“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 best-selling 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.

A page turner

It was a great story, predictable, but great. The one thing that I found to be a bit much was the repetition of two words throughout the book.
A good read for social isolation days!

Change is uncomfortable.

This is a story about the curve balls of life. Those curve balls will change your path and open your understanding.

Simply beautiful, raw, heavy

I just finished this and I’m trying to gather my words. This book was everything I imagined it to be – and everything I didn’t. So beautifully written. This is your sign to kick off your shoes, enjoy a drink and dive into this wonderful story.

It's about love, but not the kind you think...

This story was not at all what I expected when I read the synopsis. I thought for sure that Dannie had the power of premonition and that life would bring her to her destined soulmate who was not David. Dannie's dream five years into the future wasn't about happily ever. This story was about love, but not of the romantic sort. It's about friendship and sisterhood. It's about know someone else just as much as they know you. Having recently lost a friend to cancer, this book hit home in all sorts of ways. Listening to Megan Hilty narrate these characters beautifully brought many tears flowing. If there is one thing I learned as I listened to this beautiful yet heartbreaking story, it was not to settle for less than what I deserve.

Such a good story!

I loved this book. It was a great story and the narrator did a fantastic job.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book.

This book keeps your toes and i enjoyed every second of it. Highly recommend the book!

It’s okay

There’s depth to parts of the story but it felt shallow throughout. The end had everything - the souls of the characters finally revealed. Would recommend to a friend.

I love this book!

It was so well written, with a great story line. I finished it in one day.

A bit too much of a romance

I found the story a bit too much of a romance novel for my tastes. I also couldn’t connect with main character. I will say that the ending was done nicely and did raise my overall impression of the book.

Loved this!

Kept me listening since moment I started. Vocals were great too, connected with characters, done well.
