Expiration Dates

Summary: 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.

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

After loving In Five Years, when I saw Expiration Dates at Speed Dating event from The Book Report Network, I had to request. I was lucky and received an ARC of this book (gosh this cover is GORGEOUS!)

This book has such an interesting premise. Knowing how long you will spend with someone before you even truly start a relationship- is that a freeing concept or a limiting concept?

I don’t know how much I would have loved it in my real dating life, but I know there are a few people (when I look back at life) that I might would have wanted to know how long we were going to be involved.

What I liked:

This cover. It is GORGEOUS.

I love Daphne. I loved her zest for life. She is a character that I truly enjoyed.

The twists in this book were really good and caused me to re-evaluate the book as I was reading.

Bottom line: In the 2 books by Rebecca Serle that I’ve read, she has managed to give me a book that I adored with a twist that would tug at my heart strings. I def recommend you to read this book!
