In Five Years by Rebecca Serle ****

In Five Years by Rebecca Serle is a novel about control, or rather the impossibility of control. Dannie Kohan says, “I believe in living by numbers.” The book opens with her engagement to the perfect man (David), and her being hired into the perfect job. That night she has a vision of five years in the future: having sex with Aaron. He does not fit her plan for her future. She does everything she can to prevent this vision from becoming a reality.

As much as Dannie attempts to control her destiny, the future proves to be beyond her control. Even though she gets engaged at the beginning of the five years, four and a half years later, she is not married. Even though the obstacles, such as career and financial security, seem surmountable, this efficient and focused woman never manages to get married. Other obstacles, such as her best friend’s cancer, are beyond control.

A novel on the illusion of control.
