It was interesting but at times I got annoyed by the author's opinions or jokes, especially the fatphobic ones.

namitree's review against another edition

dark informative reflective medium-paced

Watched the drama series adaptation last year and wanted to read the original material. Very informative on obgyn procedures and complications, the gruelling schedule of NHS junior doctors, and the government's callous campaign against said doctors. However, the unwarranted misogyny and fatphobia (among the MANY other disparaging remarks) was really off-putting and just unnecessarily cruel especially since these women were going through some of the most challenging and painful experiences of their lives.

I wish there were more explanations on some terms. Hard to sit through at times, but enjoyed the ride nonetheless!
