A Good Morning America Book Club Pick Perfect for fans of Me Before You and One Day--a striking, powerful, and moving love story following an ambitious lawyer who experiences an astonishing vision that could change her life forever. Where do you see yourself in five years? When Type-A Manhattan lawyer Dannie Cohan is asked this question at the most important interview of her career, she has a meticulously crafted answer at the ready. Later, after nailing her interview and accepting her boyfriend's marriage proposal, Dannie goes to sleep knowing she is right on track to achieve her five-year plan. But when she wakes up, she's suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man. The television news is on in the background, and she can just make out the scrolling date. It's the same night--December 15--but 2025, five years in the future. After a very intense, shocking hour, Dannie wakes again, at the brink of midnight, back in 2020. She can't shake what has happened. It certainly felt much more than merely a dream, but she isn't the kind of person who believes in visions. That nonsense is only charming coming from free-spirited types, like her lifelong best friend, Bella. Determined to ignore the odd experience, she files it away in the back of her mind. That is, until four-and-a-half years later, when by chance Dannie meets the very same man from her long-ago vision. Brimming with joy and heartbreak, In Five Years is an unforgettable love story that reminds us of the power of loyalty, friendship, and the unpredictable nature of destiny.

    I finished this book in a day and really liked it! Wasn’t expecting what happened at all in this book. Made me laugh and cry and I loved the relationship between the two best friends and how everything came about over the 5 years. The unfaithful aspect really ticked me off but I still liked how everything turned out in the end and I understood it. Overall a really beautiful book

    I really liked the story and enjoyed the fact that it wasn't a super long read. It allowed me to find something to read that I wouldn't have to spend a few days committed too. Great if you are short of time but still want to read.

    I really did enjoy reading this book. It was slow to start. The author really developed the main characters. I hated that Bella died and Dannie and Arron still slept together after everything.

    Wow this book absolutely wrecked me. This was not at all what I was expecting but I absolutely loved it. I was expecting more of a traditional romance book, but was pleasantly surprised with the direction the plot went in. I balled my eyes out the last few chapters and immediately had to text my best friend when I was down reading. This was almost a 5 star read for me, but would have loved a more finite ending for the main character.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lovestory but different
    Reviewed in Germany on January 14, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I really don't know why so many people didn't like the book. It wasn't the lovestory I expected this I have to admit but that made it different from all those stories where everybody already knows the end when reading the summary. This book was a surprise and it has a message in it. The ending was a bit too short for me and not really the happy end I would have wished for which is only logic knowing the story. However, I can highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to read something special and about life, the real life not "la vie en rose"!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Romanzo sul ruolo dell'amicizia
    Reviewed in Italy on June 1, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Ho acquistato questo libro per avere una lettura più leggera da fare in vacanza, tratta in inganno sia dalla copertina che dalla classificazione come romanzo rosa. Secondo me, questa è una storia che parla di amicizia femminile e di quel momento nella vita in cui gli amici si sostituiscono alla famiglia. Detto questo, l'ho amato moltissimo e l'ho trovato scorrevole e ben scritto. La storia mi ha appassionata e ci sono stati vari colpi di scena che non mi sarei aspettata. Mi aspettavo decisamente qualcosa di diverso quando l'ho acquistato ma, nonostante questo, non mi sono pentita affatto di averlo letto.

    This is a good book however, i’m never purchasing books off amazon! The book seems like its been printed at their warehouse instead of the original copy! I the cover is separated from the book which looks tacky! I don’t like this at all! I wanted the original copy not a printed paper stuck on a bunch of papers!
