A Little Unwell

A Little Unwell by Sam Jewell is a candid, darkly funny medical drama that drops you into the unglamorous grind of a city hospital — and you’ll love it for its sharp humour, big heart and unflinching honesty.

In her second year as a junior doctor, Amy discovers the job she thought would mean stability and purpose is messier than med school promised. Patients don’t always want saving, the roster is brutal, rent isn’t getting any cheaper, and her personal life is fraying at the edges. What keeps her going is the improvised family she finds on night shift: colleagues who understand the pressure, the fatigue, and the moments you can’t quite shake off.

Perfect for readers who enjoy contemporary Australian fiction, workplace novels, and stories about friendship, burnout and resilience — especially if you like hospital settings with bite.

Add it to your basket and step into a night shift you won’t forget.
