Expiration Dates begins with an unusual premise. Since her youth, Daphne has received a note stating her next boyfriend’s name and how long they will be together. All have been true. One day in her thirties, Daphne receives a note with a name but no date. Is this Jake her soulmate? Is she meant to stay with him forever? Daphne turns to her ex-boyfriend and current best friend, Hugo, for advice. He tells her to go for it. How will Daphne navigate a new world of commitment after so many short relationships? Is Jake truly her last boyfriend?
It is obvious from the beginning where this novel, and Daphne, will end up. But that doesn’t negate the pleasure of seeing Daphne slowly reach that conclusion for herself. Expiration Dates is a sweet romance with characters you can’t help but root for. 4 stars!
