In the modern classic In Five Years, “the rare read-in-one-sitting novel you won’t forget” (Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author) Dannie, an ambitious lawyer, has just nailed the most important job interview of her career and accepted her boyfriend’s marriage proposal. But that night she wakes up in a different apartment with a different man—five years in the future. When she returns to her present, one hour later, Dannie must consider how the future she saw is different from the one she is planning—and whether what she thinks she wants is really what she needs.

In this “magical trip worth taking” (Associated Press), One Italian Summer follows Katy on a solo adventure to Positano, where her recently deceased mother Carol spent the summer right before she met the love of her life. While on the trip to grieve her mother (and best friend and first phone call)…Carol suddenly appears—healthy, sun-tanned, and thirty years old. As Katy and Carol explore Positano together, Katy will be forced to reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman she’s just met.

In Expiration Dates, “a passionate story about love and trust” (People), every time Daphne 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. But when she receives a blank piece of paper on the eve of a blind date, she embarks on a relationship that has her doubting the paper’s prediction and wrestling with what it means to both trust fate, and follow your heart.
