Wishing the author all the best with this book

Thank you to netgalley & publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for this review

This was a cozy, sweet, inspiring read. Gracie is such a loveable character and it was wonderful getting to follow her through her goals and reclaiming her life and ambitions, no matter her age. I also appreciated the exploration of family dynamics, whether it was between Gracie and her husband, her niece, or the two sisters. The side characters were wonderful and rounded out the cozy vibes.

A lovely uplifting read showing how age isn’t a barrier and we can all do things if we put our mind to it! I loved all the characters and especially the relationship between the sisters. Highly recommended.

I loved Penny’s other book The Unretirement so was very keen to read Gracie Jenkins runs a marathon and I certainly was not disappointed!
Gracie is such a likeable character, settled into retirement with her husband who has mobility issues, so life for them has changed a lot and has become quite mundane,Gracie misses the active lifestyle they used to have particularly their hiking holidays! Whilst her husband is happy pottering around in his shed fixing things and tinkering!
Gracie spurred on by her niece joins a running club and loves the socialisation of it and all it entails! When her niece gets injured and is unable to run the London marathon for a charity close to their Hearts,Gracie offers to take her place!
At 72 years of age this is a huge ask of Gracie and her aging body, however she embraces the challenge with gusto as we follow her on her training journey we experience the highs and lows with her, the process brings realisation to Gracie and in doing so allows her to view retirement in a different light, mend bridges with her sister, enjoy life again with her long suffering husband , rekindle her relationship with her son and grandchildren and enjoy life to the full!
A fantastic read championing the more nature generation
Thank you NetGalley for thus early read

This talented author has written a fun quick read. The likable characters keep the story moving. I enjoy books with seniors…mature and lively ones at that. Curl up in a comfy chair with a cup of herbal tea…enjoy an afternoon reading this story. Thanks Netgalley

I absolutely loved this book! I read it all in one sitting these past few hours. It is so lovely and inspiring to see women past their “prime” by society’s standards still be able to have a purposeful and fulfilling life. It was so interesting and fun to see Gracie Jenkins run her marathon and experience her journey throughout the book! I cannot wait to be able to spread the word how good this book is and for everyone needing that extra motivation in life to check it out!
