The Running Dream - Likewise Book Reviews

"For a lot of this book the main character was really in a slump after losing her leg. I found her story very heartbreaking even though we didn’t experience the accident it really put you there. I like this book a lot and Rosa and her friendship is honestly the cutest."

"This was so good."

"I really liked this book. It was really interesting for me and I loved the characters. But there was also a lot to be desired. A lot of the characters weren't described physically, so I didn't even know what the main character looked like. I also could've done without the romance subplot. "

"This is a book I read for school, but ended up really liking it after I joined cross country. I think this book helped me to fall in love with running. #running #love"

"this book was really good tbh, i read it in 2 days while i was in-patient this year. I was skeptical to pick it up because i assumed it would be about some runner or track star. I’m so glad i decided to pick it up because it’s not what i imagined at all, and even though i’ve never expected “that” type of loss, i relate to the main character so much. "

"I love this book, I was so into it and finished in two days!"

"The first time I read this was in the 7th grade. The story stuck with me for so long that this summer I found it and read it with my sister. I have never enjoyed running, but this book makes me want to get up and move! It's an easy read, but such a feel-good book. It makes you grateful for what you have, and I genuinely get goosebumps when I read it. It's an absolutely lovely novel."

"I absolutely LOVE this book I most definitely will read it again. I love how Jessica pushes herself to make her running dream come true, after losing a leg. "

"This is a great book for young adults about a girl who loves running! "

"This book was seriously amazing. It makes you want to loose a leg and start running 😂 if you like realistic fiction with a bit of romance, this is the book for you! "

"I read this in 5th grade and it moved me so much that I read it every year until now!"

"Easy ready, short chapters and fun to read "
