  In Five Years Written by Rebecca Serle Originally published in 2021 251 pages Rate 9/10 My summary of  In Five Years      Dannie has been friends with Bella for as long as they both can remember. Though their personalities aren't the same, they are two peas in a pod. Bella is an artist who follows her heart's desires and Dannie is a lawyer who loves to play by the rules. Bella falls in love with many people and hasn't found anyone to settle down with. Dannie has been in a seemingly happy relationship with David for the past two years.      The night Dannie and David get engaged, Dannie dreams a vivid dream about a stranger. In the dream she checks the clock and it reads 2025; five years later from where she just was. Confused by what this vivid dream might mean, she goes to talk to Bella about it. The only problem is, the stranger in the dream is Bella's newest boyfriend. My opinion on  In Five Years     There was a couple of sexy time scenes (which I haven't real

  Son Written by Lois Lowry Originally published 2012 390 pages Rate: 9/10 My summary of Son     Claire grew up in the same village as Jonas (main character in The Giver ). Even though she was about two years older than him, they knew of each other. Claire was assigned Birthmother as her calling, but after a complication during her delivery, they moved her over to work in the Fish Hatchery.

She finds her son and begins to visit him as much as she can without being caught. However, because of her risky delivery, the baby is being monitored carefully and if he doesn't progress soon, they will "release" him. She questions what to do with the baby, should she try to run away with it? My op
