Thank you to Netgalley and Random House UK (Vintage) for access to the ARC.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is compared to "This is Going to Hurt", both books talk about the NHS system but from different perspectives. The book if funny and charming, as well as bleak and cold when discussing the limitations of mental health support available in a underfunded system.
The personal anecdotes are touching and reflective, more vunerable than I have come to expect in this genre (as there is a lot of focus on personal flaws).
I'd highly reccommed this book to those who want an interesting, thought-provoking read.
