(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } My goal was to get back into reading and this book was perfect for that. It is a unique blend of romance, friendship, and a touch of magical realism that makes for a compelling and emotional read. Unlike typical romance novels, this book subverts expectations by focusing on deep, complex relationships—not just romantic love, but the love between best friends. The bond between Dannie and Bella is the heart of the story. It’s a quick read with a gripping premise. The NYC setting and time-jump element keep the story moving briskly
4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting premise, unexpected ending
When I read the Amazon “blurb” on this book, I went into it thinking it would be one of those two friends who agree that “if we’re not married by the time we’re 35, we’ll get together” books.It was not that. Instead, this is an interesting and sometimes uncomfortable look at the truth of the old saying that “life is what happens when you’re making other plans.” This book, with its very interesting premise, is testimony to that frustration and futility.I still haven’t resolved my feelings on the ending. For me, it was a bit surprising, but overall it makes sense.
5.0 out of 5 stars very unique read
Enjoyed the book and the charactersWill definitely read more from this authorWould recommend this book and hope you enjoy it too
3.0 out of 5 stars A tender retrospective on life
I was vested in the characters from the beginning of this novel. It's a story of everyday life, friendships, and those we love. Parallel lives that may converge or not in joy and heartache, whether living in the moment or following a best laid plan.
4.0 out of 5 stars Life Cannot be Scripted
This books was so touching and a beautiful reminder that life cannot be scripted . I really enjoyed this book and richness of the characters .
5.0 out of 5 stars A touching and lovely story
This book was riveting in its rawness and ability to make the reader feel such truth in emotion. It is about different facets of love and how we can love differently through familiarity. It splits your heart open in its path through reality while showing how grief cuts you to its core while etching the pure beauty of friendship onto a heart, always to remain a part of you. Often it is this closeness of a friend that touches us in a truer manner than a relation can ever hope to delve to the deepest level.We must be cautious with whom we trust with this depth of closeness and its fragile reality.
5.0 out of 5 stars To know but not to know.
I read it in 2 days...cried and laughed,while I had an inklingof what was about to happen it twisted...I wanted more of it. Also the book pulled on the strings of my aching heart, having lived in NYC had me back for an instance back in it. Bravo! Light and just a marvelous read.
4.0 out of 5 stars A Story of Love, Loss, and Letting Go
I don’t even know where to start with this one.It’s not the book I expected, and honestly? I think that’s the point.In Five Years hooks you with a mysterious, disorienting glimpse of the future and then quietly unravels everything you thought you knew about love, timing, friendship, and fate.Dannie is precise. Measured. A woman of plans. But none of them prepared her for the summer of 2025 when her life began to change in ways she could never have imagined. There’s a twist (or three). There’s heartbreak. And there’s beauty in the letting go.In Five Years reminded me that not every story is going to have a storybook, happy ending. But “we do not yet know what is coming…so let it be.”This book surprised me. It hurt in places I didn’t expect. But I’m glad I finally read it. I won’t forget it anytime soon.
Lovestory but different
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I really don't know why so many people didn't like the book. It wasn't the lovestory I expected this I have to admit but that made it different from all those stories where everybody already knows the end when reading the summary. This book was a surprise and it has a message in it. The ending was a bit too short for me and not really the happy end I would have wished for which is only logic knowing the story. However, I can highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to read something special and about life, the real life not "la vie en rose"!
Highly recommend it, it's absolutely fantastic.
This is the first book that I've read by this author and it was absolutely fantastic, you literally could not take your eyes from the pages, it has you complete;y hooked right from the first page and doesn't let you go until you have finished the whole book.This story line is awesome and you will be desperate to see how everything plays out until the end its not what you expect at all, it's awesome.Where do you see yourself in five years ?This is the question a lot of us ask ourselves at some point or another throughout our lives. Dannie has everything or so it seems, she has a high flying career and is about to have a massive important interview of her life that she aces. Her boyfriend has just proposed and after having a few glasses of champagne to celebrate she falls asleep thinking that she is way up on her five year plan. That is until:BOOM!When she wakes up she is some where totally different, different home, different husband and ring and a completely different life, when she realises after looking at the TV five whole years have passed. She decides to ignore what ever it was that happened, a dream a premonition whatever it was she decides to ignore it. The question is will fate let her ignore it or did it happen for a reason?( NO SPOILERS)As soon as I started reading this book I was very intrigued and I was desperate to see what was going to happen I couldn't take my eyes of the pages.The characters in this book were written so good and the friendship between Dannie and Bella is so beautiful to see and also so heartbreaking. These two are like sisters and go through so much together that your emotions will be on a roller coaster ride, you will really need the tissues when reading this book because some moments are totally heartbreaking. This book is a very powerful read and the love story between the pages that is blossoming is beautiful to see.I really enjoyed seeing how this story was going to play out, this book is a complete page turner and I couldn't put it down, I was hooked from page one and I will highly recommend this book to everyone because it is one of the best five star reads that Ive ever read and its a book you have to read. I'm glad that ive found another fantastic author to read.I will definitely look forward to more of this author's work in the future.This book is out now.
Received the book in time but damn, what a bad book.
Hella bad story. Cheating on your dying bestfriend involved. Won’t recommend. But good books seller.
The best romance I've ever read in almost 30 years!!!!
The ending is completely unexpected !The story in itself is a beautiful and in my opinion a genuine life lesson.
Romanzo sul ruolo dell'amicizia
Ho acquistato questo libro per avere una lettura più leggera da fare in vacanza, tratta in inganno sia dalla copertina che dalla classificazione come romanzo rosa. Secondo me, questa è una storia che parla di amicizia femminile e di quel momento nella vita in cui gli amici si sostituiscono alla famiglia. Detto questo, l'ho amato moltissimo e l'ho trovato scorrevole e ben scritto. La storia mi ha appassionata e ci sono stati vari colpi di scena che non mi sarei aspettata. Mi aspettavo decisamente qualcosa di diverso quando l'ho acquistato ma, nonostante questo, non mi sono pentita affatto di averlo letto.
