I have a lot of thoughts on this book. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it. 

Things I loved: Rebecca Serle’s plot lines and writing is always beautiful and so engaging. Her plots always have a touch of magic in them which gives a fun, whimsical but also emotional feeling. I loved the plot of this one as our MC, Dannie, is engaged and landed the job of her dreams only to wake up five years in the future with a different life. I also love the touch of romance but the main focus is friendship.

Things I didn’t love: I didn’t love any of the characters. I didn’t feel a really connection through the book. It got pretty boring, as the back only describes about the first three chapters. I felt like it was just not as entertaining as her other books. 

Would i recommend it? Sure, if it sounds interesting, go ahead! But I personally didn’t love it, but also didn’t hate it. :)
