The Cancer Ladies' Running Club is one of those books that stays in your head long after you've turned the final page. The main character is Keira, a happily married mum of three who is successfully running her own gift shop until a cancer diagnosis throws her whole life into turmoil. The author's own personal experience of breast cancer allows her to write in an authentic and unflinching way about Keira's treatment, her physical and mental wellbeing, and the impact on all those around her. It's an emotional and enlightening story full of well-rounded and engaging characters that give you some insight into what it is like to live with cancer. The author combines difficult subject matter with themes of love and friendship, loyalty and betrayal, and the importance of staying positive. I loved this book, I found it uplifting and motivational.
