Top praise for A&E 2 ICU:

Superb gallows humour! A brilliant, witty collection.

"I absolutely loved this. Having been stuck in a hospital bed myself, the author captures the absolute madness of the wards with a perfectly dry, clever British wit. The stories are punchy, hilarious, and occasionally deeply moving."

— Eddie L, PreReader Review Group

Wonderfully entertaining and uniquely clever.

"There is a fantastic mix of characters here, from the brilliant to the utterly bizarre. The twist endings keep you guessing every single time. It is the perfect companion for a coffee break or a waiting room!"

— Sophie H

Sharp storytelling with a magnificent heart.

"The backstory of how these tales were penned adds such a beautiful layer to the book. It jumps from laugh-out-loud hospital dilemmas to poignant family moments seamlessly. Another triumph for the series!"
