challenging dark emotional funny reflective fast-paced

4.0

I loved ' This is going to Hurt' the book and more recently the BBC1 drama series and this felt like a prequel and a sequel to that. As there were stories from Medical school and his time as a doctor and how he adapted to leaving and the success of the first book. It had some funny anecdotes and had Adams humour throughout it but this felt in some ways a lot more personal. The story of his Eating Disorder, the miscarriage of his child, his grandparents dementia and his rape it was heartbreaking to read at some points. However, it is also so important as him opening up will hopefully help so many others and give those the courage to hopefully speak up. I liked how it told stories throughout the different time frames and how some were funny stories yet others were tragic which I really wasn't expecting.
