I loved Adam Kays first two books. This one is no different.

 I truley believe he does a remarkable job at highlightling what goes on behind the closed doors of the NHS and the heros that work within it. That is even more prudent at this time where the NHS is hair away from collapse. 

He give a intresting viewpoint of what happened behind the scenes of the  pandemic and the people that should have been leading us *cough* Handcock *Cough* . 

This book made me both laugh and cry. 

My only little niggle is that I wish some trigger warnings were maybe given at the start of the book as it goes into quite explicit food avoidance tactics and sexual assault. 

On the final few pages he signs off with some very powerful messages. Two of which just helped me make my mind up about somthing I have been struggling with.  100% reccomend reading, just read the TW first.
