5.0
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.
