The Antidote for Everything
Book Feature - The Antidote for Everything by Kimmery Martin
HBL Note: I am so excited to be featuring another Kimmery Martin novel! I read and reviewed her first novel, The Queen of Hearts, two years ago. Has it really been that long? I adored her writing and thought the story was charming, so I’m pumped that she’s back with another story for us. Fun fact about Kimmery: she’s also an emergency medical doctor! So it’ll come as no surprise that the two main characters in The Antidote for Everything are both doctors. If you’re looking for a sweet story with a touch of Grey’s Anatomy, then you’ll love Kimmery Martin books. Scroll down to read more.
From the publisher:
In this whip-smart and timely novel from acclaimed author Kimmery Martin, two doctors travel a surprising path when they must choose between treating their patients and keeping their jobs.
Georgia Brown’s profession as a urologist requires her to interact with plenty of naked men, but her romantic prospects have fizzled. The most important person in her life is her friend Jonah Tsukada, a funny, empathetic family medicine doctor who works at the same hospital in Charleston, South Carolina and who has become as close as family to her.
Just after Georgia leaves the country for a medical conference, Jonah shares startling news. The hospital is instructing doctors to stop providing medical care for transgender patients. Jonah, a gay man, is the first to be fired when he refuses to abandon his patients. Stunned by the predicament of her closest friend, Georgia’s natural instinct is to fight alongside him. But when her attempts to address the situation result in incalculable harm, both Georgia and Jonah find themselves facing the loss of much more than their careers.
