Taken from Goodreads: Being single is like playing the lottery. There’s always the chance that with one piece of paper you could win it all.
From the New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years and One Italian
Summer comes the romance that will define a generation.
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 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.
Told with her signature warmth and insight into matters of the heart, Rebecca
Serle has finally set her sights on romantic love. The result is a gripping,
emotional, passionate, and (yes) heartbreaking novel about what it means to be
single, what it means to find love, and ultimately how we define each of them
for ourselves. Expiration Dates is the one fans have been waiting for.
My Thoughts:
Rebecca Serle is a wonderful author.
I have read her other books and am so excited about Expiration
Dates. The idea of dating and knowing
how long you have with the person is unique and fun. It is
also a lot of pressure, to know that your time together is limited would make
it difficult to open your heart.
Daphne is a great character with her quirks and secrets. I was entertained reading about her dating life but also sad that each man she met had an end date. I was hoping that Jake, with no expiration date, would be the one. Of course, it cannot be that easy and I was excited to see what twists would be thrown at me.
Rebecca Serle is an author I am excited to read more from. Her books are easy to read, the story moves at a good pace, and the characters are fun.
Thank you Atria Books for a copy of the book in exchange
