dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

3.25

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.

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

I’m always very torn with Kay. I dislike his mocking of patients or those who think differently to him, and his focus on the scatological aspects of life, but as someone who also works in the NHS my heart breaks a little for the experiences he’s had and the mental health difficulties he’s been left with. I also recognise the need for black humour…
