Summary

Abby Rogers has been on health kicks before - they involve eating one blueberry muffin for breakfast instead of two. When Abby is encouraged to join her sporty best friend's running club - by none other than its gorgeous new captain - she finds a mysterious compulsion to exercise.

Then her colleague, Heidi, turns up at work and makes a devastating announcement, one that will change her life - and Abby's - forever.

Pleasant, Easy Book!

Within it’s genre, this may even be a 4* book. I am rating it based upon my wide reading/listening. I’m mostly a crime fiction girl. It’s a fairly predictable tale, but a good light read. The characters are all really engaging and it’s easy to care about them.

LOLoud a fair bit- but far too " girly" for me.

Overall well constructed yarn. Held my interest but think aimed at a young audience. Excruciatingly ditzy at times. Some genuinely comical pieces. Narrator very good except for her method of portraying a male voice - which irritating to listen to.

Heavy handed writing and narration

The plot was fine, if slightly predictable for the most part. The description was far too full of clichés and didn't really work - it was trying too hard to be funny bit missed the mark. The narration was clear but some of the male voices came over as very dull.

a nice book, but a very annoying voice

I have picked this book for a personal reason - as, from the summary of the story, I was hoping it can motivate me to start running. The book itself was actually nice, there were few irritating qualities of the main character, but I suppose this was making her more human. The only negative, which made it very hard for me to finish this book was a voice reading the story! Few times I almost gave up on this book due to that voice! Some people are just not meant to narrate stories!

Overall, a good light book, I definitely recommend it to read - or to listen, if you can put up with the voice narrating this story.

Pleasant and easy entertainment

Nice easy listening, a chick flick of a book. I would give it a go on a pleasant beach day.
