“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 modern classic and powerful 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Megan Hilty delivers a stellar narration as Danny in this unforgettable story of love and friendship. The novel opens on the last day of 2019, when an engagement is on the horizon. Danny dozes off and wakes in a new apartment, with a new guy, five years in the future. Hilty adds so much to the narrative and dialogue with pauses and emphasis that listeners will feel Danny's anxiety and perplexity. Back in 2020, the story takes a sad turn, and Hilty adjusts her pacing and tone to enhance the mood. Hilty's talent especially shines again at the end, when listeners revisit the scene from five years earlier. Now, knowing the path that led to that night, Hilty delivers the same scene with reverence, clarity, and longing."

Absolutely beautiful!

This book really wasn't what I'd originally thought it would be. It was a lot deeper.
I'm going to be honest, I cried for the entire last third of the book. This was just the best book. I loved all of the characters. Especially Bella. While I typically don't like "Bellas", this one was just a very special person. So much deeper than your average "Bella". The friendship between those two was the most beautiful thing I've ever read about.
Read this book! Your life will look so much better afterwards.

The narrator, Megan Hilty was excellent!

The life lesson it taught me

This book will always live with me. I don’t know if I should cry happy tears or sad tears but this book was incredible. Life is so precious and this book is a reminder of that.

Loved This Book!

It’s a tear jerker and you won’t guess the ending, which I usually do.
So well written and performed. Megan has a wonderful voice.
A sad, but lovely story. A real life story. Not an escape, but you don’t want to miss it. But this book/audiobook.

Heart warming story of friendship and love

Beautiful story of friendship love and grief touched me loved the narration. Must read this summer

A powerful story about loss and uncertainty of the future

This is a very emotionally intense story and I found myself struggling at times with the feelings it brought out in myself. It is about loss but also about how the plans we make that we think will make our lives perfect are often a lie we tell ourselves. I picked this book after reading Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library but it is nothing like that book. Almost the opposite. It brought up a lot of painful memories and feelings for me but in a good way. This story seems to be a romance at first but it isn’t. It is more of a tragedy. Like all good tragedies it’s main character is a tragic heroine with a best friend who is more lovable than her, a Horatio to her Hamlet or Mercutio to her Romeo. Read this if you want catharsis.
