‘Expiration Dates’ Author Rebecca Serle on Using Magic to ‘Expedite the Truth’ About Love and Fate in New Novel


Author Rebecca Serle talks about her new novel 'Expiration Dates' and the status of the potential 'One Italian Summer' movie adaptation.

But the story evolved beyond that initial fear when Serle figured out the book’s midpoint, a major revelation that raises the stakes for its protagonist, Daphne, and introduces a sobering depth to an otherwise lighthearted concept. Over the past several years, Serle has built a reputation as a writer of female characters whose personal transformations are precipitated by small but significant hints of magic embedded in the worlds they inhabit. When Daphne receives a note with a name and no end date, she faces the reality of seeing a long-held desire for a committed relationship come to fruition, while also questioning the mechanism that has influenced all the decisions she’s made in her love life thus far.
