A review by francica
In Five Years by Rebecca Serle
3.0
This was my good reads book club pick for May and it was ok.
This story was surprising because in reading the synopsis I really thought that it was a romance novel but instead I read a story about friendship and dealing with loss.
Dannie, a thirty something year old lawyer at the height of her career, who is engaged to a decent guy seems to have life figured out. She has a dream that takes her five years in the future where she is supposedly engaged to the handsome Aaron. This dream seems so real that Dannie could not shake the uneasy feeling that she may meet this guy. She actually does meet Aaron but not in the way she expects cause ***SPOILER*** He is dating her best friend BELLA.
Bella seems to be having the time of her life, she is carefree but then tragedy strikes and everything isn't the same anymore.
As you get to the middle of the book the story really takes a twist and in my opinion it becomes very sad. I liked the story line, I didn't love the book as I thought I would have though. I would recommend although it was not my favourite.
