I liked it. Following a group of individuals, who believe that they’d had their death date and circumstances foretold by another passenger, makes for an interesting read. They all react differently to the possibility of knowing how and when they were to die. It’s not a quick read, with more than 400 pages and a lot of characters to keep track of but it’s well written. It makes you think……… what would you do with that information?
Thank You to NetGalley, Crown Publishing, and Liane Moriarty for the opportunity to enjoy this ARC.

Unfortunately I didn’t like anything about this story.. too many characters, nothing was coming together for me. Many of her other stories have been great, but this did not hit for me

Wow this might be the best book I’ve ever read by Liane Moriarty. The whole idea of the book is so unique and gripping from the very start.
A woman on a plane makes predictions of cause and age of death for a multitude of passengers. When the predictions start becoming true it gets crazy for all the other passengers especially those with their age of death fast approaching. We follow several passengers through their journey after the plane trip and how their lives change because of the death prediction. We also learn more about “The Death Lady” and how she came to be predicting deaths on the plane.

I highly recommend this book to all. It’s a powerful book and leaves you pondering about your own life.

After an incredibly long flight delay, the passengers on a short flight are ready to get to their destination. Once in the air, they don't encounter turbulence, but a passenger who walks through the entire plane predicting the age and how they will die. While some with shorter life predictions are upset, most everyone is slightly frustrated but soon moves on once they deplane.

Until several months later and one of the predictions from "The Death Lady" comes true. Now everyone, especially those who has deaths predicted soon, are paying attention. Can they change their lives to outsmart the predictions?

I loved this read! While a longer book, it had multiple points of view from 5 passengers and the elderly "Death Lady" that kept me engrossed from beginning to end. Thank you NetGally and Crown Publishing for providing me a e-book copy to read in advance!

This was such a wild ride of a book, I enjoyed it so much! Each character’s storyline was so well done and I loved Cherry’s story- even if it started out tumultuous! Truly a book that makes you think about what you would do if you were told your cause and age of death. It’s one of those books that just makes you think and connects humans in strange ways, truly enjoyed it!

TL;DR: I’m going to be a little controversial here…I’m not generally a bit fan of Liane Moriarty’s books. In the wake of the success of BIG LITTLE LIES, I joined the collective book community in devouring the rest of the author’s backlist, and save for THE HUSBAND’S SECRET, I struggled with the other titles (don’t even get me started on the ending to APPLES NEVER FALL). That being said, Moriarty continues to dominate as one of the most high-profile authors working today, and I was pleasantly surprised by her latest, HERE ONE MOMENT, which may end up being one of my favorites by the author. The book is a 512-page sprawling multi-POV character story with a fantastic set-up: the passengers of a commercial aircraft are forever connected when a woman on the plane shockingly begins pointing at each person onboard, telling them how they are going to die and at what age. The first 150 pages of the book are basically this inciting incident and intros to several of the passengers who are confronted and then come to realize the unhinged woman on the plane may in fact have a talent for predicting the future when her prophecies start to come true. Yes, the book does meander a bit (and I wish the characters were more interconnected), but overall this was a really fun read. It’s soapy and twisty, and explores themes of grief and destiny and our ability to control our lives in really interesting ways. It’s definitely worth checking out when the book hits shelves on SEPTEMBER 10th. Thanks to my friends at @crownpublishing for the advanced copy.

I was really excited to start this one and I felt like I was immediately pulled into the story.
However, about a fifth of the way through the novel, I found myself wanting more than just random passenger stories. The novel felt aimless without a central story arc. It wasn’t until about halfway through the book, once some deaths started happening as predicted, that it became more compelling. However, reading about the passengers’ reactions to their predicaments was depressing.

I set the book down to get a break and just couldn't pick it back up. Therefore I didn't end up finishing it.

Here One Moment quickly became one of my favorite reads this year. The plot centering around a clairvoyant woman predicting death causes and death dates to passengers on a plane is wholly unique. I quickly became invested in every storyline and the outcome for each character. This was a beautifully crafted, complex, and ultimately life-affirming novel.

This story is about life, death, risk and choosing to make the moments count. It illustrates that the actions of others have ripple effects. While the book revolves around lot of different and interesting characters, it is easy to follow and a very entertaining read. Cherry (the main character) was wonderfully developed. I loved it and it has risen to my favorite by this author. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital advanced reading copy. 5/5!

Loved this book! Can't stop thinking about it and can't stop talking about it. Sure to be a hit with book clubs everywhere!

