It’s All About Butty by Jenny Gretton is a charming and humorous novel that follows Butty, a young boy whose unusual name initially seems like a disadvantage but gradually becomes part of his identity. The story traces Butty’s journey from Yorkshire to London as he pursues a successful career in medicine. Along the way, he works at St Catherine’s Hospital and later has opportunities in Harley Street, facing a variety of challenges and experiences that shape his character.

I enjoyed watching Butty grow from a clever young boy into a confident doctor. The book combines humour with inspiring moments, making it an engaging read. The hospital settings and Butty’s dedication to helping others add depth to the story, while the light-hearted tone keeps it entertaining.

The pacing can feel a little slow in places, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars rather than 5, but overall it is an enjoyable and uplifting novel with a memorable main character. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy character-driven stories with humour and personal growth.
