I couldn't put this book down- it was a page turner from start to finish. Heart-breaking, heart-warming, and hopeful.

When Keira is diagnosed with breast cancer her world is turned upside down. But then she meets Tamsin and starts running, and soon they have formed The Cancer Ladies' Running Club. It is a story of four friends, each at a different stage of their treatment and each coming to terms with the way that their lives have changed, and the friendship that helps them through.

I loved the characters, especially Tamsin. I thought the book was written sensitively, realistically, and with humour. The short chapters made it an easy read. The author herself has had breast cancer and the book is based on some of the experiences that she went through. My only criticism is that it was, at times, predictable.

I would definitely recommend this book.
