In this novel, you see how one choice can affect your life and how there are some things you can't change. This book is well written and the title character, Irina, is human--flawed, fun and realistic in her actions. Version one the chapters alternate has Irina kissing Ramsey while her husband is out of town. Version two has her not kissing him and staying with Lawrence. In many ways, the author is saying: There is no bad choice, but I can't help but prefer the version where she kisses, then marries Ramsey. It is a life with passion, understanding and loss, but the other Irina sometimes seems boring and blind to what goes on around her. Definitely recommended.
