Another cool thing about The Shift is that it is set in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is pretty famous for its hospitals. I have a strong anti-UPMC bias, and I am pretty sure that is where Theresa Brown, RN is employed, but that is neither here nor there.
Now the only thing that kinda bugged me about the book is that Brown has PhD in English and she is a contributor to the New York Times but there was a lot of pronoun trouble. You know the whole, "She had the same coloring as me." I mean, it there were none that obvious, but there were a few that were obvious to me and well, I mean, I am NOT very well versed in grammar! So it was obvious to me, and I have a million grammatical mistakes in this post alone...well, I just wonder about it. Is that an old rule? Is the choice of pronoun now just a choice? I am not trying to be a smart butt here. I just found out that we don't have to put two spaces after a period anymore! I am not really up on changing rules!
Other than that, I really enjoyed the book!
