Title: Not as good as Ms. Maxted's novel Getting over it
Review: After reading the novel Getting over it, I was excited to find Running in Heels! I loved Anna Maxted's first novel and couldn't wait to read Running in Heels. Unfortunately, my expectations were very high. Although both novels were brilliantly written, the subject matter of Running in Heels is most distressing. A quarter of the the way through the book it's revealed that the main character is losing control and has become anorexic. From that point on there was much discussion of her disease by her friends and family & how she was chosing to deal with it (denial). I thought I was getting a light novel about a 20something trying to make it in the world, but I got a novel about an anorexic coping & there was no forewarning. It was sad not comical and I wish I hadn't started the book. I did finish it, only to find out if she would get well or not, but I wanted to warn others who might think this book is about an ordinary girl.
Is the review positive or negative?
