Somehow funnier and more sad than This is Going to Hurt. I liked hearing more about Adam.

3.5

I had high hopes for this because I really liked This Is Going To Hurt but I didn't enjoy this one as much. It's quite a wide-ranging memoir which jumps around in his life and I didn't find it very cohesive, possibly because I listened to the audiobook. I also don't know if my sense of humour has changed or if this book had a different tone but I just didn't find it as funny as This Is Going To Hurt. The tone does shift from light to dark a lot and it includes some very heavy topics. I was expecting some of them but I wish I'd checked the content warnings beforehand to be a bit more prepared.

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.
