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.

Product description

Review

Praise for In Five Years:

“What would you do if you glimpsed your life five years from now—and found that it was different, in every way, from what you hoped for and expected? Rebecca Serle pairs this inspired premise with deft, propulsive prose and characters who feel as real as friends.
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

In Five Years is a profound tale of unconditional love and anguish with a touch of the mystical and mysterious.”
New York Journal of Books

“You'll devour it.”
Marie Claire

“Rebecca Serle has a way of blending a little bit of magic into the every day.”
HelloGiggles

Bustle

“Be prepared for deep emotions, a few laughs, and possibly a few tears as well. Reading this book is truly an experience.”
Seattle Book Review

captivating exploration of friendship, loss, and love.” Booklist

JAMIE FORD, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

“I adored
In Five Years, it’s so poignant and tender. It broke my heart, such an unusual idea executed brilliantly, I didn’t see that twist coming! I’m a sucker for great love stories, and this one is just lovely. A keeper on my shelf!” —JOSIE SILVER, author of #1 New York Times bestseller and Reese’s Book Club pick One Day in December

In Five Years is more than just a love story; it’s a half dozen of them, none quite what you expect.

“A heartwarming portrait of a broken heart finding a little healing magic.” —
Kirkus Reviews

“When smart, thoughtful writing pairs with a compelling, ingenious plot I am hooked and so very happy. It’s been a long time since I read a novel in two sittings, but as soon as I started
In Five Years, I was a goner. Loved it! Brava, Rebecca Serle.” —ELINOR LIPMAN, author of Good Riddance

“I just finished
In Five Years and—my heart—oh! What a clever, beautiful, special book. The writing is stunning, the concept is so original—it just has everything going for it. I loved every page.” —BETH O'LEARY, author of The Flatshare

“With masterful storytelling and all the ingredients of a romantic comedy, Rebecca Serle weaves a story far deeper than the genre typically dares to go.
In Five Years isn’t simply a book you will read, it is a book that will change you.” —JENNY MOLLEN, New York Times bestselling author of I Like You Just the Way I Am

“I read it in one late night. Very, very clever. And lovely. The end is EXACTLY what it should be.” —
ANSTEY HARRIS, author of Goodbye, Paris

    Wow this book absolutely wrecked me. This was not at all what I was expecting but I absolutely loved it. I was expecting more of a traditional romance book, but was pleasantly surprised with the direction the plot went in. I balled my eyes out the last few chapters and immediately had to text my best friend when I was down reading. This was almost a 5 star read for me, but would have loved a more finite ending for the main character.

    Great book. Easy read. I quite enjoyed her book called "One Italian Summer" and thought I'd give this one a try. I was not disappointed: this book is full of surprises, friendships get tested, a bit of time-travel and romance. I've shed a few tears reading the last few chapters. Overall, I quite enjoyed this book and would recommend it. It would make for a nice beach read if your looking for something light and not complicated to follow!

    Absolutely in love with this story and the characters. I was hooked from beginning to end, so much so that I had to put actual effort into going to sleep, unable to put the book down. The story comes full circle and the ending was perfect, in my opinion. I'm honestly so happy I found this book. Can't wait to read the sequel!

    Also, no problems regarding the delivery of the actual book for me, it came in perfect condition and arrived earlier than expected. :)
