Explanation As Books Running in Heels
"To say that Babs has been my closest friend for sixteen years is rather like saying that Einstein was good at sums. We were blood sisters from the age of eleven (before my mother prized the razor out of Babs's hand)." But now Babs, noisy and as fun as a day at the beach, is getting married. And Natalie Miller, twenty-seven, senior press officer for the London Ballet, panics. What happens when your best friend pledges everlasting love to someone else? It doesn't help that Nat is dating a guy named Saul Bowcock. As the confetti flutters, her good-girl veneer cracks, and she falls into an alluringly unsuitable affair that spins her crazily out of control. Nat is on the rebound and allergic to the truth—about Babs's relationship, her boyfriend's ambition, her parents' divorce, and her golden-boy brother's little Australian secret. Her mother's lasagna and her roommate Andy's fuzzy slippers are also monstrous affronts. But what Nat really needs to face is the mirror—and herself . . . . Wickedly witty and refreshingly honest, Running in Heels is a hilarious look at the lies we tell ourselves—and the unwanted truths that only our best friends can tell us.Identify Books During Running in Heels

What a fun read and entirely engrossing!I thought this book would be right up my alley and hoped it would give me funny insight into what my girlfriends went through when I was the first of our group of best friends to get married. What i got was another chick lit book where the main character is an unemployed publicist/journalist and an emotional mess and yet men fight over her like idiots (but she sleeps with all of them) and ends up with her finding the right job/career and right man, who was there all along (with her parents'
I bought this book many years ago, when it first came out, and, as with many books in my life - to my shame - has languished on a bookshelf for years whilst other books and indeed other things in life have come and gone. In a bid to reduce the clutter, I am trying to get through some of these older books, and ended up grabbing this one at random. And I have to admit to wondering what it was about this book that ever appealed to me in the first place? I can only assume that I was going through a
At first I did not like this book it was not what I expected. I thought it was a light fun chick-lit/romance. When I read it the for the 2nd time I found the book to be very insightful into the world of eating disorders.
ok i finished it. almost threw it aside a few times, but i got sucked in at the end. tried to squeeze way to much in- family issues, relationship troubles (3 different boyfriends in one book), friendships. and then the main character all of the sudden has an eating disorder that was revealed half way through the book and hardly was foreshadowed at all. to top it off it was talked about by the characters pretty lightly in the book but the behaviors described were VERY SERIOUS. like go to the
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
The first half of this book killed me. Everything goes wrong for this woman and she won't just speak her mind. It drove me crazy. She finally gets a hold of herself and sees her life falling part and decides to make some changes, yay! It was a tough book for me to get through but in the end I'm glad I did.
