This book starts with a great what‑if. Daphne gets slips of paper telling her exactly how long every relationship will last, which honestly sounds kind of amazing if you’ve ever stayed way too long with the wrong person. No guessing, no overthinking, no awkward conversations. Just the truth.
At first, it feels freeing. She dates without anxiety because the ending is already decided. Then she meets someone with no expiration date at all, and suddenly the unknown feels terrifying. That shift is where the story really shines. It’s less about the magic and more about how fear, loss, and self protection shape the way we love.
It’s a quiet, slower read. Some parts are predictable, and the side characters don’t all feel fully fleshed out, but the emotional core works. This is one of those books that doesn’t knock you flat, but it lingers.
Thoughtful, a little sad, and very relatable if you’ve ever wondered whether knowing the ending would actually make love easier.
