This is a very solid read about Keira and her cancer story which although fictitious provides a very digestible but realistic account of the impact her diagnosis and treatment had on her. I can appreciate this won’t be an easy read for some but among the negatives there is a lot of humour and positivity and the other women she meets who are currently going through or have recently completed treatment add a very human but uplifting element. What works really well about this story is how life is still happening around Keira, she’s feeling pushed out at work, her husband is very busy with his own work and her children all have their own lives going on. The impact her diagnosis has on the people around her is really well related and you can understand so well why she formed friendships with the other ladies in the running group. Overall this is a really well related account of the impact cancer has but told with empathy and humour and doesn’t make for a depressing read at all despite the brutal honesty.
