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.

Loved the premise, the beginning was really good, but I think I hated the ending. Itâs only been a few minutes though. There were some lovely parts. But I am a bit disappointed in where this ended up.
This book only took me one day to finish because I could not put it down. The characters, the buildup and the overall amazing story leads to an ultimate plot twist that made this book onto my top 5 list!
3.5 stars
Mixed feelingsâ¦I cried for a lot of the second half, which usually helps a books rating for me. However, I really struggled with Dannieâs character. I found her frustrating and also did not agree with her choices in the end. I did feel like the book was predictable what happened too. I did go into this book blind thinking it was more of a romance with some deeper lesson which definitely surprised me about 40% of the way in. Overall, good but I felt like there could have been more depth.
