![]() Unfortunately, this trait was never shown again in the rest of the book. In the beginning, Dannie liked numbers and that is demonstrated in the first chapter as she narrates how she lives her life through quantities and counting. Dannie’s character had room to grow after seeing this window into the future but concerning inconsistencies in character development short changed the reader. The idea of experiencing an hour of your life five years in the future intrigued me – though as I continued to read on, I was displeased with Serle’s execution. That is until four and a half years later when she meets her best friend’s new boyfriend, the mysterious man she had met in her apartment during her future visit. ![]() Although she is only there for an hour, when she returns to real-time, Dannie struggles to move on with her life and forget the future that keeps popping up in her mind. There, she finds herself in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and a stranger sitting next to her. In Five Years focuses on the life of Dannie Kohan, who, just after she nails an interview for her dream job and gets engaged, falls asleep and awakens five years in the future. ![]() As with most of the books I read, the synopsis of In Five Years by Rebecca Serle, immediately itched my need to snuggle up and read a good book for the entire afternoon. ![]()
