Should We Stay or Should We Go

On one hand, it's always comforting to read such elaborate prose with the right choice of words and impeccable editing as Shriver's books always have. On the other hand, it's bizarre, a bit too bitter and political, and Kay and Cyril are not that interesting as to have their multiple destinies followed.
That said, it rang home because apparently im already at an age when this topic made sense to think about. Sigh.
