I read this book in 24 hours and really struggled to put it down. The Cancer Ladies' Running Club tells the story of Kiera, who is newly diagnosed with breast cancer. As she comes to terms with her diagnosis, she meets Tamsin, another cancer patient, who persuades Kiera to join her running. This is the start of a beautiful friendship with Tamsin and two other runners who help each other through treatment.
I found the story of how Kiera went through treatment alongside other ups and downs in her life to be a very honest and truthful story of life with cancer, and how the rest of the world doesn't just stop because you're not well.
Whilst the book was definitely emotional, and I found myself in tears multiple times, I wouldn't particularly consider it a sad book, rather an uplifting book about a group of women who can do a lot more than they, and those around them, think they can. This is one of the best books I've read in a while.
