💔 Why I Wrote Half Love — A Story for Every Woman Who Chose Herself
What made me think of Half Love?There’s a space between heartbreak and healing that no one talks about. A space where you’re not fully over the past, but also not willing to go back. That’s where Half Love was born.It began with a simple thought: What happens when love doesn’t break you… but leaves you unfinished?I wanted to write about the in-between. About the kind of women who look “fine” on the outside but are quietly rebuilding themselves inside.
Is it a love story?Yes. But not just between two people. It’s a love story between a woman and herself.Jacqueline’s journey isn’t just about falling for someone new. It’s about learning to trust herself again. To let go of guilt. To breathe without apologising.There’s a man in the story—of course—but the real romance is watching a woman come back home to herself.
Why South Africa? Why now?Because women everywhere, especially in places like South Africa, are told to keep things together. To stay. To forgive.And this book gently asks: But what if you didn’t? What if walking away was the beginning—not the end?Set against the soulful coast of South Africa, Half Love captures the reality of modern womanhood, where home isn’t just a place—it’s a decision.
What makes Half Love different from other women’s fiction?It doesn’t glamorise pain.It doesn’t paint healing as perfect.It doesn’t promise that the right man will fix everything.Instead, it gives you raw moments, messy friendships, late-night doubts, and soft strength. It’s relatable, emotional, and deeply rooted in real-life choices.
Is it inspired by real stories?Yes—bits and pieces. Conversations with women. Moments I’ve lived through. Emotions I’ve seen firsthand.But more than anything, it’s a tribute.To every woman who gave too much.To every girl who dimmed her light.To the ones who finally said, “enough.”
Why the title Half Love?Because that’s what Jacqueline had. And that’s what too many women settle for.But this book shows what happens when you walk away from half… to make room for whole.
