Description

Laura Swan was dreading the school sports day Mum’s race - but whoever would have thought it could be quite so life-changing? Laugh-out-loud funny, Fiona’s writing deals with the real life cringe-worthy moments we all know so well… Sports Day at her children's school is a nightmare for Laura because of the event she dreads – the Mums' Race. She knows the other mothers have been in training for at least three months – even though they're trying to pretend that they haven't. Laura's vowed never to take part, but the morning of the School Sports Day she makes a fatal error and promises her daughter that if she eats her Rice Crispies, she will run. With no escape, Laura is forced to take part and as she moves towards her inevitable humiliation, she is horrified to spot her husband Jed flirting with Celeste the delectable French girl who works with him. Determined to put up a fight and to show Jed there is still plenty of spice left in their marriage, Laura decides it is time to give her body the work out it has been desperately crying out for. But when Laura makes a special new friend at the running club that she has joined, she gets much more than she bargained for. From buying sexy lingerie displayed alongside the gherkins at Tesco to struggling into the last playsuit in Topshop, this novel is full of humour and Laura is a true heroine for our times. A sparkling, witty novel, that fizzes off the page.

Loved it!

Couldn't put it down. Loved all the characters and could so relate to Laura. If you've got kids, this a must read, it doesn't disappoint and very funny it parts.

Mum on the Run

Loved this book. It's crazy how much us mums can relate to this book. It's described perfectly and so on point. Made me laugh out loud. I wish it had lasted longer and maybe a second book to follow. 👍

Fun easy read

This is a fun beach book especially for mums who are into running. I have been running 5Ks for about a year, and was pleasantly reminded of what it was like when I first started.

Kept waiting for it to get better

I found the main character to be annoying rather than funny. I kept waiting for the story line to get better, but was Luke warm at best.

Very entertaining and an enjoyable read - but quite sad for the most part - is this what married life is like?! Great read all the same.

Inspiring!!

Really enjoye this book. Having 3 children myself I really related to the main character. So much so that tonight I went on my very first run. Soo relaxing even though I looked crazy by the time I got home. Didn't think I would enjoy the book or the run quite as much a I did but both were fab.
