The Night Shift

'The Night Shift could almost be Beth OLeary and Ali Hazlewoods love child, except its pure Nancy Peach pedigree. Witty, clever and heartfelt, her writing absolutely drew me in and this is one of my favourite reads this year.' Julie Caplin Violet Winters is starting her first week of nights and she is petrified. Shes a straight-A student, but practising medicine on real people is another matter entirely. Seems like being a straight-talker can get you in hot water when it comes to patient care With no one special to spend Christmas with, she signs herself up for the holiday night shift. How much damage could she possibly do? Dr Gus Jovic, on the other hand, is universally popular, famously unflappable in a crisis and appears to charm patients with ease. But Violet can't help but wonder how come Mr Perfect is avoiding a Christmas at home too?
