Expiration Dates

'Rebecca Serle is a maestro of love in all its forms' - GABRIELLE ZEVIN, author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

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 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 name: 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.
