The format took a while to get used to as some diary entries were so short they felt like Doctor Doctor jokes, but once I got used to it I could not stop reading. First of all, thank you to Berkley Publishing and Stephanie Wrobel for my ARC of this book that comes out on February 22, 2022. Welcome to Wisewood, where we keep your secrets if you keep ours. Wisewood is a private island off the coast of Maine where people can go for six months to get away from it all. Some people are struggling with anxiety, others drug abuse, but no matter the cause, Wisewood touts that it is the solution. Cooke, Rachel (8 February 2022).

For the second part of the novel, the narration switches from Natalie to Kit. We get to experience Kit’s arrival at Wisewood and the true cult-like teachings that are practiced there. Behind these lessons is a woman named Rebecca, who everyone refers to as Teacher. Kit takes an instant liking to her --- so much so that she signs on to work at Wisewood after her initial time as a voluntary patient is over. The story is fairly slow and there’s no real sense of dread or menace. At best I got the tiniest bit of creepy vibes, but nothing that had me on the edge of my seat. or 2.5 stars. I did not enjoy this. Much of it was unnecessarily confusing. A good mystery is one in which the reader thinks, “I didn’t see that coming, but this makes sense,” not that the author purposely was coy about who was telling the story and during what time. There is jumping from sister to sister, Natalie and Kit, a storyline that makes sense even if it leaps around in time, and another story that’s hard to read because it involves an appallingly psychologically abusive father.

Yes, there are flawed ones too. Name one profession which doesn't have the flawed ones in it. You can give me various reasons why doctors are this and that except for what they're supposed to do and what they're supposed to be. Again, name one 'respectable' profession which doesn't have a few of the worst of their kind.

Adam Kay was able to discuss almost all the crucial things in Medicine in the short memoir directly or indirectly. If we read between the lines, we can clearly see the Butterfly effect prevalent in Medicine. Off Natalie goes to the private island where Wisewood is located. What Natalie finds is beyond creepy, with "cult" written all over it. Shaved heads, no touching, spartan quarters, and no answers. The question is, "can Natalie escape this place with her sister in tow"? Finally, towards the end of the book, I caught on to what the third narration was telling me. Say no to cults, folks, nothing good comes from being one of the "followers". I couldn't finish the book in the end. I was about half way through and fading fast, only to come across an vignette about the doctor being called in to deliver a new-born 'mid-wank', which ends with him completing the procedure "still erect". It was genuinely the most horrifying sentence I have ever read. I’m so glad that I ended up giving this book a chance! I read so many thrillers that I rarely find one that stands out but This Might Hurt is truly unique to the genre.
