“Girl On The Run” by B. R. Myers is a captivating young adult novel that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. From the very beginning of the book, Jesse’s love for running hooked me, and I couldn’t help but endlessly flip the pages!

The story follows a seventeen-year-old track star, Jesse Collins, who dreamed of a full scholarship. Ascribed to the unforeseen death of her father, Jesse’s dream gets crushed, and running is now the last thing on her mind. Her dreams and her passion for running had died with him. Not knowing how to spend the upcoming summer, she signs up to work as a counsellor at a summer camp. Due to a mix-up, Jesse was assigned to be in charge of cabin 4A, full of mischievous twelve-year-old boys. The head counsellor, Kirk, predicts she won’t last the first few weeks. Little did he know that Jesse was an audacious and stout-hearted person. Although Jesse faces extreme challenges with the boys, especially Spencer, a sense of affiliation is present. She develops feelings for Kirk, and manages to find her old self to discover her love for running again, almost as if she was destined to be born to run.

B. R. Myers does an excellent job of building tension and suspense throughout the novel, and I found myself constantly rooting for Jesse as she navigates through a thrilling journey at camp. I particularly enjoyed the fascinating plot twists, strong female lead, and Jesse’s character development throughout the book.

I recommend this book to people who like to explore coming-of-age character development or relation to Jesse or anyone interested in track & field, like myself. “Girl On The Run” by B. R. Myers, published by Nimbus, is a perfect book to add to your beach bag for a summer read!

This book is an interesting one to write a review on, because it’s not exactly a book that I’m fond of, but I did think is was very well written. Jesse is a pretty good character, she’s a former runner, a superstar-and she was even thinking of trying out for the Olympics. But when her dad died so did her dreams. Jesse is a girl who’s grieving but is trying to fill the hole in her heart with a boyfriend, but all she’s getting is short flings with guys that she barely likes. She’s a pretty decent character to drive this story, and I like reading about her. To cope with the loss of her dad, she goes to be a councillor at camp, and there she meets many more guys. I think I’ve figured it out, I like stories where the romance isn’t the main focus of the story, or if there’s at least a decent plot behind the whole thing, not just “Wow I think I like you” and “Oh cool, I like you too”. But this wasn’t bad, I mean this had a decent plot behind things. It was just a little predictable. I would’ve appreciated a plot twist, and I mean we kind of did get one, it just didn’t hold any consequences afterwards. Maybe I wanted more drama, but I was still fine with what we got.

Kirk, the love interest, was also a good character. BUT, and there’s a huge BUT, Kirk is my dad’s name, so when Jesse was describing his abs or whatever, I kept picturing my dad, after reading the word “Kirk” all my life and putting my dad’s face to that name. So… uhm. My own brain sort of messed this up for me, but then it turns out Kirk’s parents are Star Trek fans, and they named him after captain Kirk, which is funny to me.

Sadly, again, I did not agree with the themes in this book, like the main character losing her virginity at the whopping uNmArRiEd age of sEvEnTeEn. Yay. If I had known this book would be like THAT I wouldn’t have ordered it. *ahem* apart from that, it was a book that deserves 3 stars for the quality of writing and the characters.

I would recommend this book to those of you who like to read those trendy romance books on BookTok <3

🏃‍♀️Book Review🏃‍♀️

I’ve recently finished « Girl on the Run » by @brmyers given to me for #free by @digitallylit and is published by @nimbus. This book was an absolute 5 star read and I would give it more if I could!

This book is one of my new favourite books and the absolute perfect summer read! This book was hilarious and also had great personal development and a strong storyline. All the characters were loveable in the end (even Spencer) but I especially loved the grandma. She is a hoot!!

This story follows 17 year old track star Jesse as she goes to work as a camp counsellor but finds out there’s been a mistake and she’s stuck with a cabin with 4 rowdy boys. I loved this book because I also work at a summer camp so I could easily relate to Jesse.

This book also had a great subplot of romance and some good plot twists. I liked how we got to see Jesse’s development as she decides to start running again.

This book was spectacular and I recommend it to everyone looking for their next summer read and a new favourite book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently read girl on the run by B.R. Myers’s from nimbus publishing and I loved it! It is all about Jesse Collins, a track and field star who leaves home to work as a summer camp counselor.

After a mix-up at registration, she’s put in charge of a boys’ cabin, and the head counselor, Kirk, predicts she won’t last the first two weeks. In the midst of fending off four twelve-year-old boys who are hell-bent on mortifying her and a growing attraction to Kirk, Jesse finds the inspiration to run again from an unlikely source. But getting her old life back isn't that easy and soon Jesse will realize that a good pair of legs can take a girl far, but she'll never outrun the truth.

I really loved this book because Myers’s made the characters relatable and the setting very visual. I could see everything in this book! I loved all the boys the way Jesse did!

I rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 stars)
