The Post-Birthday World is a novel written in 2007 by Lionel Shriver, of We Need to Talk About Kevin fame. Irina Macgovern’s destiny hinges on a single kiss. Whether she gives into its temptation will determine whether she stays with her reliable partner Lawrence, or runs off with Ramsey, a hard-living snooker player. Employing a parallel universe structure, Shriver spins Irina’s competing futures with two drastically different men.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })If love is always about trade-offs―if every romantic prospect is flawed―how can we ever know whom to choose? | |

Author Avatar: To an extent - Irina, like Shriver, is an American living in London and Irina is half-Russian, which Shriver studied at university. Also like Irina, she ended a long-term relationship because she fell for a more 'creative type', thus inspiring the plot of this novel. | |

Fatal Flaw | |
| The Post Birthday World / int_aba8065b | comment |
Fatal Flaw: Irina's passiveness and need for a man to take care of her is this in both timelines - Her reluctance to confront Lawrence about his odd behaviour means he is able to get away with his affair with Bethany for five years, and her following Ramsey around on tournaments and letting him throw money on lavish things mean she's thoroughly unprepared when Ramsey gets sick and the money disappears. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: Bethany is mentioned in passing a few times, but her importance only becomes clear late into the book. | |

Dating What Daddy Hates: Irina's mother Raisa expresses disapproval of Ramsey when Irina takes him to meet the family for Christmas, but ironically she flirts outrageously with him in the Lawrence timeline when they meet during the book award. | |
