"This is a love story...but not the love story you're expecting" and it really was.
In Five Years is the story of Dannie Kohan who appears to have it all sorted with her life. She has the perfect fiancé, David, an investment fund manager, the perfect apartment, in New York City, the wonderful, yet flighty best friend, Bella, and the perfect job, as a corporate lawyer at a top firm. But does having it all mean that she is truly happy? Soon tragedy strikes and it is about to test the boundaries of her friendship, engagement and outlook on life.
This novel is an emotional read and really pulls at the heartstrings. It will make you laugh and cry, in equal measure.
