What Amazon Says:
When Keira first receives her breat cancer diagnosis, she doesn't want to have to tell her family, or step back from work. She doesn't want to sit in a hospital, or be part of a group of fellow cancer patients. Cancer is not her club. But as she accepts that her health is no longer something she can rely on, Keira finds herself embracing running. And running in the company of a group of brillant, funny, women each going through treatment unexpectedly gives Keira the hope she needs. Because the C-word is not going to define Keira's identity. And with the Cancer Ladies' Running Club cheering her on, she's going to reclaim her life. One Step at a time.
This book was just okay. I really wanted to like it - it had a good premise and I thought it would be a neat read. But it just isn't well written. I didn't like many of the characters. The main character was the worst of all - wishy washy, and a lot of her actions made no sense. She owned a company yet she let her seconds in charge walk all over her. The author kept writing about her support at home yet she didn't have it with her husband and children. It was very fluffy and very surface of a read. I gave it an extra half a star based on the author's note on the end. This is her story in fiction form - she was Keira.
