I am usually hit or miss on this author but this one was a hit . I love that it focused on death in a comedic way in silicon a way to help you value life . It was a good book with a good hook

We are all going to die at some time but would you want to know when and how? I enjoyed the character development. My only suggestion would be to label the chapters with the name of the character the chapter is related to. As I read it took a minute to figure out whose story I was reading. Great book!

On a delayed flight from Sydney to Hobart a phsycic walks up and down the aisles predicting passengers death and age of death. The book deals with the repercussions of these predictions on the passengers as well as the physic.

I throughly enjoyed the novel. It discussed death intimately but also in a comedic way that did not feel heavy. For those readers skeptic of a "fantasy" or "magic" book, this was not that. Moriarty write beautifully and realistically that makes the reader poignantly reflect.

This one will stay for me a long time. So many nuggets of information to help you live a fulfilled life. The last quote should be put up on the walls of every high school.

“It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time in Earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up that we begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it’s the only one we had.” Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I am at a turning point in my own life and this book was such a timely read for me. Imagine if you are on a plane and a passenger goes through the plane and tells everyone what they will die from and when they will die Then some of the passengers start dying. If you knew what would die soon what would you do differently.

This author is one of my favorites and I thank her and publisher and #netGalley for an ARC. I loved the way the lives of the passengers were intertwined and how the book ended.

This is another Liane Moriarty hit! This book follows the stories of several passengers on a plane where a “psychic” gave death prophesies. The chapters are short and make for a quick read with several story lines going on a once. I was immediately drawn in by the foreshadowing in the first pages of the book.
Overall, this was a wonderful read with an ending that ties everything together and has a good message to take away from the book. I would have preferred more of the plane passengers stories as opposed to Cherry’s (the “psychic”) life story. I found most of her chapters very dull toward the middle of the book and ultimately contributed minimally to the entire storyline.
I will be recommending this as a great Fall read to all my friends!

This book...wow, certainly makes you think! I don't want to say much without giving away spoilers, but the story captivated me from the very beginning and throughout. Thank you for the opportunity to read this one!

📖 Review:
Liane Moriarty’s Here One Moment is an absolutely captivating novel that blends mystery, suspense, and philosophical musings into a riveting read! If you’ve ever pondered the question of fate versus free will, this book will keep you enthralled from the first page to the last. 📚✨

Imagine boarding a plane for a routine flight and finding out not just when, but how you’re going to die. This is exactly what happens to the passengers of a seemingly ordinary domestic flight. The twist? These eerie predictions come from the enigmatic “Death Lady,” whose presence and predictions turn everyone’s world upside down. 😱✈️

Moriarty’s cast of characters is brilliantly diverse and engaging. From the newlyweds to the possibly famous jittery woman, the off-duty superhero look-alike, and the stunning yet frazzled flight attendant, each person’s reaction to their predicted fate is both unique and deeply human. The psychological depth and humor with which Moriarty explores their lives make this novel a page-turner. 👰🤵👩‍✈️🦸‍♂️

The tension ramps up when the first few predictions come true. Suddenly, what seemed like an odd, entertaining story morphs into a terrifying reality. The passengers are forced to confront their mortality and question everything they thought they knew about life and destiny. This premise had me hooked, and I couldn’t wait to see how each character’s story would unfold. 💀📅

Moriarty masterfully balances profound questions with her signature wit and humor. Here One Moment not only makes you reflect on what you would do if you knew your time was limited but also entertains with its sharp social observations and engaging narrative. It’s a brilliant exploration of human nature, grief, love, and the relentless quest for control in an unpredictable world. 🤔❤️

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was so excited to read Liane Moriarty’s upcoming book, and it did not disappoint! I love the mystery behind it and getting so many perspectives. Moriarty fans will love her latest offering.

4.5 stars!

Liane Moriarty has done it again! Her books are always so fantastic and engaging and her characters always have so many layers. This one is no exception.

While on a flight, a woman walks down the aisle of the plane in a bit of haze telling everyone what their age of death and cause of death will be. Everyone thinks she’s a bit of nut until her predictions start coming true. This story is told from the perspectives of multiple characters, including Cherry, the woman who made all the predictions. Most of the POVs are from characters who have been given a short time to live and the book explores what they want to do with their remaining days and if they can counteract the predictions that were made.

One of my favorite books of all time is The Measure by Nikki Erlick. This book reminded me a lot of that one. The story is totally different, but the theme of making the most of the precious life you’ve been given is the same…and it’s apparently I theme I really appreciate.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for an ARC of this book. It releases on 10 September and it’s one I highly recommend!

