when I read in five years I literally cried, but I was not happy with the ending. I thought I'd give another of her books a try.

while this one was not nearly as emotional for me and also gave me the ending I wanted I didn't love it. I can see the potential and why others would enjoy it. for me the journey to the end bounced around too much and didn't give me enough of what I really wanted because it had to wrap up the other plot points.

if you did like in five years I think this is very similarly written and has a similar "magical realism" underlying plot with the expiration dates.
