kayleem93's review against another edition
3.0
Oh you were going to be five stars but the last three pages just ruined it for me.
I adored the character development I felt like even the 'side characters' were fleshed out so well within only a page or two which takes considerable skill! I come imagine them all crystal clear with their own distinct personalities.
The setting, well if that wasn't the most comically accurate description of our British NHS hospitals I don't know what could have been. I know this is set in the US but honestly the resemblence is uncanny. Trust me I spend enough of my time in them.
The main characters could have been anyones Grandma and Grandad possibly over exagerated at times (to prove a point and done intentionally I presume) but loveable so loveable.
I wanted to keep reading from the very first page, the authour has such a way with words and is able to turn a phrase so well. The inner monologue of the main character so felt so so real.
However, the 'shock' or 'twist' or whatever that was supposed to be in chapter 29. Pointless. Ruined the whole thing for meI was going to keep it as to re-read but now I no longer will be doing so.
I recieved this copy as a goodreads giveaway. I was not obligated to review this book and my review is in no way influenced by this.
