“Love doesn’t require a future."

In In Five Years, writer Rebecca Serle creates a maze of love, fate and controlled destiny. The story follows Dannie Kohan, a measured and driven young attorney in New York City, who gets engaged to her longtime boyfriend on the same night she has a startling glimpse of herself five years in the future. In this vision, she discovers her carefully calculated life has gone awry. Her future self is not only engaged to someone else but she seems to be living another life entirely; a life that has completely deviated from the future she has meticulously planned her entire adulthood.
The novel's dual timelines create a captivating tapestry, weaving a story that keeps readers eagerly turning pages until every piece falls into place. This structure keeps the reader engaged, as they are constantly trying to piece together the puzzle of Dannie's life and how she arrived at her future. Serle's writing is engaging and easy to follow, and she creates characters that are relatable and well-developed.

Highly recommended as one of the most unique books I have read in recent memory. In Five Years explores an unexpected range of emotions with lots of unexpected twists and turns. The character connection created by Serle is effortless. This enjoyable and thought-provoking novel is the perfect light read for fans of chicklit and magical realism. ( )

What would you do if you were given a glimpse of your life 5 years from now, and it's nothing you expect it to be?

Danni is an extreme "A type" most people will have trouble connecting to, a person who lives by numbers and plans everything to a minute. She's best friends with Bella, her free-spirited friend who is her proverbial opposite. The depiction of their friendship is the only redeeming quality of this book.

I read this in one sitting, so I can't say this was entirely poorly written. However, I had major issues with this book. I found these two main characters difficult to relate to and pretty shallow for the most part. There is also annoyingly too much brand name-dropping in this book for my taste, listing all the fancy restaurants, hotels etc. But, that's forgivable.
Another, more serious critique is that the "future" scene is misleading and honestly - unbelievable. I don't want to get into details without spoiling this, but the story never came together for me with that ending. It just didn't make any sense.

This is a very short read. I enjoyed the book but overall it seemed dragged on and predictable. I hated the end and did relate to the main characters. But, the plot and idea of this book is FAB! ( )

Hated it. Best friend is dying of cancer. Perfect time to daydream about hooking up with their partner. Then friend dies. And they hook up immediately! Omg just no ( )

This is an incredible story and I can't believe I just wrote that.

Chapter One reaction: "Nothing about this lifestyle, writing style, main character, plot, anything, speaks to me. At. All."

Chapter Two reaction: "Foul language is dumb and unnecessary. It always makes someone sound uneducated and ignorant. People who live together for two years and say they're soul mates but don't respect one another enough to marry are really difficult to take seriously."

Chapter four reaction: "Ugh. I DON'T want to read this...but I spent money and so I feel obligated.

Chapter six reaction: "Great writer. Too bad it's wasted on such a frivolous piece of fluff."

Few chapters later but still not 'getting it': "I'm drawn into the story now that there actually is one...but I'm frustrated and a bit sickened that it looks like the author is using a serious issue to "easily" rid the scene of people and ideas who are precious. Maybe she's just immature and naive."

Chapter 35 reaction: "I can't tell if I'm mad that getting rid of "that precious thing" would be so convenient to how I think this story is going to go and therefore the author is a jerk; or if it's because she hasn't done it yet and I'm mad at myself for wanting it to happen so the story will go the 'romantic' way I want it to."

End of book reaction: "Oh my. Setting aside the many moral issues I have with all that went on in this book, this is one of the most beautiful things I've read lately. I fought back tears more than once. In fact, if I wasn't pushing back so hard against so much of the moral issues, I think this story would have consumed me for a bit.

"Love doesn't require a future." That quote came up several times throughout and most of the time I'd think, "Yeah, so just sleep with whoever, you know, because who cares about the future." But no. That's not the idea. The idea is, take a risk. Be vulnerable. Love now. Don't try to make sure it's all gonna pan out before you jump in. Don't waste time.

I have one friend that is the Bella to my Dannie. Her name is Meagan and she is absolutely Bella in all the ways. I'm not so much a Dannie---maybe the same personality in a different kind of lifestyle package. I love her deeply like Dannie and Bella loved one another. As their last few chapters played out, I could imagine Meagan and I in every single one. It's a deep in the gut love---different than romance and different than motherhood or the love one has for parents and other family. I don't know how to explain it but it's raw and so precious. It's a beautiful thing to have one friend like that---but I think one is enough for anybody.

I'm glad I read this book. I'm glad I started out forgetting that not everyone lives under my set of morals and I'm glad I was reminded that doesn't keep them from experiencing all the same human emotions that I do. The lessons this story had for me will not, I hope, be quickly forgotten. ( )

The future is the one thing you can count on not abandoning you, kid, he'd said. The future always finds you. Stand still, and it will find you. The way the land just has to run to sea.

Happiness.  The enemy of all suffering.
But the thing about parallel tracks is you can be inches apart, or miles.
We are like constellations passing each other, seeing each other's light but in the distance. It feels impossible how much space there can be in this intimacy, how much privacy. And I think that maybe that is what love is. Not the absence of space but the acknowledgment of it, the thing that lives between the parts, the thing that makes it possible not to be one, but to be different, to be two.
"You mistake love. You think it has to have a future in order to matter, but it doesn't. It's the only thing that does not need to become at all. It matters only insofar as it exists. Here. Now. Love doesn't require a future."
