Five Days is the latest book by Zoe Folbigg.  I discovered this author last year when I read A Fairytale of New York, which I loved.  So I was eager to get my hands on this one.  My thanks to Boldwood Books for providing me with an early review copy. 

Jesse and Minnie meet when they are both dealing with bruised hearts.  Following advice from Minnie's therapist they agree to go on 5 platonic play dates.  No romantic ties, no swapping numbers and no googling each other.

I thought this plot was really intriguing and I do enjoy a meet-cute storyline.  I loved the characters, they were both very likeable and so easy to relate to.  I loved the way their backstories were slowly dripped into the narrative to create more depth and empathy. 

This book is a wonderful romance read for the summer and perfect for fans of the friends to lovers trope.
