Review | In Five Years by Rebecca Serle

Blurb

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Type-A Manhattan lawyer Dannie Kohan has been in possession of her meticulously crafted answer since she understood the question. On the day that she nails the most important job interview of her career and gets engaged to the perfect man, she's well on her way to fulfilling her life goals.

That night Dannie falls asleep only to wake up in a different apartment with a different ring on her finger, and in the company of a very different man. The TV is on in the background, and she can just make out the date. It's the same night - December 15th - but 2025, five years in the future.

It was just a dream, she tells herself when she wakes, but it felt so real... Determined to ignore the odd experience, she files it away in the back of her mind.

That is, until four and a half years later, when Dannie turns down a street and there, standing on the corner, is the man from her dream...

Review

This novel is a beautiful love story with a twist, it draws you in and breaks your heart (make sure you have your tissues at the ready!). Serle creates a compelling, clever and unique novel with characters that you love and are instantly rooting for.

A read in one sitting kind of book! A love story I wasn't expecting. It gives you all the feels and it deserves all the stars, heart-wrenching and heartwarming & will most certainly stay with you long after you have turned the last page.

Thank-you Quercus & Netgalley for sending me a copy in exchange for an open & honest review.
