I love Anna Maxted's work. She's such a talented and gifted storyteller. "Getting Over It" (her first work) is one of my favs and I have been eagerly anticipating her next novel. I was not disappointed. The levels and characters in this book are wonderful. She tells a story with such intelligence, care and thoughtfulness. I really enjoy her pace and character development. The story goes deeper than the usual "modern romance" and makes you work harder. You will completely enjoy this book - and feel satisfied with a job well done. I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this novel, yet again Anna Maxted has produced a first rate story which kept me gripped from beginning to end. I can't wait until her next book.

Loved the main character!
I've read this book twice now over the past year. I find Anna's writing style extremely witty and similar to my own which leaves me enjoying the book so much more. Read more

Good holiday reading
I thought this book was laugh out loud in a lot of places, and the friend I lent it to next chuckled away too. Read more

Surpasses the "chick lit" label easily
Not your average chick lit book - this has some serious impact. It takes on serious issues such as bulimia, self-harm, and self-hatred, but does so with an informal and gentle,... Read more

stopped reading it
I stopped reading this book from the first thirty pages. I couldn't stand how it was sooooo negative and was barely funny. Bridget Jones's diary was much better. Read more

disappointing
Unoriginal, too many cliches (gay friend, dysfunctional relationship with mother), too long, too many problems for one character. Read more

A fantastic, entertaining read!
Although I only bought this book as a read for the aeroplane journey...(& never did get around to reading it for quite a while, by the way), I was truly addicted(when I finally... Read more

Hmmm.....
...well it was OK. I'd read Maxted's "Getting Over It" a couple of years previously and hoped this would be as good. Read more

one of the better books
While not as lauded as her debut Getting Over It, Anna Maxted's Running in Heels is nevertheless a worthy and thought-provoking read. Read more
