LoveReading Says
Dannie has always stuck perfectly to her five-year plan, but on the day she ticks off two of her biggest goals (nailing the interview for her dream job, getting engaged to the ideal man) she falls asleep and has the strangest dream. In it, she’s married to someone else, and living a very different life − and it feels so real.
She files the weird dream away and forgets all about it . . . until, five years later, she turns a corner and comes face to face from the man from the dream.
Dannie is the perfect character for this setup, because she’s so stuck on the idea that our life’s path can be set, and the whole novel really challenges us to ask what might happen if we let ourselves question the life we’ve chosen. This novel is smart, thought-provoking and gripping − you should definitely give it a try.
