The second installment of Adam Kay's life is absolutely as good as the first. Kay is witty, funny, and knows exactly how to tug on your heartstrings and throw in emotional curveballs.

Undoctored is a continuation of Kay's debut novel This is Going to Hurt, following his life after leaving medicine, interspersed with flashbacks to his time in his old career. Kay gives the reader true insights into his own mind and life which really give the feeling that you know this version of him. He's at times achingly relatable and at others completely unlikeable, but throughout the whole book feels entirely and completely human, fuck ups and all.

This book was an absolutely incredible read, and I'll be on Kay's next book, whatever it is, like a wolf on a panini.

Adam Kay’s books are always ones that I turn to when I’m in need of a good laugh, and cannot recommend listening to them in audiobook enough.

In this book he opens up about the process of leaving behind a career that had been firmly fixed as an inevitable part of his identity for much of his life. He covers some incredibly difficult and devastating times in his life (definitely check content warnings), but as with his other books these are interspersed with his laugh-out-loud anecdotes, making this both hilarious and heartbreaking.
