In Five Years: A Novel

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A Good Morning America, FabFitFun, and Marie Claire Book Club Pick

"In Five Years is as clever as it is moving, the rare read-in-one-sitting novel you won't forget." --Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists

Perfect for fans of Me Before You and One Day--a striking, powerful, and moving love story following an ambitious lawyer who experiences an astonishing vision that could change her life forever.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Dannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers.

She is nothing like her lifelong best friend--the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. Her meticulous planning seems to have paid off after she nails the most important job interview of her career and accepts her boyfriend's marriage proposal in one fell swoop, falling asleep completely content.

But when she awakens, she's suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man. Dannie spends one hour exactly five years in the future before she wakes again in her own home on the brink of midnight--but it is one hour she cannot shake. In Five Years is an unforgettable love story, but it is not the one you're expecting.

Have you ever been a little depressed and you think, oh, here's a fast read and it's probably an easy chick lit fiction that's light and fluffy? Well then about 1/2 way, this book will truly start to reveal itself and peel off the translucent layers to showcase a beautiful ode to a friendship. When one thinks someone has it all and you don't, or vise-a-versa, you will find the hidden strength from both yourself as well as those friends.

Who we love and who we are attracted to and have that pull defies reasoning except, if you find excuses to love someone, keep moving. Don't waste each other's time. Friendship however, is always worth the time. Especially since you've met them at the age 7 and have been inseparable and loving to each other. Through thick or thin.

The ending was a complete awwwww moment. The writing is on the wall and i picked up on all if it but still, it's really nice to see it come to fruition.
