Rebecca Serle – författare

Var ser du dig själv om fem år?

Dannie Kohans liv går precis som hon planerat, och hon har inga problem att leverera ett perfekt svar på anställningsintervjun. Hon får jobbet och tackar dessutom ja till sin pojkväns frieri senare på kvällen.

Men när hon vaknar nästa morgon ligger en helt annan man bredvid henne. Nyheterna visas på tv:n och datumet i rutan är fortfarande den 15 december men året är 2025.

Efter en chockartad timme vaknar Dannie igen i sin vanliga lägenhet år 2020. Hon kan inte skaka av sig vad som har hänt. Det kändes annorlunda mot en vanlig dröm. Men hon är en framgångsrik advokat, och lever i verkligheten. Drömtydning och annat trams får new age-typer, som hennes bästa kompis Bella, hålla på med. Övertygad om att det inte betyder något lägger Dannie det hela bakom sig. Tills hon fyra och ett halvt år senare stöter på mannen från sin märkliga vision.

Fem år senare är en New York Times-bästsäljare.

REBECCA SERLE är roman- och manusförfattare. Hon har skrivit sex hyllade romaner och ett flertal manus till film och tv. Fem år senare är den första som utkommit på svenska. Hon delar sin tid mellan New York och Los Angeles.

Från författaren till New York Times-bästsäljaren Fem år senare kommer Rebecca Serles nya kärleksroman!  

Att vara singel är som att spela på lotteri. Det finns alltid en chans att man kan vinna allt.  

Daphne Bell tror att universum har en plan för henne. Varje gång hon träffar en ny man får hon en lapp med hans namn och ett nummer på –  exakt hur länge de kommer att vara tillsammans. Lapparna berättade att hon skulle tillbringa tre dagar med Martin i Paris, fem veckor med Noah i San Francisco och tre månader med Hugo, hennes ex-pojkvän som blivit hennes bästa vän. 

Daphne har fått  lapparna i över tjugo år och undrat när det skulle komma en utan Bäst före-datum. 

Och så plötsligt, när hon ska på blind date på hennes favoritrestaurang i Los Angeles, står det bara ett namn: Jake.  

Men när Jake och Daphnes historia utvecklas börjar Daphne tvivla på papperslappens förutsägelse och brottas med vad det innebär att vara både engagerad och ärlig. För Daphne vet saker som Jake inte vet, information som – om han fick reda på den – skulle krossa hans hjärta.    

Pressröster:

"En passionerad berättelse om kärlek och tillit som får dig att snyfta långt innan vändningen."

-People  

"Denna roman går bortom en lättsam romans och utforskar hur vi låter ödet forma våra liv, på gott och ont."

-The New York Post  

"Daphnes ibland hjärtskärande, ofta hjärtevärmande sökande efter meningsfulla relationer, både romantiska och platoniska, kommer definitivt att inspirera."

-Publishers Weekly 

"Serles fängslande prosa kommer att locka fans av Jennifer Weiner och Emily Henry."

-Booklist  

"Serle bjuder på en intressant idé och en hälsosam dos humor som läsarna kommer att uppskatta. En underhållande kärlekshistoria med djupa stunder."

- Kirkus
