Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle

I reviewed a review copy from the publisher

Daphne Bell is a woman who experiences something special: every time she dates a new man, she receives a paper with the exact time they will be together. The papers are always right for over twenty years they told her she would spend five weeks with Noah in San Francisco, three days with Martin in Paris, and three months with Hugo.

And one evening she has a blind date with Jake in her favorite Los Angeles restaurant. The note she receives only has " Jake '' written on it, no time frame this time, and she wonders what the universe, who in her eyes sends this notes, is meaning with this.Does this mean Daphne has met her forever love? 

This is a book with a quite confusing and not so thrilling storyline. The main character is the type of woman that goes from one relationship to the next, and somehow I couldn't help to picture it in a The Bold and The Beautiful tv show kind of setting, with the Los Angeles backdrop and everything. The story is meant to be romantic and somewhat supernatural because of the notes Daphne receives, but the romance was just about going from one relationship to the next, without any depth or further development, and as a reader, I truly didn't care any moment about the main character, and I truly wondered what the point of the storyline was, as it lacked also any interesting plot twists and turns.

I truly expected more of this book, but it didn't live up my expectations.
