For fans of Emily Henry and Abby Jimenez, The Anatomy of Us is the debut novel by Sunday Times bestseller and renowned midwife Leah Hazard, performed by Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley.

It’s New Year’s Eve in Edinburgh’s biggest hospital, and Dr. Becca Armitage is struggling. After a devastating shift in the emergency room leaves her questioning everything, she signs herself off work and spirals into depression. Enter Dr. Andrew Maitland – charming, wealthy and, according to Becca, the Most Beautiful Man in the World. As they begin an unexpected romance, Becca finds herself lying to maintain the image of the put-together doctor Andrew thinks she is. But Andrew has secrets of his own. As their relationship deepens, past wounds and current truths threaten to derail their budding connection. Can two imperfect people find a way to be honest with each other, and themselves?

The Anatomy of Us is a moving story about medicine, self-acceptance, and the messy reality of falling in love. By turns hilarious and heart-breaking, it is an intimate exploration of what it means to be human in all our glorious imperfections.

Well Becca (Doctor in a busy NHS A&E) gave Bridget Jones a run for her money! I really enjoyed this 'romcom', I think it would make a great movie with plenty of luagh out loud moments.
Becca's character was lovable and infuriating all in one, so many times as the listener I was thinking 'no don't do it, don't do it' and of course she did it.
The book is also realistic in its portrayal of a busy Junior doctor under tremendous pressure, trying to do and be their best.
Jessie Buckley was just the perfect narrator and gave warmth to Becca's character.

Not to give a spoiler but boy you left it late with that ending, although I wouldn't mind a 'What Becca does next'.
(p.s Leah I'm impressed that your background research, a 'spicebag' is a delicacy in Ireland!

Well well Leah Hazard, this is a different you!

Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable listen.
Spot on story telling and characters, beautifully performed.
The short yet engrossing plot manages to deliver far more than most of this genre!

Exceeded expectations!
