Loved it
A good mixture of funny stories and heart breaking. Listened to it in one work shift. Hard to hide the smirk on my face during the funny moments

Hilarious
This was one of the funniest tales on what happens in the NHS over the festive period. Adam Kay is a great author and narrator. The narrative is performed with genuine feeling.
I would highly recommend this book as your Christmas read.

Fantastic book!
Equally as funny and harrowing as ‘this is going to hurt’ - surprised to hear some of the bizarre things people get up to at Christmas!
