The Other Half Of My Heart by Stephanie Butland

4.0

This was a really enjoyable story set in the same town as [b:The Secrets We Keep|25546444|The Secrets We Keep|Stephanie Butland|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1431750890s/25546444.jpg|25591205]. Some of the main characters from the other novel appear here as secondary characters (and vice versa). The basic story is of a woman who has had a trauma in her past and has given up on the idea that she can have (or even deserves) love. She has found a way to have a pleasant life and is mostly content. When someone from that past recognises her, she is forced to come to terms with what happened and figure out if the things she thought were impossible really are. Disability (and adapting to it) is an important secondary theme.
