It depends on comparable theses in your discipline, but in mine, also in social sciences, 60,000 words would be way too long. I also had a really long lit review, and am splitting it into two chapters, one focusing on context, and the other a really targeted, concise lit review which I think will be about 15,000 words. Maybe you need to think about restructuring?
