omqchristi 's review for:
In Five Years
by Rebecca Serle
Ratings:
Stars: 2/5
Readability: 4/5
Plot: 3/5
Recommend: No
Summary:
Dannie's life is everything she had planned, she's engaged and about to land her dream job. But one night, Dannie awakes to find herself five years into the future, no longer engaged, in a different apartment, and with a different man. Before long, she wakes up back in the present, wondering if what she just experienced was just a dream. As four and a half years passed, she thinks little of the dream/vision. Until one day, when the man she saw in her dream/vision steps into her life.
What I Liked:
I absolutely did not expect the ending realization of what had actually happened on December 15th, 2025. I came into this book expecting a light-ish romance, but instead was served with something much more hard-hitting.
What I Didn't Like:
The separation of David and Dannie was a little odd. I kinda feel like it came up out of nowhere. I know that they were engaged for a long time, and in those 4 and half years, they pushed back a wedding, but that doesn't necessarily mean Dannie didn't want to get married. Also, why is it that David came to that conclusion so soon after Bella also told Dannie that she didn't really want to marry David? It all seems a little too perfectly coordinated.
There was no chemistry between anyone, at all.
The ending was disappointing.
Overall:
I do like it when endings are a bit more ambiguous and when the two love interests don't end up with each other, but this book did not do that. It was too ambiguous and not what I expected. I feel like there was a large chunk of text I must've skipped over. It was also just a bit disappointing and sad. I liked the beginning, didn't like the end. It just felt off.
