Liane Moriaty is back with another page turning novel Here One Moment. A plane full of people stuck on the tarmac for a few hours, what else could go wrong. During the flight an older lady later dubed The Death Lady has been going passenger by passenger to tell them what they will die from and at what age. Does she really have the ability to foresee the future? When some of her perdictions coming true the passengers start a Facebook account as a platform for disscussion and to find out who The Death Lady really is. By the end of this book almost everyone has a connection with her through other people. This book kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. The question remains can you change your future to avoid your death? Are phyics real and can they actual see the future. I would like to thank both NetGalley and Crown Publishing for letting me read an advanced copy of this book.

Thank you, NetGalley, Crown Publishing and Liane Moriarty.

I actually finished this book over the weekend but needed time to process what I just read. My only thought is "what did I just read?" This book was not what I expected and I had to think about it. I expected more of a psych thriller but found it more thought provoking. I had feelings and thoughts that I was not expecting. It really had me thinking, what would I do if I knew when my death was going to happen and how. Would I become more cautious to the point that I don't end up enjoying life? Or do I just live the best life that I can?

I felt overwhelmed when I saw that this book had over 100 chapters. I do appreciate that they were short chapters and I don't believe there was much fluff in those chapters so the book was manageable. It did take me 2 days of reading but I also read it over a weekend. So glad that I did because it was tough to put down. I had to know what was going to happen to these characters that I've gotten attached to and I was invested in their lives.

I will admit that it took me awhile to get into this book but I think it was because there were so many characters that needed to be introduced in this book. As you can imagine, a plane full passengers means a plane full of different personalities and backgrounds. I think the author did a great job of providing enough information that was needed to not only understand the characters, but to somewhat get attached to them. Now not all of the characters are featured in the chapters after the plane ride which was kind of a disappointment. I would have liked to get to know a couple more a little more.

I will not disclose much about the mystery woman who was predicting the passenger's deaths, since she has her own story in this book. There were times that I didn't like her but then there were times that my heart broke for her. It just goes to show that everyone has a story and we shouldn't judge people on first impressions. At least sometimes.

It was amazing to see how many allowed her predictions to rule their lives and even changed some of their lives. It seemed like she made an impact on many of the characters and their lives. How a stranger could just impact a person with just a few words?! Granted those words weren't positive, but they did get some of them thinking about the lives they were currently living. Would some of them have continued living their lives without her predictions? We just never know how our words will impact others even strangers.

I went back and forth with 5 or 4 starts, so I will say 4 1/2. I just feel that even though the ending was interesting, it was missing something. I won't give it away but I did expect a little bit more. I also think this book could be triggering to some since there is a lot of talk about death and causes of it. I know it triggered me in some ways. So reader be aware!

I love Liane Moriarty but I wasn't sure how I would feel about this one based on the description. But I ended up really liking it and actually wished it followed more characters from the plane. A great beach read!

One of the great things about Liane Moriarty's novels are the short, punchy chapters, some only a paragraph long. Reading them as they rush from one character to another makes the book fly by. This one is an attention grabber as an older woman on a delayed flight stops, points at people in their seats, and issues a statement telling them when they will die and of the cause.

As the story progresses, you realize that alternate chapters are narrated by the fortune teller (later referred to as the Death Lady). The plane lands and almost immediately, one of the predicted death occurs...and we're off. Since this is Moriarity, get ready for a fun ride. She puts you into the mind of each character as they face what may be their endings. The novel is filled with coincidences as some of the characters on the place are connected to others.

This fun to read novel would have been five stars if all the characters were as memorable as Cherry. Unfortunately, I found myself asking "Who was Sue again?" and "wait, was Eve the bride?". But it doesn't matter because the novel is such fun to read. And it leaves you with a warning: Anything can happen, nothing is impossible, so stop and appreciate your life while you're alive.

Thank you, Net Galley, and Penguin Books for the ARC copy to read and review.

Loved! Have been searching for a book like The Immortalists ever since I read it and this was close. The premise of people finding out their death age and cause was super intriguing and loved all the interweaved story lines.

This was my first Liane Moriarty book, and if it is any indication of what her other books are like, it will definitely not be the last.

I don't want to give any spoilers, but I will say a couple of things that I enjoyed. The story is told through several different points of view, but every other chapter comes back to the same character, and her story is told over the whole book. I really liked this story telling method.

