⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5
I finished reading this book last night, before realising that I hadn't even started reviewing it, so I'm gonna read it again and I'm definitely reviewing it this time as you're currently reading the review!
If you've read any of my other recent book reviews, you'll already know that I start 'em all off in the same way, by saying that every book I read and remember to review starts off with the full surgery-load of 5 stars and that I'm always hopeful that they will all still be stuck firmly in place by the time I close the back cover. You'll also know that I'm not shy about removing stars but that I always give my reasons for taking each star off.
Let's get on with the second reading and first reviewing of the book shall we?
That first chapter was a great introduction to the author and she sounds like a great doctor who genuinely understood that patient and could quickly get her to open up and support her... what a great doctor!
The second chapter is sending warm fuzzies down my spine and this is already a huuuuuge review, so I'm only gonna comment on the noteworthy parts instead of each of the chapters.
Up to chapter 9 now and about half way through the book. The 7 chapters I haven't commented on have been truly eye-opening and told me that I really couldn't be a medical bod, let alone a GP!
There have been a few mentions of TV programmes and I'm not too sure about the legalities of using them without permission so unfortunately a star is coming off, which is breaking my heart.
What a great way to end an incredible book. It's definitely one of those "shoulda been 5 stars" books though, but every one of those four remaining stars are totally solid.
