*In Five Years: A Novel* by Rebecca Serl is a story of friendship and love and lessons. I haven't read "The Dinner List", but if it's anything like "In Five Years" I can see why it is so popular. This book made me cry, several times. It made me laugh a bit and reminded me that we all need to live in the present.

This is the story of Dannie, a corporate lawyer who has everything planned to the last detail so when she has a dream (premonition?) that seems extreamly real about lifefive years from now, one in which she is in an apartme t that she would never pick and with a man she's never met, she starts doing everything to keep it from happening, to fight fate.

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this book at first, but I found I couldn't pull myself away. This book will make you look at your priorities and realize love is now, as is life. I would recommend this book. I can't wait to go read "The Dinner List" now. This author and this book will stay with you long after the last page.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy free of charge. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.