I honestly wasn't sure how the ending would play out. That is a rarity for me, and I very much enjoyed the experience.

One thing I wasn't expecting was a book that would deal with grief in such a beautiful way. I don't think I would have been able to read this a couple of years ago (for personal reasons), but I saved a few quotes that really spoke to me personally about the nature of grief.

Overall, I really liked this book. If Goodreads allowed half stars, this would definitely be 4.5 for me.

(Thank you to Netgalley and Crown Publishing for the chance to read this book early in exchange for an honest review.)

I've read a good number of books from this author and this one kept me wanting to read it.

What would you do if you thought you knew how and when you were going to die? Would you try to change your fate? These questions came up a little for me while I was reading this, as a flight from Hobart to Sydney leaves passengers having these same thoughts as another passenger predicts cause and age of deaths for the other passengers on the plane. Does knowing this information change how you would do things in life, or does one small change cause those predictions to come true?

This book had some well written characters, though I felt there were a few ends that needed a little more tied up, but overall, this book was well written and worth the read.

Thank you Netgalley for an ARC of this book.

First off, thank you to Nergalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this ARC! I have been thinking all weekend about what to write about this book and I am still at a loss. I had no idea where this book would go and even at the end I was unsure. It was well written though it took me a while to get into it, and the many characters and jumping around in time was a bit confusing. I don’t want to give anything away but will say this book is probably not what you are expecting based on the description. I enjoyed it and will recommend it!

I loved this title. Liane Moriarty always finds a way to craft the most creative and interesting books throughout the fiction section. And I can just say, this one did not let me down in that sense. It was such a unique concept and thats what I loved about it. There wasn't a dull moment throughout the story and I absolutely flew through it.
This might make my top 3 of Liane Moriarty books, and I am so happy to have a new entry into the list.

Thank you to Netgalley, Laine Moriarty, and the publishing company behind this title for giving me the opportunity to read this book before the release date.

Here One Moment captured my attention from the very beginning. Although it is long, the short, engaging chapters made it a quick read. A fortune teller on a plane tells the passengers their cause and time of death. The book then follows the lives of various passengers, as well as the life of the fortune teller. I enjoyed the multiple plot lines and was truly invested in each character. It was beautifully written and I was sad then it was over.

Here One Moment was thought provoking and interesting. The premise of Here One Moment is so intriguing! A woman (Cherry) onboard a plane begins giving her fellow passengers predictions about how and when they would die. This had the same questions swirling through my mind as the passengers on the plane had swirling through their minds. Is she a true psychic? Is what she is saying real? Should she be believed? Should they make changes to their lives?

The beginning of the book with the predictions grabbed my attention right away. I found myself pondering what I would do and how I would react if someone on a plane gave me a prediction. I felt for the passengers as they could not get away from her. She was unrelenting and did not stop.

Then the book follows some of the passengers as they go on with their lives after their flight. Then a few months after the flight, a fellow passenger dies! That passenger will not be the first to die as the woman predicted. Now they are nervous, what lies ahead for them?

This is a long book which often felt long. Initially I enjoyed Cherry's thoughts about the predictions she made and the glimpses into her past. But then the sections on Cherry became a bit much for me. I was invested in the passengers and how the predictions affected them. I wanted to know about their lives and their thoughts.

This was a thought-provoking book, and parts were quite captivating but again this book felt too long. Although I think it was important to learn about Cherry, this also dragged the book down a little for me. Liane Moriarty is a gifted author who focuses on human nature/behaviors, relationships, and actions.

I feel that this would make a great book for book clubs to discuss and ponder.

The way this starts with that delayed flight and the lady who goes around the plane, telling the people cause of death and age of death, it got me hooked so fast to see if they were true or if it was possible to avoid their fates by changing something. The characters were all interesting from Leo, the workaholic, to Paula frantically teaching her infant son to swim so he would not die by drowning at age 7, and even Eve and Dom, the newlyweds facing an intimate partner homicide. And It was fun to see if they made changes that made the difference and I rooted them on the whole time with their decisions to avoid fights, get tests done for various illness and just learn to let go of stress and get the fun things done that you had been wishing for your whole life. The stakes were definitely raised when the first few deaths came true! I also liked how the story weaved with the present and then the past with Cherry and how she came to be on that flight with the predictions. I also enjoyed, as it got closer to the end, how everything was all connected. It left me with a satisfying feeling at the end and I enjoyed reading this book a lot!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an advance copy of this book to read and review.

