Liane Moriarty books always seem to find their way to my book shelf! I saw this title and read the description and knew it was a "must read" for me. The thought of being on a plane and having someone predicting your future is intriguing. How this all plays out is a nice adventure. I was not disappointed and will recommend to friends for sure! It was a perfect weekend read and really prompted some thinking about life in general. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. Four stars!

Liane Moriarty is an author that never disappoints!

I loved the different points of view in this book, and I LOVED the storyline. What would YOU do if you knew what year you were going to die?

I thought this book started out strong with an interesting premise but then fizzled out at the end. I’m a big Lianne Moriarty fan so I’ll probably keep reading her books, but this one just didn’t pack the emotional punch that I was hoping for.

This book held my interest from he very beginning. A woman predicts the deaths of multiple passengers in a delayed flight. Would you want to know exactly when you would die? Is this woman right.? How this all plays out is very interesting and I just loved how it fits. I give it 4 stars!!

Liane Moriarty has been a hit or miss author for me but I do still try to read everything she writes. This one was definitely a hit!!
The premise is that everyone on a flight (after they’re already grumpy about being delayed) is given a prediction of the cause and age of their death by a mysterious woman.
POVs alternate between the various passengers and the “death woman” for the next year or so as some of them come nearer to the ages of her predictions.
The short chapters and alternating POVs really kept me enthralled and the last couple of chapters brought tears to my eyes. Definitely recommend this one!

Wow - this book really made me think. It also kept my brain whirring the entire time I read it because I was trying to think five steps ahead to what I thought would happen next, Let me give a bit of advice to future readers - - don't do that - - just sit back and let this book unfold and savor it for the book it is. Everything is explained in the end so don't wrack your brain trying to figure anything out - - just enjoy.

I think the message behind this book is timeless. If you knew when you'd die, would you do anything differently? I think it's a tough question. Some people seemed to want to make light of it and ignore it while others became hyper-focused on it. Others were angry - - while some were fearful. It was interesting to see the gamut of emotions and reactions to the older woman's predictions.

The premise behind this story really did interest me and I was intrigued until the last page. Thank you to NetGalley for the early copy.

This took me forever to get through. I ended up liking it and enjoyed how things ended. I went the whole time thinking Cherry was a bad lady or just really unlikeable but as you learn more about her background and who she is, you learn to really like her. It was a little bit hard to keep track of all of the characters and their stories, but I was interested.

I'm embarrassed how long it took me to get through this one. I started it and set it aside, wanting to be in the right mood to read it, since it's a longer book and not a light read. I'd rate it as a solid 3.5 stars, because I appreciate how it was so thought-provoking and not completely predictable. On the other hand, even though it was enjoyable, it wasn't quite as gripping as I had expected it to be. I was provided a digital copy, but I listened to the audio version for most of the book, which I found to be more helpful considering the many characters and storylines to keep track of.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

Cherry gets on a plane and starts predicting people's deaths, obviously freaking people out. There were a lot of storylines in this one, following a few of the passengers and Cherry. At times, I would get the characters confused, but once I got them straight, I was so invested. I wanted to know what happened to them, if Cherry was right, and how their stories would wrap up. I really enioyed this one and it really made me think about what I would do if someone predicted my age and manner of death.

This book had a strong takeoff, with a solid start that had me hooked from the first few pages. I was enjoying it as I got to know the characters, stuck through with the suspense. But then, something change and it fell flat quickly. The concept was A+. But the execution? Not even close.

So thought provoking. Can someone really tell the future? Can you change the future? This book covers it all. In classic Moriarty fashion there is a surprise at the end of how people are connected.

Absolutely loved Liane Moriarty's latest. This concept was so interesting and I could not put it down. My book club read it as well and everyone was a fan. Right or wrong, it reminded me of the TV show LOST, may be the plane factor but more likely was the mystery and other worldly feel that the novel gave me. This is one I wish I could read again without knowing the outcome!

