There’s been a lot of buzz about author Rebecca Serle’s latest book, In Five Years, and there’s a good reason for that – you won’t be able to put it down.
Manhattan lawyer, Dannie Cohen, and free-spirit, Bella, have been best friends since childhood. They’ve survived childhood trauma, loss, college, relationships and career changes all while remaining the most important person in the other’s life. So, when Dannie has a strange prophetic glimpse of herself in the near future; and sees she’s in a sexual relationship with a man who would later prove to be Bella’s boyfriend, things get weird.
Brimming with joy and heartbreak, In Five Years is an unforgettable love story that reminds us of the power of loyalty, friendship, and the unpredictable nature of destiny.
In Five Years is undoubtedly a love story. A really beautiful one with meet-cutes, ups and downs, heartbreak and reconciliation, but there’s one thing it isn’t. It isn’t a romance and it’s all the better for it.
It asks the question, what if our greatest love stories are the relationships we have with our friends? Then it answers it in a way that made me laugh, gasp in horror, swoon and cry from the first to the last page. You need to add it to your TBR list.
