I enjoyed everything except the ending, but it was probably necessary for the plot to work. The characters were interesting, the audible narration was superb, and the format made sense. Overall, well done!

Love, Love, Love this book! Interesting characters, format, and plot. I got all the feels from this one. It was laugh out loud funny at times, while still carrying a heavy storyline. Highly recommend!

4.5 stars. Well written; good pacing; authentic characters. All too true tragic tale of the underbelly of the health care system... and so much more. A bit long for me, especially for a story with so much heartache.
