Where do you see yourself in five years?
Dannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers.
She is nothing like her lifelong best friend–the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. Her meticulous planning seems to have paid off after she nails the most important job interview of her career and accepts her boyfriend’s marriage proposal in one fell swoop, falling asleep completely content.
But when she awakens, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man. Dannie spends one hour exactly five years in the future before she wakes again in her own home on the brink of midnight–but it is one hour she cannot shake. In Five Years is an unforgettable love story, but it is not the one you’re expecting.

I loved this story! I can honestly say I was laughing, definitely sobbing and loving these people who for a day completely took over my life!
I read this book in one day!
Dannie is a big time lawyer who has her life planned out and pretty much stays the course. Her very best friend since childhood, Bella is the exact opposite. She lives “in the moment”. She is an artist who travels and enjoys living on the edge.
Until….. she can’t anymore.
Bella needs to figure out how to help Dannie sort her life, while Dannie is trying to figure out how to help Bella as her life becomes complicated.
This is a novel about friendship, love and heartache.
There is a definite Tissue Alert!
Excellent and well written love story!

This book was very readable, but for some reason did not leave a lasting impression on me. The crux of the book is really the friendship between Bella and Dannie and for me their relationship was never fully developed. Dannie says how important the relationship is but it never really rang true for me. It was a lot of tell instead of show.
The medical parts were well done for the most part, but I did notice a few inconsistencies, a pet peeve of mine as a writer of medical fiction.
Overall, a pleasant read, but maybe not the right one for me.
