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.

predictable, but not.. I throughly enjoyed the emotion expressed through the beautiful writing in this book, yet I found it to be a bit short and slightly predictable. The ending was expected, but I think the character development was a bit underdeveloped. Overall, if you’re looking for a quick book to get you out of a reading slump, this is for you.
Really great read that pulls you in. At first I thought this would be any other romance novel but it is anything but. Brings you in to a really powerful story about friendship and letting go of trying to control your future
Unexpectedly Amazing!. I really enjoyed this book! I love the characters and the writing style. I will recommend to everyone!
be warned! Fun for the first half.... SPOILER Alert if you plan to buy this. What starts out as a fun read becomes a total nightmare of cancer, misery and loss. (editors and reviewers - did we read the same book?!)
In Five Years. A beautiful story of love and friendship. Couldn’t put it down.
Decent but nothing special. It is a nice story of friendship and grief. I picked up the book thinking that it will be deep in ways that will leave a lasting impression on me, but it didn’t.
Gave me tears and joy. It’s an amazing book with the lovely New York City in it. I learned so much from these two amazing best friends. I cried a lot but also laughed and made me realized of so many things we don’t think about because of ours rush speed lives. Please read it, it will give you something special too.
Amazing, I have no words. When I fall for. Book, I fall for it hard. This is what happened here in less than 24 hours I finished this book. I laughed, I cried, and I understood so much that I can’t believe it’s over. I’m so glad I read it and hope many more people read it and enjoy it as much as I did.
Amazing!!. Absolutely loved this book! Had my mother in law reading it too and she loved it too!! Gripping story with great characters!
Feel good not life changing. I enjoyed this quick read while on vacation. The writing is nice but not earth shattering.
5 star. Honestly, great, emotional, messy. Wow.
Love love love. This book made me fall in love with reading again!
Emotional, beautiful, unexpected love story.. Simply perfect
UGH SO GOOD. So unpredictable and read in two sittings! Wish I could read for the first time again!
Amazing!. I read this in two days. It is so good snd such a easy read.
Never cried like this. This isn’t your run of the mill romance. This book features a lawyer and her relationships with her partners and best friend. This book will make you cry, and hug your friends even tighter. Don’t read if you want a happy book, or even a romance story
Interesting read!. Thanks.
solid. Bella and Dannie's relationship was beautiful. this book was good I did indeed shed a tear or 2
Ehh…. I feel like I read for three years to get to what I was waiting for and then nothing happened… far fetched and just bleh…
Must read. Couldn’t put it down. Not what you expect
Friendship, expectations and surprised. An easy read. Interesting and satisfying ending.
Binge Read!. The fastest I’ve ever read a book! I devoured this book in ONE DAY, I have two little kids so that’s a nearly impossible task. The story, the characters…everything. Just such phenomenal story telling.
Unexpected emotional twist!. At first I was upset at the twist this story had but then fell in love with how emotional and sweet this ended up being. I started reading not knowing it was going to be such a sad story but I did smile in the end with the way things fell into place. Ending being about friendships truly made this so great. Her friendship with Bella was beautiful and Bella cared so much for her. I would a sequel and to know where and with who Dannie ends up. Dr. Shaw or maybe Aaron!?!
Wow. This is the best book I’ve read since getting back into reading in my adult life. I had no idea how the author would connect the beginning to the end, and let me tell you it was nothing like I thought. This was the first book I read by Rebecca Serle but it definitely won’t be the last!
Quite literally one of the worst books ever. I won’t even waste my time writing a coherent review because this book was not. It was incredibly ridiculous…the ending was just…WHAT. I will give it to the author, the idea for this was amazing, it really does sound like a phenomenal story on the blip on the back of the book, but dear god if I could forget this book, I would.
Fantastic and surprising!. Loved every bit of it!
In Five Years. This story was woven so well. I read the entire novel in one day - could not put it down!
A must read. Must read.
Chick flick in a book. Super easy read with enough to keep you paging through. Just enough detail to make you feel something. I read this 2 years ago and I still think about this book often
Just read it.. Amazing.
Real friendship. Get tissues for this book.. you’ll need them. I read it in one sitting.. this book reminded me what friendship is really about. So happy I read it
Enjoyable. Enjoyable read…just live!
Grief. This was very close to my heart and unique
I want more…. A friend of mine suggested I start reading(I never read) and sent me a screenshot of this cover. GREAT book… I read it in 3 days 😅 definitely a MUST read!!
Quick read. Really enjoyed this story and how one particular scene can mean two different things based one where you are in your life at that time. Finished in just a couple of days while traveling. Definitely recommend
Loved it!!. From the beginning I was pulled into this story of true friendship, love and loss. I could not put the book down. I like that a book that is enjoyable and also pulls at the heart strings. It was well written.
