The more I read by this author, the more she reminds me of Jodi Picoult and I wonder why she is not better known.  Something about her writing is just so engaging that even when it feels little is happening, the pages keep turning.  She creates well-rounded, slightly imperfect, characters that I want to get to know in real life.

Margaret seems to have it all, and is excited for her long term boyfriend's anticipated proposal.  Suddenly everything changes and she faces a long stay in the hospital - and the realisation he is not the man she thought he was.  Whilst he wallows in self-pity she must struggle to relearn everything she's every known, and discover the new Maggie.

We learn about her difficult relationship with her mother, an estranged sister, and how she learns more about herself from Ian, her physical therapist.

An inspiring book that is a great wet Sunday afternoon or beach read - cos you'll want to read it as quickly as possible!
