June book: The Post-Birthday World by Lionel Shriver
chosen by Bridget
Book Description:
"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."
What we discussed about the book:
Not everybody finished the book.
Most people thought the writing was pretty heavy, and difficult to get into.
I didn't take many notes because I forgot I had to do it, so unfortunately I couldn't tell you what else was discussed!!
And then we were sidetracked into:
- Have any of us had our life changed based on a single event or moment - most people had at least one thing that shaped their lives!
- Do we think you end up at the same 'end-point' regardless of the decisions you make (ie, is it all 'predestined.'?
- Birth control options for some of the mums!
- Exes - most of us admit we think about our exes from time to time,and that Facebook has made checking out what they're up to MUCH easier!
And in other news:
- We checked out Bridge's new house, which was lovely :-)
- I (Pip) told people that I bought my wedding dress from Collette Dinnigan!
