Reviews with content warning for Medical trauma - In Five Years

let me start off by saying, i think the summary completely misrepresents the book. it’s a solid story with a great message about love but I wish the summary was more lending to what the story is actually about.

also, a lot of it doesn’t quite add up and seems extremely unrealistic after getting to know these characters.Honestly, I didn’t really enjoy the way the ending wrapped up. I agree with some reviews on here with people saying that nothing really even happens in this book.

Major spoilers ahead:

Spoiler

first of all, dannie having sex with a random man from the future in the first place…how you gonna end up in a random apartment, with a random man and you just have sex with him??? Wouldn’t you be thinking holy crap, where is my fiancé? Do I have amnesia??? Let me call Bella, my bestfriend who is so important to me, she’ll help me?

i guess that’s the part that really confuses me. Because yes, at the end all the questions we had about her meeting with Aaron and being in that apartment are answered and yet…it doesn’t make any sense to me.
Everything that happened with Bella was just sad. Made me tear up a lil. I liked her character a lot.

But if we’re being real, David was right for being mad at Dannie!!! Everything we’ve learned about her is that she had a plan and sticks to the rules. So David should’ve known something was off by like year 2 of the wedding being postponed.

the cover is super cute though.

Another one in the column of Books That Made Me Ugly Cry!!! Hooray, for I so dearly love a story that brings such emotions to the forefront. (Not sarcasm, btw)

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.
