Synopsis

When Keira first receives her breast cancer diagnosis, she never expects to end up joining a running group with three women she’s only just met. Totally blind-sided, all she can think about is how she doesn’t want to tell her family or step back from work. Nor does she want to be part of a group of fellow cancer patients. Cancer is not her club. And yet it’s running—hot, sweaty, lycra-clad running in the company of brilliant, funny women all going through treatment—that unexpectedly gives Keira the hope she so urgently needs. Because Kiera will not be defined by the C-word. And now, with the Cancer Ladies’ Running Club cheering her on, she is going to reclaim everything: her family, her identity, and her life. One step at a time. Moving, uplifting, and full of hope, this beautifully crafted novel about love, family, and the power of finding your tribe is based on the author’s own experience with cancer and community.

Goodreads review by Anna on February 08, 2022

This book read like a sitcom to me. Most of the sub-plots felt unnecessary and dragging for far too long. The fraud element was very predictable, far-fetched and took away the focus from what really mattered. I would have enjoyed learning about the other running club ladies' different experiences wit......more

Goodreads review by Alexa on March 20, 2022

The Bright Side Running Club is not a bad book by any means, I think that I am just not the audience this book was aiming for. Not being a middle aged mother and having never experienced cancer (thank God) I found that I really struggled with relating to anything, plot and character wise, within thi......more
