Description

When Flight 82 goes down over the Atlantic, forty doctors survive the crash. Unfortunately, they’re all chiropractors and dentists.

Stranded on an uncharted island with no rescue in sight, the survivors face a brutal reality: dwindling rations, no clear leader, and an alarming surplus of essential oils. The bigger problem? The chiropractors and dentists already despise each other. Pediatric dentist Rebecca Riley is too deep in medication withdrawal to keep the peace. Reluctantly famous chiropractor Carlton Berger never wanted to lead anyone anywhere, let alone across a tropical island at spearpoint.

As factions form and tempers flare, the castaways learn that surviving the crash was the easy part. The hard part is surviving one another. But when one castaway decides the island can’t support forty doctors, the feud turns deadly.

The Bone Docs is a satirical survival novel about the only medical professionals you don’t need in a crisis—and what happens when the bedside manner runs out.

Review on Goodreads

I absolutely loved this bonkers tale of descent into madness.

It had the feel of a - what I imagine to be - seemingly adult version of Lord of the Flies. I have not read Lord of the Flies, but this book, I read in one sitting. Yes, it was that good.

The rivalry/hate between the two types of 'bone' doctors (in England, we don't class dentists as doctors) is an exaggeration of egotistical, yet proud, professionals.

It has, however, made me feel the need to source a decent chiropractor. One who doesn't do the trust and twist though!

Hated the turtle scenes, but I understand the necessity. I also understand the need to do this type of thing. Other than banging heads together, which doesn't usually work, this works!

Brilliant!
