I had no idea what to expect going into this book. Well, that’s a lie. I knew it was a love story, and I’d heard it would make me cry.
But I did not anticipate in the slightest, why it would make me cry. Or what kind of love story I’d feel very deeply apart of.
You very easily slip in to this story. It reads like any other, until it doesn’t. And when it doesn’t, you simply must keep reading to see where it leads. Love, heartbreak, celebration, tragedy, compromise, friendship. Life, changing without approval, no matter how much you plan for it not to. Life, out of your hands.
“In Five Years” is as comforting as it is devastating. It’s both a tight, warm hug and a fierce, bitter wind. It answers the questions you’ve never even thought about before, and asks of you things you’ve never had to give.
Give it all. The characters in this novel deserve it.