I normally like Liane Moriarty books, but like other readers have stated, Here One Moment felt long and a bit tedious to get through. It was hard to keep track of the various points of view.

I may go back and re-read the book at a later time just to see if I can get more invested in the story and the characters. There were just a lot of slow parts for me.

I am a big fan of most of Liane Moriarty's work. When I read the description of her latest, Here One Moment, I was reminded of one of my favorite books, The Measure by Nikki Erlick. The premise is similar, but on a smaller scale. The whole world doesn't find out when they will die, and the ones that do are not given the choice of whether or not to find out. A plane flying between Tasmania and Australia has a passenger named Cherry on board who gets up, starts walking down the aisle, and telling each person on board, from babies to the elderly, the age they will die and what the cause will be. Not many believe at first, but when Cherry's predictions start coming true, people's lives are changed in ways both good and bad.

I enjoyed the beginning of the book, thought things started lagging about a third of the way through, found that they picked up again about midway through the story, and then again lost focus until near the end. The predictions and some of the characters were quite interesting. The interspersed chapters from Cherry's point of view that go back in time and tell about random bits of her life were interesting at first, but I started to find them less interesting as the story went on. I found the ways in which many passengers lives were affected interesting as well, but definitely felt like the story dragged towards its conclusion.

Even though this one wasn't a true hit for me, I would still recommend that others give it a try. It is being marketed as a thriller, but I would consider it to be more psychological fiction than anything else.

Thank you to NetGalley, Liane Moriarty, and Crown Publishing for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

I enjoyed the premise of the storyline. However, I felt like I got lost in following the characters and connecting each to the story. I also felt at times the story was drawn out where it did not need to be.

Despite the above points, I did enjoy the book. At times, it hit home.

This book was a bit too long, overall, good premise. I felt that. Lot of the Cherry background was unnecessary.

Here One Moment was a fantastic read. With many elements of a psychological thriller but also the depth of a philosophical read this book is entertaining and thought provoking. I love this particular type of book. They are a rare find in the mystery/thriller world. A clairvoyant boards a plane with travel in mind. As the passengers take flight she begins predicting the deaths of each person aboard the plan. Some sooner than others. The story then follows the passengers on the plane from after the flight up until their predicted death date, all while learning the origin story of the clairvoyant and her unique wisdom about life. This book is incredible and left me with a bitter/sweet appreciation for life. If I could give it more stars than five I would.

The premise of this book was so intriguing to me, and it did not disappoint. I finished it almost a week ago and I still find myself thinking about it.

While this was longer than my ideal read, it was broken down into small chapters, so it did not feel too long. I really enjoyed following along with the passengers after the flight and getting their perspective. It had humor, was thought-provoking and was an all-around great read.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for the Advanced Reader’s Copy of Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty. I love Liane Moriarty books and her ability to make you feel connected to her characters. This one was no exception and grabbed me from the beginning.

Fantastic story telling centering around a woman (the Death Lady) telling all the passengers on her flight the age and cause of their deaths. What would you do with your life if you knew you only had so much time left? This book takes you through a number of the characters mindsets as they navigate this question.

It wasn’t a quick read for me but it was well worth it along with the message you are left with after reading it. Thank you for another great reading adventure, Liane Moriarty!

I received this ARC for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Here One Monent had a very interesting premise and I enjoyed reading it. However, I did struggle connecting to the characters. It was long and drawn out and shifted points of view a bit jarringly. Leaving some stories finished with other characters seemingly forgotten. All impacted quit dramatically from a moment of sometimes scary predictions. I feel saying she had no powers like her mother to be a bit of a disappointment since it seems no matter the reason for the event an untrue statement which leaves you with a feeling of was this a paranormal situation where she did clearly give a bass prediction or did she just make it up as a good guess. I find that unlike since she did not know the passengers or their lifestyles before hand as she surely would if she were doing an insurance policy.

I honestly don’t know I enjoyed it and yet I found flaws so I guess give it a go n see what you think. If you let go of the unanswered questions and just enjoy it as a what if scenario than you will live the book.
