Title Comments
The Post Birthday World was compulsive reading, structured obviously - but even so it was impossible not to want to know how Shriver would work it out. I absolutely refused to look at the ending because I wanted to stay on the road. The old question...passion vs. security, gets another run through in this book which features one woman - but two lives. "Nobody's Perfect" she wrote on her quote page. But which imperfection to choose?
