Very funny follow up (but also prequel) to ‘This is going to hurt’.

dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

I loved Adam Kay’s first book and the promotional material suggested this would be similar, other funny stories of life before and after medicine. 

However this book is very different to the first and quite a difficult read. There are a lot of painful and harrowing stories and I found it very difficult to read. 

Definitely don’t recommend it if you’re not feeling good mentally as you will struggle to put it down but the stories will stick with you.

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.

This was probably the hardest hitting one yet. Holy guacamole. Please pay attention to trigger warnings.
