The plot of this novel is a love triangle where book illustrator Irina leaves her defacto husband, the reliable but dull Lawrence, for the sexy, handsome snooker champion Ramsey. That is one option however as what we have is a parallel universe where each chapter swaps back and forth from alternative scenarios where she does or she doesn't and how each choice affects all aspects of Irina's life . I did find the characters a bit unlikeable and self obsessed but an interesting look at the minutae of relationships . I found myself reflecting on my own choices in life and thoughts on happiness and contentment.
