This is the third book written by Adam Kay that I have read and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Whilst the first two were mainly based on his time working as a doctor, this was looked more into his life before and after this time. This book really puts into perspective how you never truly know why someone is going through as it highlights Adams comedic career whilst also discussing some of the worst times of his life.

An absolute rocker! 5 stars I ugly laughed, almost cried, rolled my eyes and had a great time. This book was definitely free therapy and would 100% recommend to anyone who isn't squeamish or sensitive. Kay has a great autobiographical style, and as well as drawing me in with the humour, I feel like he has educated, counselled , and given me a voice.
