After her cancer diagnosis, Kiera finds community in a place she was not expecting to find it- a running club with other women who are also going through treatment. I thought the beginning was long, and it took me some time to keep the characters straight. I appreciated this book was honest in that Kiera found cancer affecting her personal and professional life and didn’t cover up cancer with a cheery ending. ( )

Absolutely fabulous. Funny, witty, uplifting. An honest look at what it means to be a cancer patient. I feel like I was one of (main character) Keira's friends and went through this with her. So inspiring how the (fictional) team of friends (literally) ran through their troubles arm in arm. Well worth a read! ( )

This was a wonderful book about family, friendship and resilience. It made for a fascinating read how Josie Lloyd weaved so many plot lines, including a potential company takeover, into a delightful read. The book also provides an insight into the personal challenges that cancer patients. I truly enjoyed reading this book. ( )

The strength of sisterhood and the commitment of a running group help Keira face her cancer diagnosis and overcome her struggles.

Poignant, touching, brave, and bold are words that describe both this book and the author. I am humbled by the strength and courage these women displayed as they faced their future head-on. Thank you for touching my heart and blessing my soul with this simple yet beautiful story. ( )

In The Bright Side Running Club, the main character Keira is diagnosed with breast cancer.  Like it would for anyone, this throws her for a loop.  A chance meeting while waiting outside her clinic leads to Keira joining 3 other ladies who have cancer in a running club. What results is a beautiful story of friendship through the thick and thin of her cancer journey.  What made this story even more authentic was the fact that the author is a cancer survivor and used her own experiences to write the book.  The story was definitely believable and well written.  I was inspired by how these women literally put one foot in front of the other each day.  It is just a lovely work of women's fiction. My sincere thanks to Alcove Press and Library Thing Early Reviewers for giving me the opportunity to read this book and give my unbiased opinion of it.  I will certainly recommend.  4/5 stars ( )
