Talk about all the feels! Excellent writing, wonderful story, very original. I love what the author did with this book. I’m not usually the type of person who feels a ton of emotions while reading, but I could feel what the main character was going through with her loss, her love, all the things. Becky Hunter has outdone herself.

I’m a marketing and publicity associate Forever, so I am reading this for work! Aaaaaaand there's a character limit on reviews here are some more words

This was a great read. I loved getting to know all of the characters and the town. The plot really brought it all home.

This contemporary novel was both funny and heartbreaking. It was so beautifully written. The narration from Scarlett was beautifully done and was so compelling to me. The friendship between Scarlett and Evie and how Evie was essentially struggling to make sense of life without her best friend in it was very relatable. While it had sad moments, this wasn’t a sad book. It was about love, friendship and so many other wonderful things. I found it to be joyful and about seizing every moment.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC!

I knew going in that this one would make me cry a whole bunch, which is what I needed. It did not disappoint. This was freaking beautiful, heart wrenching, and it made me hold my best friend a little tighter.

One Moment by Becky Hunter is one of those books that had me smiling and crying and even crying while smiling. I loved the premise, I loved the characters, I loved the author's voice. It's been a while since I finished One Moment, and I'm still thinking about so many moments from Hunter's story. Highly recommend!!!!!!

This book is so different from anything I have ever read! The story is told from two perspectives and is a heart-warming tale of friendship that goes the distance. Books about friendship are plentiful, but this one is very special and unique. I loved it and highly recommend it!

I received a complimentary copy of this book "One Moment" and all opinions expressed are my own. I enjoyed reading this book. I liked the characters and the story line. One decision changes your whole life but you can't go back and fix it. It was sad but also hopeful. Life can change in an instant. Love the friendship between Evie and Scarlett.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book slammed me right in the feels.

A story of two best friends, processing grief, love and loss. It was a very emotional book that made me reflect a lot about myself and the decisions that I make on a daily basis. As a person with disabilities and chronic illness the disability representation in this was bang on and very relatable.

An excellent debut that should not be missed.

First, special thanks to NetGalley and Atlantic books for the opportunity to read this eARC!

I went into One Moment without having read the blurb, and I am so glad because it provided me with a unique reading experience. Initially I assumed One Moment to be one of many books about best friends learning to be better for each other, and while this is not entirely untrue of the book, the framing of death and life and love make it such an interesting read!

The initial ~60 or so pages were rather slow and difficult to get through, but the pay off was well worth it by the end. Scarlett, Evie, and Nate’s stories weave together so beautifully. Evie being a musician touched a part of my heart as it is every musician’s fear to lose their craft due to physical ailments or illness. Seeing this played out through her struggles with MS was very well written.


After reading this book I just want to give my best friend a hug, and I imagine you will too. Definitely recommend. Four stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for a digital ARC of One Moment.

WOW. What a phenomenal debut. I devoured this in two days. I love emotional reads and this was exactly that. It tug at my heart, brought tears to my eyes, and gave me butterflies. It was a beautiful story about friendship and figuring out what matters in life and finding one's self and of course, love. This one will stick with me for a while and Becky Hunter has become an author I will automatically buy from. The characters, I loved them all and I love the depth they had. The plot itself was fresh and executed flawlessly. I don't have enough words. Just the perfect, emotional, read.

I truly wanted to love this book. The premises sounded devastating but amazing. The author chose to tackle a lot of heavy subjects in one book: death, suicide and Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis to name a few. While representation is incredibly important and appreciated- there’s a fine line of where research and understanding of the chronic illness can get mixed up. As a person who lives with Multiple Sclerosis, seeing a MC with MS is absolutely amazing. I felt this book would be a great tool to bring understanding and awareness, unfortunately I found myself reading a book that is based off stereotypes and barely scratching the surface of what MS really is. MS is a lot more then the “I’m not drunk, I have MS” stereotype.

I really enjoyed One Moment. I found it an easy book to become engrossed with and it had an interesting storyline. The ending was a tad predictable but fitting. I especially loved the final chapter. I definitely recommend this book to other readers. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I've been reading a bunch of romance lately and I loved that this book was first and foremost about a friendship. I also loved the portrayal of the chronic illness in all the small and big ways. I think the dramatic side gets covered often but not the small, daily difficulty of how it might feel to live with one.

If you're looking for something light that will make you cry and laugh and something romantic but also a little different, this is the book for you.

Evie and Scarlett have been best friends since childhood. On one fateful day, Scarlett stops to help a fallen biker and is hit by a car. Evie, who is devastated to lose her best friend, is also dealing with an MS diagnosis that has forced her to quit playing the violin. Nate, the biker that Scarlett helped, intorduces himself to Evie, and the two begin spending time together. Evie struggles with her budding friendship with Nate, as she sees him as the reason Scarlett died. However, he does not treat her as broken as her ex-boyfriend did. Evie also meets her young neghber, teenage Astird, who is an aspiring violinist. The narration alternates between Evie and a deceased Scarlet who is able to see past memories and the present. I appreicate that the book deals with both grief and chronic illness.

I really enjoyed this book.
Scarlett dies because of one decision she makes. She made it without thinking. WIthout knowing what the consequences would be.

Her best friend Evie, will have to pick up the pieces of this devastating incident.

But Evie has her own problems, namely MS. Who would want to be with Evie with her medical history.

The book explores the opportunities that we all have to make changes in our lives.

This book is for anyone struggling with overcoming anything and how one decision can change your life.

Thanks so much Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley.
Scarlett and Evie are best friends. A tragic accident changes everything. Scarlett gets to watch the ripple effects of her death while Evie figures out what life looks like without her best friend.

This was such an emotional ride. The author writes from the perspectives of each friend, which made the story even more gut wrenching. I was not prepared.

I loved this story. I loved Evie and Scarlett’s POVs. I loved the ending. Scarlett’s death helped Evie even if it hurt her. This was very well written and it kept me engaged. I didn’t love the Astrid storyline except I know it had to link to other stories.

Thank you NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the eARC.
This is a lovely book about the deep friendship between two women, Scarlett and Evie, that ends abruptly with the death of Scarlett. Evie is totally devastated, on top of which she's battling a serious disease.
Nate, according to both women, is culpable: without him Scarlett would still be alive. But over time their anger dissipates and the book gets more and more lovely with a great ending. I enjoyed it a lot and definitely recommend it.

The day Scarlett dies would have been one of the most important of her life. And now, she's still here, stuck somewhere in the in between, watching the ripple effect of her death on the lives of those she loved the most. Evie, Scarlett’s lifelong best friend and flatmate, cannot contemplate her life without Scarlett, and she certainly cannot forgive Nate, the man she blames for her best friend's death. But Nate keeps popping up when she least expects him to, catapulting Evie's life in directions she'd never let herself imagine possible.

Thank you so much to @netgalley, @beckyhunterbooks, and @readforeverpub for the ARC! This book was so heartfelt and emotional and definitely had me tearing up a few times! The book tackled themes of grief, love, friendship, and sacrifice in a really beautiful and heart wrenching way. For all its more heavy topics and somber moments, the story was also so uplifting and made me smile as I read it, and I really appreciated the way Hunter was able to capture all the different human emotions and bring them together in a touching tale of grief, growth, and friendship. Astrid’s character was particularly light and inspiring and I really loved her relationship with Evie and how they helped each other in different ways. I loved the dual narrative of Scarlett and Evie and throughly both of their characters were very well developed. This was an emotional beautiful book that I definitely recommend! Out in the UK now, One Moment hits US shelves in March!