10/10. a tale of the truest and most delicate form of love… friendship. honestly one of the most well written and heart breaking novels i’ve ever read.
Not what i thought was going to happen. Before buying the book and reading the description, in my mind I thought it was going to elaborate on her waking up in a different life - that, that was going to be what the book was about . But i never would have guessed how the actual story plays out & what happens.
Unexpected. Loved it!. I love the way this book is written. The way things are worded and the way she forms sentences. The story was unexpected had me looking forward to reading more each day. It’s deep. Highly recommend.
Extremely depressing. Extremely depressing. It never lets up or turns around.
Bait and switch. Spoiler alert here:. Spoiler alert. This book is about someone dying a painful graphic death from cancer. Not cool. Readers should know in advance what they are choosing to read. Tragic death holds trauma. Do not surprise readers with that. Book description is not accurate. It’s a good book but I didn’t appreciate that.
Meh. The characters were unbelievable as they were too perfect or too imperfect. This story just wasn’t realistic to me.
Heartbreaking and beautiful. I read this in two days. It was a wonderful story of friendship, heartbreak and the complexity of it all.
Quick poignant read. I really enjoyed this book. It was a gentle reminder to stay present and enjoy the time you have with the people you love!
Hmmm. Yet another story about the privileged and pathetic class. Oh dear let’s weep over a glass of barolo as we feast on the name dropping restaurant fare. Shall it be Paris or Morocco while we celebrate greed as a trait to aspire to. A clueless angst ridden story with shallow characters who have no idea what loss is that floods the lives of people on a daily basis. Perhaps the author may benefit by living in a country where the children make their home in garbage dumps or where families survive in toxic environments or constant wars. OMG tragedy, the wine glass is empty…give me a break E
Not that great. I was excited to read this book because it sounded right up my alley. I was disappointed not only throughout the entire novel but especially at the ending. Not a great plot and not well written either. The main character is self centered and boring.
Rating. So good.
Have your tissues ready!. Such a sweet and sad story! I didn’t realize it was going to be so sad and emotional! But such a great story! I enjoyed it!
Spontaneous, over easy. She captured her readers in a way that only you would know. If i knew what my life would be like in 5 years, to have that i would. the book made me question myself about the five years of my life but it also made me quite frenetic. If it helped me get out of a book slump maybe it will help you too.
Delicious! I’m sad it’s over. I didn’t want it to end.. I could feel Danni’s love for Bella and her heartbreak.

Not at all what I was expecting!. This book was not what I was expecting! People that know me know I like to plan life like a 5 year plan like the main character of the book Dannie. I ‘m a numbers girl. But life is not like that as we all know. This book was refreshing! It is about the importance and significance of friendships. We often take for granted our friends in our lives. This book reminds us of what is really important. Great book for an easy read!
Surprising twist. I loved this book, it made me cry. Wonderfully written, interesting twist at the end. ❤️
A beautiful story of friendship. I really enjoyed this book, it was thoughtful and beautiful and the story unfolded in a way I hadn’t expected.

I didn’t love it. I don’t know what I expected going into this book, but this was definitely not it. Don’t get me wrong, this was a beautiful story. Truly. But I felt it was a bit dragged on and I was honestly waiting for it to end. I also was not a big fan of the ending.
In Five Years. Wow that’s all I can say at this moment. It caught me off guard. Probably one of the best books I’ve read. I want more.
Rating. So good.
In 5 years. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I literally read it in 3 days because I couldn’t put in down!
Saaaad. Omg this left me with a hole in my heart. Too sad
Loved it!. It was an easy read and the premonition really took me by surprise. When I first opened the book it only had four starts, but I’m so glad I picked it up anyways. A beautiful story about friendship.
It was ok. Thought it was ok. I was getting kind of frustrated at how the main character is basically obsessed with work and always having things in order. It felt boring and lacked dept. it’s a very easy read as well. The ending was not what I expected, but I just didn’t personally relate to the ending.
Delicious! I’m sad it’s over. I didn’t want it to end.. I could feel Danni’s love for Bella and her heartbreak.
Loved. I didn’t expect the story to turn out like it did!
In Five Years. A beautiful story of love and friendship. Couldn’t put it down.
Good read. So many turns in the book and outcome is not what I expected. But then again it was what I expected after reading a few more chapters.
be warned! Fun for the first half.... SPOILER Alert if you plan to buy this. What starts out as a fun read becomes a total nightmare of cancer, misery and loss. (editors and reviewers - did we read the same book?!)
solid. Bella and Dannie's relationship was beautiful. this book was good I did indeed shed a tear or 2
Friendship, expectations and surprised. An easy read. Interesting and satisfying ending.
