A review by sb_037
In Five Years by Rebecca Serle

fast-paced

2.5

Dannie is a truly insufferable, pompous, elitist main character whose unlikability was something I wasn’t able to truly get past. Additionally, Serle’s woefully cliched and mistaken depiction of NYC was despicable. There are also some thoughtlessly racist sentiments. The promotional premise is so misleading and, without the last ~75 pages, the book merits a 0.5 star rating. A lack of complex character development leads to one-dimensioned personas that are painful to read.
