When I read This is Going to Hurt, I couldn't imagine reading a book that pulled on my heartstrings more.
Undoctored managed it with ease.
I genuinely laughed, cringed and cried reading this book. In one hand he'll feed you a funny story about his life and in the other he slaps you with the reality that life is sometimes hard, and he seems to have got somewhat of an unfair share.
He speaks with honesty about eating disorders, SA and mental health struggles alongside the institutional issues within the medical industry. It never feels hopeless, yet he doesn't sugar coat and I hope his writing on this topics helps those who need to hear it.
I can't fault this book, and I highly recommend picking it up even if its not what you usually go for.
