About this listen

Perfect for fans of Me Before You and One Day, this heart-breaking story of love, loss and life will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about destiny . . .

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Type-A Manhattan lawyer Dannie Kohan has been in possession of her meticulously crafted answer since she understood the question. On the day that she nails the most important job interview of her career and gets engaged to the perfect man, she's well on her way to fulfilling her life goals.

That night Dannie falls asleep only to wake up in a different apartment with a different ring on her finger, and in the company of a very different man. The TV is on in the background, and she can just make out the date. It's the same night - December 15th - but 2025, five years in the future.

It was just a dream, she tells herself when she wakes, but it felt so real . . . 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 Dannie turns down a street and there, standing on the corner, is the man from her dream . . .

In Five Years is a love story, brimming with joy and heartbreak. But it is definitely not the love story you're expecting.

I completed this book in a day and literally there was a time when I found myself crying

Loved the book overall

It was an absolute pleasure listening to this book. The story was so real and heartbreaking yet so incredibly beautiful. I didn't want to put the book down it had me completely engrossed. We often read about romantic love but this love story was special. Really love it. And the Megan's voice was just a cherry on top a beautiful cake.

This book has my whole heart

The narration is fine, but that’s about the only thing going for this book. The story starts off very promising and you keep waiting for it to take off but nothing happens. The characters are bland and not even really likeable. The premise was intriguing but the story doesn’t deliver. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this book.

Not what I expected
