In Five Years despite its sad ending, was a refreshing read. I felt captivated by the story and the book had me examining my own life and the pursuit of my own goals. I wish we had gotten to see their lives unfold more but understand why things had to “finish” the way they did. 
Such a beautifully written book I’d recommend it for a quick, yet impactful read.

Its really just.. okay. I get the sentiment, and the concept is REALLY cool, and I like the idea of how much can change in five years of your life. But using a terminal illness as the push seems a bit.. disingenuous. That’s why I rated it so low.
