Currently trying to recover from an injury and having a hard time more so mentally than physically
Would love to find a book where the main plot line is an athlete recovering from an injury. Going through the ups and downs that come with it
Ideally a happy ending lol

I’m not sure what genres you enjoy, but Twelfth Knight by Alexene Farol Follmuth has a high school athlete recovering from a football injury over the course of the book. It’s also a loose adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night!
So it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but I really enjoyed the book Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey. It’s about a renowned detective who breaks his leg and spends the whole book recovering in a hospital room, with friends occasionally visiting. To keep himself intellectually stimulated he tries to “solve” the case of Richard III and the princes in the tower by reading history books.
Good luck with your recovery!
Grisham’s Playing for Pizza was great.
It’s a happy ending, but maybe not the one you’re looking for.
