In Five Years

This is not so much a love story, as an ode to New York City and to a unique, life-long friendship between two girls who first meet when they are eight and whose friendship grows and deepens during the next 25 years into something so meaningful and special it will tug at your heart. If you loved Me Before You, you will love In Five Years. It was so not the story I was expecting which delighted me in the best way. I loved both the women characters and the men in their lives, all of them trying the best they knew how to connect and love, and was also surprised in a good way at the ending. This isn't a male/female love story so much as a prose poem to a great bond between two women which made it unique and wonderful.
