I found this a very average book. It did make me cry but only because of the subject matter. It reminded me of “Dear Life by Rachel Clarke” in many ways. A nurses perspective is not one I’ve read from before and I found interesting the way it differs from a doctors. I liked the telling of patient stories, they’re a huge part of this book and they definitely carried it because there is really little of the authors life outside of her job. I wish there was more discussion of her personal life although I understand if she purposely didn’t want to include it.
Overall I found this book interesting but not revolutionary. I probably won’t think about it often but I had a good time while I was there. 3 stars.
