Eyes in Front When Running

by Willow Kean

This defiant and unapologetically sardonic debut novel explores the collision between fear and longing. Eyes in Front When Running  is a quick-witted family drama that uses humour to tackle heavy topics, such as the crumbling of a relationship, miscarriage, abortion, infertility, and postpartum depression. When Cleo Best moves back in with her parents after the collapse of her relationship, a series of bad decisions turn her life upside down, but somehow set it right at the same time.

One of my new all time favourites. Cleo is a fabulous character who made me laugh (and cry) and root for her the entire way through the book. A must read!

[Mary Sullivan]

Loved this book. It was a bit sad though (not weepy sad, just the characters each get something that is okay, but not at all what they expected or what they really wanted. But I enjoyed the story and the writing.

A very enjoyable debut novel. This little book has a real Newfoundland flavour to it with interesting characters as a heartwarming story. Kudos to the author!
