It's visceral, funny, and so poignant; what a memoir should be, real commentary on real life. It's unpretentious, as if Adam Kay had come round for a chat and we got to talking about his time as a junior doctor. It's heartbreaking, a love letter to the people who make the NHS such a precious institution, and a retort to those who have bruised it.
This is what a memoir should be. An elegy, a time capsule. It's a look at a life we so rarely see, but that we should all work to better understand. One of the best books I've read in a long time.
