I really related to this book on more than one level. Sometimes I’ll read a book and wonder how realistic that plot or scene was. This story was as contemporary as contemporary can get. It couldn’t get any more realistic than it was. As it’s stated in the synopsis, the hero, Jacob Black is “a third-year law student focused on studying and getting a high-paying job with a top-notch law firm.” We all know someone who values their high-powered career over their wife and family. Aviva, the heroine, lived with her father who valued his career above all else. In fact, her father was a lawyer. Therefore you’d think that Aviva would never give Jacob a second look. She wasn’t going to marry anyone like her father. I know what it’s like to grow up and not be a priority in my parent’s eyes. Or at least the priority I felt I should have been.

I also know what it’s like to grow up poor. I could understand why Jacob felt he needed that top-notch law firm to pay off his college loans and help his mother. I understand the agonizing decision Jacob felt between fulfilling his life dream of becoming a lawyer in a top-notch law firm or choosing the temptation of working for a smaller law firm. The larger firm would force him to neglect those who love him. Whereas a smaller law firm would pay less but give him more time to have a balanced life. I could understand and relate to both the heroine and the hero. Their conflict was real and raw. If he loved her he’d choose the smaller firm. Sometimes love isn’t enough or sometimes you have to learn the hard way in life.

My husband and I were once in Jacob and Aviva’s shoes. We met in college with big dreams. My husband got that high paying job. He’s missed birthdays and anniversaries. He was gone more than he was ever home. He missed many of our sons’ early milestones and later he missed seeing their extracurricular activities. It’s a choice you have to live with. It’s not easy being the wife getting the left overs.

I could feel the love and hurt feelings between Jacob and Aviva. I wanted to scream at Jacob for his decisions. Thank God for his mother who held him accountable. Marriage isn’t easy and it’s more difficult if you and your spouse aren’t on the same page. It’s hard sometimes to get on the same page. Sometimes we need a life crisis to fix our perspective. Jacob and Aviva had a plot twist that pulled at my heart strings. It’s emotional and gut wrenching to have to go through a hardship that is a life changer, but hopefully it’s for the better. I’m just thankful that Jacob and Aviva learned what is important early in life. It’s miserable to reach midlife and realize the regrets you have that can’t be undone.

I’m confident that Jacob and Aviva are going to live a happy well balanced life. It was a very interesting plot thread how they met. I have never heard of such a speed dating event. It was clear they were attracted to each other and shared a chemistry that turned into a true love story. Five Minutes to Love caught my interest right away and kept me captivated until the end. I felt it was written very well and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The characters were well developed and relatable. I have to recommend others to read this story especially if the reader loves to read contemporary real life romance.
