I always enjoy a book that you can tell is informed by the author’s experiences because they feel more genuine. That Gregory Williams was an anesthesiologist I think will make this book even better than your typical medical drama. The opening scene was so descriptive and emotional and I am eager to find out how it shapes protangonist Gene’s story. I don’t think this book is for everyone, but for fans of medical dramas and intellectual novels Open Heart could definitely be a winner!
