In Five Years

By: Rebecca Serle

Narrated by: Megan Hilty

Perfect for fans of Me Before You and One Day, this heart-breaking story of love, loss and life will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about destiny . . .

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Type-A Manhattan lawyer Dannie Kohan has been in possession of her meticulously crafted answer since she understood the question. On the day that she nails the most important job interview of her career and gets engaged to the perfect man, she's well on her way to fulfilling her life goals.

That night Dannie falls asleep only to wake up in a different apartment with a different ring on her finger, and in the company of a very different man. The TV is on in the background, and she can just make out the date. It's the same night - December 15th - but 2025, five years in the future.

It was just a dream, she tells herself when she wakes, but it felt so real . . . Determined to ignore the odd experience, she files it away in the back of her mind.

That is, until four and a half years later, when Dannie turns down a street and there, standing on the corner, is the man from her dream . . .

In Five Years is a love story, brimming with joy and heartbreak. But it is definitely not the love story you're expecting.

Surprisingly good

A very touching book.. Though it seems to be going in a predictable manner, it surprises you. Though I found myself not liking the protagonist and therein lies the beauty of the book.. The protagonist is not perfect like all of us

Not what I expected

It was well written and performed. Though I saw where the story was going, the ending still surprised me a bit.
Also a tear jerker.

Beautiful story and beautifully written

I was gripped from the start and loved the book the whole way through. So beautifully written, and easy listen, in-depth characters, perfectly narrated and a great ending!
Would definitely recommend!

I couldn’t stop listening!

This book made me all warm and fuzzy inside. It a world where we are on constant rat races, this just gives you perspective that sometimes you just have to let go and let things unfold ❤️

A story I will hold onto for a long time

A beautiful story executed perfectly. I will hold onto this story for many year’s to come

Absolutely addictive

I couldn’t put this book down! It had me hooked from the first chapter up until the last sentence.

lighter than expected

I expected more from this book based on the description on audible. The story was very lightweight and had little content. The storyline was quite predictable.
