Running in Heels by Anna Maxted

4.0

I read this book back in 2009 in a day or two, and loved it. That was before I started writing reviews on here, I only gave star reviews, and i gave it a five. At the end of January, I was cleaning out things and saw this book. I wanted to give it away, since i hate keeping books lying around after I have read them, if i own them, but decided to re-read it first, since I liked it so much the first time. I read most of it in one weekend, then near the end, it kind of dragged, and i read a ton of other books instead. Finally, I just thought I've gotta finish this thing, and did, months later in April...lol oops. Anyway, it's been labeled a chick lit book, but it's really not. It's much more serious and isn't about some woman going after a guy. The main focus of the book is a woman who first self-destructs a bit, then finds herself. It deals with an eating disorder, finding herself in a job, friends, sex, etc. Also, since i love pilates, i love how pilates is included so much in this book. A great read, and a great author. I've read a couple by her but am excited to read more! I've lowered it to four stars, just because the book falters near the end.
