It certainly felt much more than merely a dream, but she isn’t the kind of person who believes in visions. It’s the same night-December 15-but 2025, five years in the future.Īfter a very intense, shocking hour, Dannie wakes again, at the brink of midnight, back in 2020. The television news is on in the background, and she can just make out the scrolling date. Dannie goes to sleep knowing she is right on track to achieve her five-year plan.īut when she wakes up, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man. In Five Years follows Manhattan lawyer Dannie Cohan as she nails an important job interview and then accepts her boyfriend’s marriage proposal. Even though In Five Years is on the shorter side (250 pages), there’s so much that happens where the length does feel just right. And she more than delivered-honestly, not sure which one made more emotional because they are both so profound but for different reasons.
So I had extremely high expectations for In Five Years. She takes an interesting style of authentic, real emotions with a bit of whimsical qualities that truly make her novels stand apart.
It was by far one of my favorites in recent years. Her previous novel The Dinner List is such a beautiful story about love and loss. Rebecca Serle is definitely that author for me. There are some authors that write books that truly get to you on a deeper level.
