Bloody loved it!
Absolutely loved ‘This is Going to Hurt’ and wondered if a second book could live up to it ... but it really did. I loved it. An emotional rollercoaster that was so thoughtfully, addictively (couldn’t stop listening) and humorously written. Adam Kay is an all round genius. Thank you to all the NHS staff working around Christmas.

More Great Stories
Another selection of events from Adam Kay, it’s a little shorter than I’d like, but it’s still a great book.

Heart warming and breaking all in one
Such a good storyteller with oodles of them to tell! Laughed out loud and shed multiple tears at this just like ‘This is going to hurt’. Real and raw, loved it!

Adam Kay’s writing is remarkably hilarious. I only wish it was longer! Can’t wait for more from him.

Heartwarmingly Tragic
I both laughed aloud, and sobbed uncontrollably in public, one after the other throughout this.
