She is nothing like her lifelong best friend-the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. 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.ĭannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers. “ 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 This review has been updated to remove a spoiler.A Good Morning America, FabFitFun, and Marie Claire Book Club Pick Serle’s whimsical tale is book club catnip. While the plot hinges on well-worn tropes, the deadpan prose highlights the author’s keen sense of irony. She senses a mutual recognition, and, after Bella receives devastating news, Dannie and Aaron grow closer.
On a rainy day in June 2025, she meets up with Bella, now a successful art dealer, and is stunned to find her accompanied by Aaron, the man from her dream.
Upon waking, Dannie begins to second-guess her regimented course, and as the years pass, she puts off the marriage. In her dream, it’s the year 2025 and she lives with a man named Aaron Gregory. After accepting the proposal, Dannie slips into a deep sleep and dreams of an alternate future, where everything is off-kilter. Dannie expects to get married by the time she’s 30 right on track, David proposes, giving Dannie a ring picked out by her best friend Bella. At 28, Dannie Kohan lives happily with her boyfriend, David, in a Manhattan apartment and is poised to land her dream job as a lawyer at a top firm. Serle’s bewitching story of love and friendship (after The Dinner List) centers on a young woman who plans her life down to the minute until fate gets in the way.
