Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle

5.0

"Expiration Dates" by Rebecca Serle is a fresh and enchanting take on romance that I couldn't put down, devouring it in just one day. Daphne Bell's life, dictated by slips of paper indicating the duration of her relationships, is both fascinating and deeply moving. Serle weaves a compelling narrative that challenges the notions of fate and self-determination, making Daphne’s journey profoundly relatable.

Daphne's encounters, from her brief fling with Martin to her deeper connection with Noah, and ultimately, her complex relationship with her ex-boyfriend and best friend, Hugo, add layers of emotion and depth to the story. Each relationship teaches Daphne something new, leading her to question the very nature of love and destiny.

The twist comes with Jake, whose slip lacks an expiration date, throwing Daphne into a whirlwind of doubt and hope. As their story unfolds, Daphne's internal struggle between following the universe's plan and forging her own path is beautifully portrayed.

Serle’s writing is both heartwarming and heart-wrenching, making "Expiration Dates" a romantic gem that stays with you long after the last page. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a thought-provoking and delightful exploration of love and self-discovery.
