Publisher's summary

The New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years and One Italian Summer returns with “a romantic gem” (Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author) about a young woman who decides to finally live for herself rather than rely on the universe for answers.

Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. Every time she meets a new man, she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it—the exact amount of time they will be together. The papers told her she’d spend three days with Martin in Paris; five weeks with Noah in San Francisco; and three months with Hugo, her ex-boyfriend turned best friend. Daphne has been receiving the numbered papers for over twenty years, always wondering when there might be one without an expiration. Finally, the night of a blind date at her favorite Los Angeles restaurant, there’s only a name: Jake.

But as Jake and Daphne’s story unfolds, Daphne finds herself doubting the paper’s prediction, and wrestling with what it means to be both committed and truthful. Because Daphne knows things Jake doesn’t, information that—if he found out—would break his heart.

“Daphne’s sometimes heart-wrenching, often heartwarming search for meaningful relationships, both romantic and platonic, is sure to inspire” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) new and longtime fans of Rebecca Serle.

Fresh Storyline

A romance that felt new…I had no idea how it would end! The flashbacks were effective.

Evelyn Hugo Meets The Measure

This book was thoroughly entertaining! It's like a mash up of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and The Measure in regards to dating. The storytelling is stellar as it waltzes between the past and present.

Beautiful and moving

Started a little slowly but kept my interest. And I’m so glad it did. This was a beautiful surprise and one of her best books yet.

Loved it

Great story line that reminded me somewhat of The Measure. Julia’s performance never misses. Would recommend this to anyone.

Characters

I really enjoyed five years but this book didn’t help me really get to know the main character or why others loved her so much so I found it difficult to connect.

The overall premise

Plot, characters were not fully explained or developed. Somewhat interesting but not completely engaging- narrator kept my attention, however.

I’m heartbroken that this is over. Finished it in one day. Absolutely hooked. Loved the characters, plot twists, & of course narration.

Loved it!!

Beautiful story - I sobbed and smiled through this one. Julia Whelan’s narration was excellent, as usual! May be my new favorite from this author.

Beautiful love letter to love and CA

I loved this story and the characters so much. I felt like I was transported to CA and was watching every scene like a movie.