Must read 😭♥️. This book was absolutely incredible. From start to finish is captivating detail oriented and beautifully written. It was easy to get wrapped up in the emotions, the weight of the words, The imagery and how the words appeal to your senses. Simply beautiful.
Easy read. The writing is well done. The author draws you in and you understand her feelings and thoughts throughout. The style is easy and natural. The story is unexpected and endearing.
Unexpected...beginning to end.. So good! Grabbed me and didn’t let me go...ever!
Read it. I finished this book in 24 hours
Loved it.. Amazing.
Good. I was very disappointed with the ending.
Feel good not life changing. I enjoyed this quick read while on vacation. The writing is nice but not earth shattering.
Unexpected. Loved it!. I love the way this book is written. The way things are worded and the way she forms sentences. The story was unexpected had me looking forward to reading more each day. It’s deep. Highly recommend.
Could not put it down!. I literally could not put this book down. I binge read for 5 hours! Has me rethinking my life 🥲.
Everything from light hearted fun and love, to heart shattering grief. I love how realistic this novel is; From Dannie’s work, to her relationship struggles with David and Greg/Aaron, to her close friendship with Bella. The way the tone and diction makes you fall into a deep connection with each character is exquisite, and you can see their true colors come out. Everything from light hearted fun and love, to heart shattering grief; by far my favorite novel.
Love love love. This book made me fall in love with reading again!
In Five Years. Great story of love, life’s ups and downs and fierce friendship. Enjoyed it greatly!
Great page turner!. I LOVE this book so much. It is captivating from page one and every page after! Read it in 2 days
Could not finish it.. First book I have ever reviewed. This book is just awful. Bad writing. Bad premise. Put it in my trash can after about 40 pages.
Loved it!!. From the beginning I was pulled into this story of true friendship, love and loss. I could not put the book down. I like that a book that is enjoyable and also pulls at the heart strings. It was well written.
I wish I hadn't read it, save your time.. This book had some good ideas that never came together. The plot is so ill-placed that it ended as quickly as a bad sitcom that was canceled mid-season. One of the worst parts is that the entire story is from only the main character’s POV. Literally no one else. There’s a total of about twenty pages of dialogue from all the other characters combined. The love interests are at their core the same person, and they're both treated as disposable. Even the main character describes her best friend as a vapid hippie but implodes when they're separated. The plot and writing are painful because the book is peppered with erroneous name drops of different high-end clothing designers, tourist trap overpriced NYC restaurants, and parts of the city that have no bearing on the story. No character development, multiple changes in story direction for no reason, and a lack of a solid ending. I wish I hadn't paid for this book because I wouldn't even read it for free now or recommend it to anyone unless I dislike them.
A lovely surpise. This book really surprised me. I thought it was going to be an easy beach read without much behind it, but it wasn’t. It was and it wasn’t. It was easy to read yet heartbreaking and beautiful and left me in tears that I needed.
Just read it.. Amazing.
Couldn’t put fown. This is my first book review because I felt I had to share what an amazing book this is! Read in two sittings. I felt so connected to the characters and want more now!
Gripping. Beautiful story about friendship and how we depend on each other. The story takes an unexpected turn that left me crying. Best to read with a good friend.
Amazing!. I read this in two days. It is so good snd such a easy read.
Beautiful and magicsl. A read that will rip your heart open.
Beautiful.. Absolutely beautiful. Absolutely worth your time and tears.
Whirlwind of a novel. I had no idea what to expect from this book, but in the best way possible the plot twist was heart wrenching and eye opening. This was my first read in a long time, I had a hard time putting my iPad down.
Beautiful. A beautiful telling of learning about unexpected love in the most tragic loss.
Easy and predictable. Nice quick read.
Gave me tears and joy. It’s an amazing book with the lovely New York City in it. I learned so much from these two amazing best friends.

5 star. Honestly, great, emotional, messy. Wow.
Ehh…. I feel like I read for three years to get to what I was waiting for and then nothing happened… far fetched and just bleh…
Nothing. I would rate it zero if there was a ‘0’. After reading the first paragraph I closed the book. Boyfriend was in bed with her, if it was a her. That is unholy fornication.
Fantastic and surprising!. Loved every bit of it!
Wow. Amazing book. I couldn’t put it down. Read the entire book in two days.
In Five Years. Read this in a two night binge!!
Meh. The characters were unbelievable as they were too perfect or too imperfect. This story just wasn’t realistic to me.
