A Good Morning America Book Club Pick
Perfect for fans of Me Before You and One Day—a striking, powerful, and moving love story following an ambitious lawyer who experiences an astonishing vision that could change her life forever.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
When Type-A Manhattan lawyer Dannie Cohan is asked this question at the most important interview of her career, she has a meticulously crafted answer at the ready. Later, after nailing her interview and accepting her boyfriend’s marriage proposal, Dannie goes to sleep knowing she is right on track to achieve her five-year plan.
But when she wakes up, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man. The television news is on in the background, and she can just make out the scrolling date. It’s the same night—December 15—but 2025, five years in the future.
After a very intense, shocking hour, Dannie wakes again, at the brink of midnight, back in 2020. She can’t shake what has happened. It certainly felt much more than merely a dream, but she isn’t the kind of person who believes in visions. That nonsense is only charming coming from free-spirited types, like her lifelong best friend, Bella. Determined to ignore the odd experience, she files it away in the back of her mind.
That is, until four-and-a-half years later, when by chance Dannie meets the very same man from her long-ago vision.
Brimming with joy and heartbreak, In Five Years is an unforgettable love story that reminds us of the power of loyalty, friendship, and the unpredictable nature of destiny.

"I was pulled into the book immediately. Much has to do with the reader, but they present the characters and you picture them and see the visual story. Relationships, competitiveness, and time were the themes for me. It is impossible to enjoy ife when we are living in the future or past. The moments and authenticity (being who you are and not what you think is expected of you or who you think you should be) are what brings joy to life. Seeing what comes into our path and not missing a beat. Doing the next right thing is what is important. Being there for friends with no fear. We never know what is coming around the corner so ever minute here in life, now is important. No regrets. how do we want to be remembered? "
