The book is very funny and a great casual read. I loved the footnotes and writing which are informative and helps to show his personality and insight of his thoughts. We get to read more about his personal life and the heartbreaking challenges that he has faced throughout his life.

Adam Kay is an incredible storyteller. If you or anyone you know has ever worked in healthcare, you must read his books. This is his most personal, and it's all the more impactful for it.
