However, there’s one very important man who seems to worship “Jimmy”, despite him clearly having been a womaniser and a user. It turns out Rob is now “Jimmy”, a large man, and attractive by anyone’s standards. Then, when he realises he’s no longer in the slim, redheaded body he used to inhabit, things get even stranger. It takes Rob a while to recover from his injury, and at first everything around him in the hospital is extremely confusing. Rob has no idea what is going on, but all of a sudden the fountain he collapsed into when he was shot has disappeared, and everyone surrounding him is dressed in what he assumes to be costume. It’s a swift moving scene with plenty of drama, and before we know it we’re plunged back into the past. The story opens with Rob, our point of view character, getting shot in the present day. Now Robert’s falling in love with Hugh, but how can he explain he isn’t who he appears? How can he get Hugh to love him, and not the man whose body he inhabits? And who shot Jimmy?Ī great idea for a time travel story and a well-researched jaunt into the jazz era. However, a tendency to exposition and overused internal monologue prevented me from falling into the story as deeply as I would have liked.
