I always enjoy the magical realism in Serle’s stories, and Expiration Dates was no exception. In this novel, the protagonist, Daphne, receives a note revealing how much time she’ll have with each romantic partner who enters her life, a premise I found really intriguing. However, despite the compelling concept, the characters felt somewhat one-dimensional to me. For those new to Serle’s work, I’d recommend One Italian Summer as a better introduction to her writing.
