4.25 stars. I’m a sucker for magic realism. Let’s just get that out there 😍 the idea that Daphne knew the expiration dates of her romantic relationships just as they started is such a clever premise.

The “twist” definitely was a twist for me. Daphne’s growth was satisfying. I loved her relationship with her parents - and that talk she had with her dad, right at the end where he shared he thinks about her every day, all the time - well that just sums up parenthood for me. It brought tears to my eyes thinking about how my boys are always on my mind ❤️

Hugo was great. **spoiler**

as soon as their history came to light, I was instantly rooting for them both to be together.

The ending? Perfect. Not a pretty little bow, but perfect nonetheless.

This was a struggle. The only reason I finished this book was to find out who is sending these papers and why and we just… don’t find out??? There were so many opportunities to build on the cool concept of expiration dates and it just didn’t happen!! I am so annoyed with every supposed plot twist of this book, and I truly can’t believe I wasted my time with it. Two stars just for the dog and the parents.

I understand that Rebecca Serle is not every person's cup of tea but I love her stories. In Five Years is one of my favorites of all time and this one took me on a similar rollercoaster. Serle comes up with super fascinating story ideas and implements them is such an emotionally abusive way (complimentary/deragatory depending on how you feel about her books) that just gets my heart beating. Loved every inch of this book but especially the ending.
