"Where do you see yourself in five years?" is a common question asked during job interviews. Dannie Kohan was feeling really confident when she was asked that question during an interview for her dream job. Her career is on track and she is pretty sure that her boyfriend, David, is going to propose that night. She only sees good things happening in the next five years. That night, after her boyfriend proposes, Dannie awakens from a dream set five years in the future. Only it didn't feel like a dream. She was in a different apartment with a different man in a different part of the city. Did Dannie really see five years into the future, or was it just a dream? She spends the next five years trying to determine if it was a dream or not.
Who hasn't tried to imagine what their life will be like in five years? Many of us can't see past our current circumstances to really envision a life in the future. Dannie Kohan just had a dream set five years in the future and she lets it interupt her current life. I wonder if that dream isn't the reason she kept putting off her wedding to David. Dannie isn't exactly an easy character to like. She is controlling and confident that she is right about everything. Including the care for her sick best friend. It irritated me that Dannie just took over control over everything. And people in her life let her. There were some plot points that were never really flushed out and left me wondering if the author needed a better editor. All that aside, I was entertained. And that is all you want out of a book, right?
