Liane Moriarty is such a talented author. This novel was a bit tense, atmospheric, claustrophobic mystery that was a slow build- but an intriguing one.

I read and reviewed this with tandem. I posted my reviews across my social media so I did promote the book just forgot to add it over here. Loved it! Can’t wait for her next book.

Moriarty returns to her best when she looks insides the lives of random strangers on what at first appears to be a routine flight. Full of suspense and mystery, this novel also explores the trajectory choices make on fate and whether one's is set in the perverbial stone.

This book just wasn’t for me, unfortunately. I picked it up and put it down multiple times since August. It was very slow to start and I didn’t really understand where it was going until about 50%. The last 50% was better, but still just not a favorite for me, unfortunately.

I enjoyed the idea of this book, but struggled a bit with every chapter being a different character. To be fair, I struggle with that every time I read a book like this. I kept wanting to read and enjoyed it, but am indifferent about the ending.

Imagine you get on a plane and after some delays you finally take over but suddenly someone is telling you your age and how you will die. What would you do?
This was a really good book and kept me intrigued from beginning to end. It felt fast paced cause each person was trying to beat their fate. I thought the flashbacks from the different individuals and stories helped contribute to the story. It added plot and depth and made the story make much more sense.

Definitely not my favorite book by Moriarty. There was so much death and trauma and I feel like I was just not in the right headspace for that. Obviously she is an extremely talented writer and I would read anything she writes but I feel like this was just not the right time for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty. This novel delivers Moriarty’s signature blend of mystery, family drama, and sharp character insights. The story unfolds with her trademark wit and intrigue, pulling me into a web of secrets, shifting relationships, and unexpected revelations. The pacing is steady, though it takes a little time to build momentum. Some characters felt more compelling than others, but Moriarty’s ability to weave humor and emotion into her storytelling kept me engaged. While not my favorite of her books, Here One Moment is still a solid, entertaining read that fans of her work will enjoy.

I liked this. Obviously this is a book that speaks a lot about death, loss and the feelings around those things, so a person should be mindful of that before reading. I really liked that feeling at the end when the different stories all tied together - like fitting the last piece into a puzzle.

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.
