This book started out great for me and ended great! I was a little worried in the middle that it was going to emotionally wreck me, but I liked the plot twist toward the end and how it explained everything. This book was a little different than the author's usual gossipy-type small-town feel, but I still liked it a lot! I received a free copy of this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

I would love to know where Liane Moriarty comes up with topics for her books. This one was fun and quirky, but very enjoyable! The middle tended to drag out a little. I would have liked it to be slightly shorter, but overall, I would recommend it for any Moriarty fan. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my opinions.

Thank you, NetGalley, for an e-ARC of Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty.
I love the premise of this book: a plane full of passengers and one older woman telling everyone how and when they will die. I love the way this book makes you question how you would react if faced with this information. Told through a variety of characters, including the psychic, Moriarty weaves a story that shows many sides of the dilemma. Beautifully written. A story that will stay with you long after the last page.

Soooooo slow and boring. I have loved some Liane's other books, but this one just wouldn't get to the point! I wish it was better, because the synopsis is very unique and interesting.

Liane Moriarty always writes characters with so much depth, which was both good and bad because it made me genuinely concerned for each one in this book! The story takes off (ha) immediately with Cherry predicting the deaths of every passenger on the plane, which built the suspense right away. I enjoyed reading through the chapters following each character after their predictions. At first, Cherry's chapters were interesting to give backstory, but I found myself skimming over them after a while because I just wanted to get back to the other characters. In the end, I love how it all came together to a satisfying ending.

Cracking premise, and the book really delivers on early promise. Some of the authors works haven’t nbeen on form, but this is a clear return to amazing reading,

I really enjoyed reading the many stories of the people on this plane and what put them where they are today. Lots to think about that led down a path of intrigue.
Perhaps even better was attending an author even with Moriarty and getting to hear about her writing method, and just get a feel for her personality in general.
I'm ready for her next book!
Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for the e-arc of this book.

3.5 stars
There were a lot of moving pieces and POVs with Loane Moriarty’s latest tour de force. I decided to just let it take me along for the ride, instead of feeling confused or overwhelmed from the start. I think that worked well for me as I was able to listen to the narration and witness how each of them reacted to the predictions on the plane. This unique story gave me a lot to think about as I rooted on some of the characters to make the changes in their lives that they might not have considered before that fateful day on the flight from Hobart to Syndney!

Thank You to Crown for the ARC provided through NetGalley.
I love Liane Moriarty, and will absorb anything she writes! This book was no exception. Here One Moment is thought provoking and made me think about how our choices determine our lives versus fate. I would recommend this to anyone that is in need of a well written story that will be on my mind for a long time.

DNF - I attempted to start this book and it just did not hold my interest. This may be a book I come back to in the future.

Omg I loved this one, listened to like 80% of it on audio and the audiobook was so well done! Reminded me of The Measure at times, kind of a similar storyline where one woman on a plane starts predicting other passengers causes of death and if spirals out from there. A lottttt of storylines going on at once, but it was wrapped up so perfectly in the end! I fell in love with the oddball main character Cherry, such a fun read!

5 Stars. Liane Moriaty is back on top of her game. This was a quick read and filled with characters that I cared about.

I really enjoyed Here One Moment! Liane Moriarty has a way of blending humor, drama, and deep emotional moments in a way that feels effortless, and this book was no exception. The story had a strong emotional core, with complex relationships and secrets unfolding in that signature Moriarty style. The slow-building tension and sense of fate versus free will added an almost eerie undercurrent, making it feel like more than just a domestic drama—it had a quiet, creeping suspense to it.
One of the things I really liked was how well the characters were developed. They felt real—flawed, messy, and deeply human. The way their lives intertwined and the tension built throughout the story kept me hooked. I also appreciated the mix of lighthearted moments with heavier, more emotional themes. It didn’t feel too weighed down, but it also had depth. The book had an almost Final Destination-esque quality in the way it played with the idea of escaping fate, which added an extra layer of unease beneath the emotional drama.
Overall, Here One Moment was a really engaging read. If you like Moriarty’s other books, you’ll probably enjoy this one too! It had all the twists, emotional moments, and sharp observations on relationships that she does so well. The added psychological tension made it even more compelling. Definitely worth reading!

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this. What a read! This book was a lot in a good way. It was pretty long, but enjoyable and kept my interest. I liked how the story unfolded and how it ended. I will recommend this book!

I have read seven of Liane Moriarty's books and five of them I gave five star reviews. Maybe my expectations of her are too high and that's why some of her books I rate only four stars.
I love her writing style. The book begins in a similar fashion to her other books. The reader is an outsider, observing the interactions of multiple people. You start to learn the direction of the book and how the characters relate to each other.
The middle dragged for me. I had difficulty finishing the book. It picked back up at the end. Just didn't hold my attention all the way through like her other books.
I revieved this galley from NetGalley

This is an engaging and thought-provoking novel. The story follows a woman named Kate, whose life is turned upside down after a tragic accident. As she navigates her grief and the impact on her family, she begins to uncover secrets that change everything. The book is filled with emotional depth and strong character development. It’s a touching story about love, loss, and personal growth that kept me hooked from start to finish.

What would you do if someone stood up on your plane and announced they could predict the age and cause of death for every passenger? This thriller from Liane Moriarty explores that scenario. I’m not one to ignore a book because it’s from a mega-popular author or classified in the “women’s fiction” category, so if you like your beach reads with suspense instead of romance, give this a try.

The beginning of the story had me hooked. I was invested in these characters and what they were going through. It read like a movie or tv show. The middle, however, seemed to slow down significantly. I enjoyed that we got to spend time with these characters and learn more about them but the pace definitely slowed down. That seemed to make it all worth it in the end because it was such an emotional ending. All of the feelings.

A woman on an airplane starts predicting how everyone will die, many write her off. Until several meet their deaths the same way she predicted.
I will keep this short, maybe this author just isn’t for me. I’ve read a few of her books and I just haven’t been huge fans of them. I didn’t finish this one. At 16% they weren’t off the plane yet, everyone was complaining about this woman predicting deaths and everyone wanted off the plane.
The premise was too far fetched for me. I didn’t particularly relate or like the characters presented which made it really hard to remain engaged. This just wasn’t for me, but it got great reviews!

I really enjoyed this one! I was intrigued from the introduction and had the hardest time putting it down. As with most thrillers, there was a lot of info at the beginning that needed to be parsed through, but it was well worth it
