Kendall Holiday spends her Friday nights exactly where she wants to be: with her head buried in a spicy romance novel while she works the graveyard shift at her university's library. She knows she could join her friends for a weekend of drunken debauchery and college parties, but she likes her alone time, so she tells herself she isn't hiding when she gets lost in the pages of fictional love stories.
But that all changes when Vincent Knight, captain of the basketball team, turns up with an injured wrist, a sour mood, and a pressing need for poetry recommendations for a class he hates. Vincent is tall, smart-mouthed, and challenges Kendall like no one has before. Suddenly, she's falling headfirst into her very own romance novel—but it takes a lot more truth than tropes to get to a happy ever after in real life.
NIGHT SHIFT is a 75k-word sweet and spicy single-POV college romance perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Hannah Grace, and Elena Armas.

My Review:I wanted to love this book, and it honestly started out really great. The writing was really strong, and the main characters had really good initial chemistry. Their banter was light and fun, and the thrill of the chase was very cute. But the slow burn was too slow, and despite Kendall's knowledge of bookish tropes, she annoyingly fell victim to them during her inner monolouges. Not only did she play out every 'insufferable' female trope throughout the book, but she would also address them internally and still continue on with the same behavior. The main male love interest, Vincent, was adorable and honestly had way more patience with Kendall than I would have.
