The Dive from Clausen's Pier by Ann Packer

3.0

What do you do when the person you're no longer in love with suffers a paralysing injury? Break-up with them anyway and you become a heartless abandon-er; stay with them anyway and be miserable trying to fit into a life you didn't want even before the accident. Carrie is caught in just such a problem and with everyone around her telling her what she should do her instinct is to rebel. Moving to New York gives her the space and the freedom she was desperately craving but, unfortunately for Carrie, not all the strings to her home town are so easily cut. A thoughtful look at the decisions we are forced to make between personal happiness and doing what everyone else thinks is the right thing.
