In Five Years: A Novel

Rebecca Serle has crafted a technically perfect novel. The pacing and plotting do not let go of the reader for one second. In fact, the chapters are just short enough, and action packed enough, that it’s easy to find oneself saying “just one more chapter” until the whole book is finished. She seamlessly fits the events of the story together in a way you absolutely don’t see coming. My jaw literally dropped when I got to the end and saw how flawlessly she fit together the beginning of the story with the ending. It’s a thing of rare beauty when an author can balance their story as masterfully as this one does.

The story itself, is far deeper and more dramatic than the cover copy leads one to believe. It sounds like a second chance romance book, but what you get is far more than that. Be prepared for deep emotions, a few laughs, and possibly a few tears as well. Reading this book is truly an experience. Don’t start it unless you have hours to spend reading, because you won’t want to put it down until you’ve read every last word. This is an amazing book.
