A review by katkinney
Doctors and Friends by Kimmery Martin
4.0
DOCTORS AND FRIENDS was reportedly written pre-covid, however the novel’s pandemic outbreak is eerily similar to the covid epidemic. A group of friends who all happen to work in medicine are in Spain on a vacation when a pandemic breaks out. We see things unfold through their eyes over the course of the next year.
Kimmery Martin works in medicine and that vast depth of knowledge shines through in all her books. At times the book was a bit graphic, but I really appreciated the fact that scenes felt so real, just like you were watching an episode of Grey’s Anatomy flash across the pages. Each of the characters had a unique perspective and a bit of personal stuff going on in their own lives. The pacing for me was a bit off. The start of the book is slow—the virus doesn’t hit until 33% of the way in—and the ending felt a bit rushed. At times it felt like there were too many characters. Still, overall it was an enjoyable read. 4/5 stars.
