'One night in London, Irina McGovern's destiny hinges on a single kiss. Whether she leans into one alluring pair of lips will determine whether she stays with her long-term partner Lawrence, or runs off with Ramsey, a hard-living snooker player.
A parallel-universe structure allows us to follow Irina's competing futures with two drastically different men. An intellectual and fellow American, Lawrence is smart and supportive, but rigid and emotionally withdrawn. A British celebrity, Ramsey is passionate and spontaneous, but jealous, undereducated, and prone to pick fights. Irina's choice of partner will have ramifications for her relations with friends and family, for her career, and, most importantly, for the texture of her daily life.'

Ooooooh how pleased am I that I got this book!!! I've had my eye on it for a while in Waterstones....

I am going to lend it to lovepurple1 before I read it, purely cos she has a book drought and I have a scary pile of to be read.

Very interesting - I was a bit bogged down in how much LS thinks she is clever at first - she IS clever but I don't really want to KNOW that so much - she just seems so pleased with herself.... but then if I could write as well as she does...

anyway, actually not only is this a clever book, it's a good and interesting one. And sometimes it came a bit too close to home if I am honest. I'd chose the "bad" guy every time...

This is off to Ace from the July YBS - Acey I hope you enjoy it too.

received in the mail today. Thanks!!

My mom, AceofHearts, passed away from breast cancer on September 17, 2013. Aside from being one of the best people I know, she was an avid reader and took immense pleasure in Bookcrossing, her book club, and reading many great books. Unfortunately she didn't get around to reading this book.

I will be releasing this in my mom's memory.

Shared this book with a colleague.
