- We should all choose our words with more care because we never know the scales with which they will be measured. - Joanna Cannon

Breaking & Mending was a fascinating insight into the life of a junior doctor. I loved reading about the different stages in Jo's career as a doctor and how she reacted during different situations. It was heartbreaking and life affirming, and it would be a pleasure to be treated by a doctor with Jo's bedside manner, you could tell from her words that she cared deeply about those patients who she mentioned in her memoir.

I think that the overall tone of the book isn't a humorous one like perhaps This is Going to Hurt, but still a must read for fans of the doctor / memoir type reads.