Rounding up from 3.5 stars. Liane Moriarty is an excellent writer (duh). Her characters are so well developed. I had no idea where this book was going to go- even at 50 and 60% you're like just waiting for something crazy to happen--but it never does. It kept me guessing for sure. Is it real? Is it not real? I had no idea. But I also felt like while the point was made in the book, I didn't feel like it had a satisfying ending for all the characters. What happened to the bride?! Did her husband stop chaining himself to the bed?! I need to know!

Gosh this is hard for me to review. The first half of the book I would swear it was a 5-star read. I loved it and couldn’t wait to read more. Despite coming in at over 500 pages, I was flying through it. Then came the second half which was more of a 2-star read. I wanted to know what was going to happen to the people on the plane. I didn’t want to hear Cherry’s whole life story. That could’ve been a book all on its own. Since it felt like a chore getting through her parts I was hoping for an amazingly satisfying ending but I just found it ok. Such a bummer because I was really loving it at first.

This book was gripping and hard to put down. It didn't feel like everything else you see out there, it felt very fresh. I really enjoyed this book!

If you could know when you will die, would you WANT to know? For passengers on a plane, another passenger tells them exactly when they will die. They think it is all a fun joke, but then what she predicted happens! This book is filled with quirky characters and you must keep reading to see how it all goes. I received an advanced readers copy and all opinions are my own.

Liane Moriarty continues to be a fabulous storyteller in her newest novel Here One Moment. The story starts in a way reminiscent of Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, as our narrator, who we later learn is named Cherry, goes up and down the aisle of a plane telling everyone their cause and age of death.

As the tale unravels, in many short chapters, the people who have been “diagnosed,” try and solve two things: Who is the Death Lady and how accurate are her fortunes? The story becomes one of fate, destiny and free will, told in a manner unique to Moriarty. She touches on such a variety of topics, from birth and death to illness and aging to love and grief. It is one that cannot be missed.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, electronic ARC of this novel received in exchange for an honest review.

I adore Liane Moriarty and her novels, and this one was no exception!

The plot centers on a group people traveling on a plane from Hobart to Sydney. During the flight one of the passengers, Cherry, gets up and, to everyone's shock, starts to prophesy the exact time and cause of death of each passenger. She does this for everyone, regardless of how old they are or how devastating the death's cause may be. She is not taken seriously until her prophecies begin to come true one after another, which creates a suspenseful atmosphere that keeps readers on the edge of their seats the entire book!

Liane goes back to what she does best—a vast ensemble of people with compelling backstories for everyone. The chapters move around the different people, introducing them and building tension over whether or not they will still be alive in a few pages. They were all fascinating, and it was simple to remember each of their stories.

Cherry was a fantastic character; she begins as an elderly woman experiencing a psychic event, but as we learn more about her background and upbringing, we can better relate to her.

Moriarty crafts brilliant narratives and distinctive, captivating characters. I adore her writing style, the smooth way the plots come together at the end, and how distinctive each of her stories is. Highly recommended for every fan of good thriller.

Any Moriarty book is an automatic TBR for me. This one presented a little less romantic chaos for me that I have been used to. The premise started out great - how crazy to have some lady telling you your age and manner of death, completely unsolicited. I almost wished there was something more magical to her background, aside from her mother's occupation.

Here one moment hits the readers with a very interesting scenario and starts off to question their inner feelings/thoughts about something as morbid as death. It jets off when a strange lady starts predicting every passenger's death and age at death in a flight and this sets off bizarre circumstances in everyone's life as most people understandably cannot let go of a topic as huge as their death. Almost everyone is now obsessed about their D-day and make their life decisions around it but was that lady really that capable or was she a con-artist? Cherry has lived an interesting life but this few hours have impacted others' lives so much it has been both positive and negative for some people. But as a reader, I needed to know more on why Cherry acted the way she did and how does everyone's life change on learning the truth?

At certain moments of this book, I considered not giving it five stars. I wasn't enjoying Cherry's interludes and there are some specific references I found particularly corny and cringe, even for Liane Moriarty. But when I was absolutely flat out sobbing with joy as I finished the epilogue, I knew, well... fate can't be fought.

Liane Moriarty truly has one of the greatest gifts for making me fall head-over-heels in love with her characters. The smallest details are like a dagger into my heart. I'm such a fan of the resolution because as I was reading, I really felt the book could go only one of two ways, but I was surprised by how the math and the magic really come together. What I love so much about Liane's writing is how the world is often cruel and frightening and unpredictable, but that the people are empathetic and supportive and full of love and trust for one another. It truly doesn't get old to me.

Here One Moment brings the reader to the question - Do you want to know when and how you will die? Liane Moriarty addresses this question in a very interesting and well developed book. It is set on an airplane where things are predicted and for some panic sets in. She follows some of these characters closely and the woman who made these predictions. Here One Moment is a fascinating and thought provoking book.
