawed but likable; her relationship with trauma in her past, as well as her present relationship with her body, are the most intriguing parts of the story. Recommended for all libraries, including reluctant fantasy readers such as myself. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Only by traveling into the past can Jean discover a happy future... Hidden behind back doors of bars and restaurants and theaters and shops all over New York City are shortcuts--secret passageways that allow you to jump through time and space to emerge in different parts of the city. No one knows where they came from, but there are rules--you can only travel through them one way and only at night. When Jean's work friend Iggy introduces her to the shortcuts, it's to help shorten her commute between her night shifts bartending and her work at an upscale bakery. Jean is intrigued but has a hard time shaking the side effects--the shortcuts make her more talkative, more open to discussing her past and recalling memories she's tried hard to forget. When Iggy goes missing, Jean believes it's related to the shortcuts and his growing obsession with them. But as she starts digging into their origins, she comes to find a strange connection between herself and the shortcuts. A shimmering, propulsive novel set in New York City during the early aughts and across time, The Night Shift shows that by confronting the past can we reshape our future.
