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.

The bonus lockdown diaries at the end had me laughing out loud. It was a very reflective account of Kay's life with a lot of the inward looking which was different to his previous, comedic writing style but was still really enjoyable

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.
