Rebecca Serle has such a way with words. In Five Years was a beautiful read that brought out every emotion. Can't wait to read more from her.

Lovely book, good characters and great settting. An emotional read, perfectly pitched for this genre. Really enjoyed this novel and would recommend.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

5 star review!

What an unforgettable read! Absolutely loved this heartbreaking book that had twists and turns throughout it, bursting with so much love I just couldn't put it down.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

I loved Rebecca Serle writing. The way she captures the characters is just wonderful.
The book is fun, fast & fantastic. This is a proper page turner.
Thank you to Quercus & NetGalley for gifting me this book,

A fantastic read, quite fast paced. Not the usual plot, a little different than the rest. All the characters were likeable just something missing for the 5th star. Would recommend tho

I found it difficult to connect with these characters as they were very one-dimensional. Also, I strongly disliked the direction this book went in. This book is not for me but I would consider picking up a different book by this author.

This story was tantalizing, juicy, and fun! I found myself really enjoying this tale of thrilling twists and turns. A very addictive page-turner that I can highly recommend!

"Where do you see yourself in five years time?"
The ultimate interview question, but what if you could see what your life would be like in five years time, would you embrace the idea or would it constantly haunt you, waiting for your new life to begin?

On the day Dannie Kohan gets the important job interview of her career and gets engaged to the perfect man, she's well on her way to fulfilling her life goals. However, when she falls asleep she wakes up in a different apartment and a different life with a completely different man and it is five years later.

Yes, it is a bit far-fetched and it a bit of a stretch of your imagination to get your head around it, but the book does have it's merits and I enjoyed it, even though it confused and irritated me at times.

Such an interesting premise!

It’s really not the story I was expecting, and I’m not sure I’d class it as a romance.

The friendship between Dani and Bella is really rich and realistic, and to me this relationship grounded the whole story.

An intriguing read, but not quite executed perfectly and the ending left me a bit unsatisfied. However it certainly left me thinking long after I’d finished the last page, so it’s certainly worth a read.

Massive thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Heartbreaking, beautiful, life-affirming, and unputdownable. A completely unique story and so well written.

I firstly must admit to having had this novel for quite some time. For whatever reason, it just hadn't jumped out at me over other novels I have in my TBR pile. However, I am making a concerted effort to read novels that I've been ignoring and this made it to the top of the pile. How silly was I waiting for so long!!

Dannie Kohan is all about numbers and statistics. She lives her life in a logical manner, and leaves very little to chance. She is a lawyer with a very clear career plan, she has a boyfriend David who she knows is just about to propose and she's happy in their New York apartment. They'll be engaged for the appropriate amount of time before getting married and starting the rest of their lives together.

The only problem is the dream. The most vivid, realistic dream she's ever experienced. Five years from now, she will be in a loft apartment with another man, and a ring on her finger that is NOT her engagement ring from David. But it is all just a dream right? Fast forward to four and a half years later, and all of a sudden Dannie meets the man from her dream and he just so happens to be her best friend Bella's new boyfriend.

This is a story about how sometimes, planning your life just isn't enough. Life gets in the way and it throws curveballs that you just cannot plan for, no matter how hard you try. It's a story of love and loss, it's a story about setting yourself free of life's constraints and learning how to love and live freely in order to make the most of your life.

What a lovely novel this is! I loved it, and I am gutted that I left it so long until I picked it up to read. So I am more than happy to recommend this to you all - go grab yourself a copy!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a lovely read that helped to pull me from my reading slump. The characters were all great, really likeable. The storyline was unexpected and really well written.

A touching and charming story of love, friendship and growth, nicely twisted with a little time travel boost. With great descriptions of NYC, and absolutely brilliantly complex characters, this is one to enjoy over a nice hot chocolate!

I loved this story. It was fresh, endearing and well the ending wrecked me. I've been a fan of Serle's young adult books, looking forward to more of her adult books.

It was surprisingly good. Read this without any expectations as it was not one of my favourite genre. I enjoyd the book a lot. Well written.

Awwwww, what a beautifully written novel. Something about it that captures the readers imagination and their heartstrings. A story full of character and depth is guaranteed to give you the very best out of this book. Heartwarming and sweet, this will be a perfect summer read for everyone.

Not for me, I struggled with this and think it would be better for younger readers- didn’t finish. I’m sure others will like.

I actually didn’t know what to expect with this book and it took me a while to get through it but was a lovely read though quite emotional. I know this is classed as a romance but I felt that the friendship was the more central relationship in the story. Dannie & her friend Bella were very well written characters and the story revolves around them. Definitely worth a read for the friendship & emotions.

I read this book very quickly thanks to such an engaging talented author! Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review. Great characters, setting and storyline. Would highly recommend.

I really liked the premise of this book which is the reason I requested it to begin with but unfortunately it didn't work for me and I didn't finish reading it. I did read reviews on this however and I do agree with them, that this is not a romance. I will give this an average rating however since I didn't finish reading it and you should read other reviews of reviewers who have read the full novel before deciding if this novel is for you.