Liane Moriarty is at her best when blending humor, human drama, and suspense, and Here One Moment delivers all three in a uniquely compelling way. The novel’s premise is irresistible—a mysterious woman on a flight predicts the deaths of fellow passengers, and when one of her prophecies comes true, the question becomes: Was it just coincidence, or is fate at play?

At the heart of the story is Allegra Patel, a flight attendant grappling with the unpredictability of life while dealing with the fallout of that fateful flight. As the novel unfolds, Moriarty weaves together multiple perspectives, creating a rich tapestry of interconnected lives. The characters are relatable, flawed, and often hilarious, and the novel balances its existential themes with Moriarty’s signature wit.

While the story is engaging, the pacing can feel uneven at times, and some plotlines meander without clear resolution. The "psychic" element is fascinating but takes a backseat to the novel’s exploration of relationships, loss, and human connection.

This was such an anticipated read for me and i just couldnt get into it. I kept pushing but just was bored by it and i wasnt ever dying to pick it up. Sadly a dnf for me although i know so many people who loved it

In classic Liane Moriarty style, Here One Moment tells us the story of a group of strangers in the same place, at the same time. This time, they are on a plane, flying from Hobart to Sydney, when one passenger gets up and starts predicting the year and cause of death of every passenger on the plane. "The Death Lady" as she is known, walks down the aisle of the plane rattling off her predictions to the old and the young, some are pleased with their fate and some...not so much. The rest of the story is told from the perspectives of Cherry aka The Death Lady, and some of the other passengers on the plane and how they navigate their lives after being told when and how they will die.

This story really explores a moral dilemma - if you knew when and how you would die - would you try to avoid your destiny? I guess that depends on if you're dying at 100 from pneumonia or at 40 from a workplace accident.

This author is so talented at telling these split narrative, character-driven stories, really examining a story from all the available perspectives. I have to admit I found Cherry to be a difficult character to like throughout most of the story (the author excels at crafting an unlikeable narrator), but she really does grow on you and by the end I was so endeared to Cherry and everything she had been through. Some of the other characters fell a bit flat for me and I found them hard to keep straight. I did also find the story took a bit too long to reach the resolution of the story and reveal the "twist".

This was not my favorite book by Liane Moriarity. I was actually surprised at how long it took to get the story going. I struggled to finish it. It lacked the depth and intrigue that most of the Moriarity's books have. The characters were likable enough but it never really grabbed me. I'm disappointed in this one.

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty is a captivating blend of mystery, family drama, and emotional introspection. With her signature wit and keen eye for human behavior, Moriarty explores how a single moment can ripple through lives, changing everything. The story masterfully balances suspense with heartfelt storytelling, diving deep into themes of loss, regret, and the fragile ties that hold people together.

The characters are layered and relatable, their secrets slowly unraveling in ways that keep you guessing. While the pacing dips slightly in parts, Moriarty’s talent for weaving complex relationships and surprising twists shines through.

What a unique premise. A psychic, Cherry, on an airplane flight tells fellow passengers about their future. They are not sure what to think, until the 1st prediction comes true. Loved the whole idea of, if you knew when you are going to die, what would you do, what would you change.

What if you knew the age and means of your death? Would you live differently? This scenario was at the heart of this story.

While on a flight to Syndney, Cherry, who comes from a line of fortune tellers, goes into a trance and starts prophesizing all of the passengers' age of death and how each will die. The passengers are shocked and frightened, unsure if this woman is giving them an accurate prediction or just "off her rocker." After the plane has landed and people are back in their lives, they reflect back on their predicted death, unsure whether or not to succumb to fate or actively try to change it.

This book was super fun in that it explored the ever-present conundrum: "If you knew you were going to die, would you live life differently?" The plot parts involving the passengers were interesting and kept me glued to the pages. However, a large part of the plot was Cherry's life story. I wasn't as engaged in this part since Cherry wasn't all that compelling of a character. As a result, the story as a whole was just okay for me.

However, I know others that enjoyed this book much more than me so would encourage readers to check out some of the higher ratings. Thank you #NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

wow this one started off strong and I couldn't stop turning the pages but unfortunately the paced slowed way down for me. I feel like if the book had been shortened a bit then the pace would have been better.
