Very good and imaginative book. Who would you have dinner with if you had the choice to pick anyone from history, dead or alive? How many of us have ever thought of this question, ever? The answer might surprise all of us when it all comes down to it and the answers might change any number of times. Excellent and quick read in which the main character gets her wish for her birthday. This book does not disappoint.

“Love doesn’t require a future."

In In Five Years, writer Rebecca Serle creates a maze of love, fate and controlled destiny. The story follows Dannie Kohan, a measured and driven young attorney in New York City, who gets engaged to her longtime boyfriend on the same night she has a startling glimpse of herself five years in the future. In this vision, she discovers her carefully calculated life has gone awry. Her future self is not only engaged to someone else but she seems to be living another life entirely; a life that has completely deviated from the future she has meticulously planned her entire adulthood.
The novel's dual timelines create a captivating tapestry, weaving a story that keeps readers eagerly turning pages until every piece falls into place. This structure keeps the reader engaged, as they are constantly trying to piece together the puzzle of Dannie's life and how she arrived at her future. Serle's writing is engaging and easy to follow, and she creates characters that are relatable and well-developed.

Highly recommended as one of the most unique books I have read in recent memory. In Five Years explores an unexpected range of emotions with lots of unexpected twists and turns. The character connection created by Serle is effortless. This enjoyable and thought-provoking novel is the perfect light read for fans of chicklit and magical realism.

After losing her mother to cancer, Katy decides to take the trip to Italy that the two of them were planning to take together. There, she will encounter a mysterious woman who reminds her of her mother and a man who will make her question her life choices.

To enjoy this novel, you need to let go of a part of your logic and reasoning. Similar to [b:In Five Years|50093704|In Five Years|Rebecca Serle|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1586399012l/50093704._SY75_.jpg|71431652], this book has a supernatural twist that is the key to the story. It wasn't incorporated perfectly, but I didn't mind. I liked the other big twist that happened in that part of the plot and didn't see it coming.

When Katy saw the photo of herself in her mom's room, I was totally shocked I dropped my Kindle. It was such a good twist! However, Katy's behaviour afterwards was silly and unbelievable.

The weakest part for me was the whole Adam subplot, which wasn't very satisfying and felt a little redundant/unfinished to me.


This book is mostly about the narratives we create about people we love and the fact that we never really know the whole truth. The truth may, after all, not even be more important than love. I didn't expect this novel to go in that direction and for that, I give this 4 stars. I enjoyed being mentally transported to the Amalfi coast, that is the biggest value of this book.