Such an interesting and unusual story of human nature! The characters in this book become real as they face fear, anxiety and feelings of guilt as they contemplate their mortality.. it was a very thought provoking novel, making me think about how I would handle the situations these people were forced to come to terms with. I was very happy with the ending!

I loved this book and wish it were longer! I’ve read everything by Liane Moriarty and this is my new favorite. The premise of the book, foretold deaths, is a heavy topic, but it is told in such an artful and enjoyable way. Moriarty has a gift for balancing heavy topics with a light and intelligent writing style, and I don’t know who else could have executed this idea so well. I felt entertained and wanting more during this entire read, and I left with some valuable life lessons. I highly recommend this one!

This is a great book! It held my interest the entire time and kept me guessing until the end. Highly recommended for general fiction readers!

I loved this book! It was so unique, I haven’t read a book with this type of storyline or ending before and I truly enjoyed it start to finish. The book centers around an incident on a plane ride where a woman walks down the aisle and points to other flyers and says “cause of death, age of death”. As you can imagine that could be pretty terrifying or calming depending on the news to each individual. The story weaves through the lives of Cherry and other flyers as they go home and process what they have heard. 10 out of 10 for me!

I really wanted to like this book, I've loved pretty much everything else I've read by Liane Moriarty. But this one just didn't do it for me... it felt really slow and it was difficult to keep track of all the different characters and their stories. I felt the ending fell extremely flat as well. I'm definitely disappointed.

A Delightful Surprise!

When I first encountered the premise of this book, I was skeptical. It sounded a bit canned or cliché. However, Liane Moriarty managed to take what seemed like a conventional setup and transform it into something I truly loved.

This book was funny, fierce, and unpredictable, capturing the essence of what it means to be human. Moriarty deftly balanced the lighthearted moments with the heavy ones, creating a narrative that was both entertaining and thought-provoking. Her character development was spot on – not too much, not too little. Each character felt real and relatable, their journeys resonating deeply without becoming overly sentimental.

I loved how Moriarty wove together multiple storylines. The alternating voices kept me on my toes, yet I never felt lost. This intricate tapestry of narratives was perfectly executed, making the story both engaging and easy to follow. The author's exploration of how we manage our fears and navigate the timelines of our lives was reflective and insightful, yet it never veered saccharine. She handled these themes with a deft touch, offering wisdom without preaching.

While I've had mixed experiences with Moriarty's books in the past, this one was a true delight. It exceeded my expectations in every way, and I found myself savoring each page. If you're looking for a book that is both entertaining and deeply human, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

And a big thank you to Crown Publishing for gifting me an ARC copy of this book.

Reviewed for NetGalley:

Told from the multiple perspectives, passengers on a domestic flight, all encounter the "Death Lady," who gives out death predictions, down to the age and method, to her fellow passengers.

After the flight lands, however, it is after some of these predictions come true, that everyone's mind is reeling.

I enjoyed the concept, but the multitude of characters easily lost me along the way.

Liane Moriarty has done it again with her latest novel, "Here One Moment." This five-star read is a testament to Moriarty's unparalleled ability to captivate and intrigue her audience, weaving an intricate web of characters and events that leaves you questioning reality and destiny.

The premise of "Here One Moment" is as extraordinary as it is thought-provoking. An ordinary domestic flight takes an unexpected turn when passengers learn how and when they are going to die. The news is met with a mix of reactions—some laugh at their distant demise, while others face the chilling reality of an imminent end. The mysterious "Death Lady," who delivers these prophecies, becomes the focal point of this fascinating tale.

Moriarty’s pacing is fabulous, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat from start to finish. The narrative flows seamlessly, with each chapter adding depth and intrigue to the story. The characters are masterfully crafted, each with their own unique reactions and coping mechanisms to their predicted deaths. From the bride and groom to the jittery famous woman, to the giant Hemsworth-esque guy and the frazzled flight attendant, every character is intriguing and richly developed.

What stands out most is Moriarty’s ability to connect these diverse characters in an intricate web that is both astounding and believable. The way their lives intersect and impact each other is a testament to her storytelling prowess. This interconnectedness adds layers to the narrative, making it even more engaging and thought-provoking.

One of the highlights of the book is the lingering ambiguity about what to believe. Even after turning the last page, I am still not sure what is real and what is not, and I absolutely love that feeling. Moriarty brilliantly explores the concept of destiny and the extent to which our choices influence our fate. The novel delves into various schools of thought on whether destiny can be impacted or controlled by our actions, encouraging readers to reflect on their own lives and decisions.

"Here One Moment" is a powerful reminder that while we may not control our ultimate fate, we can control the choices we make along the way. It is a thought-provoking, heart-wrenching, and beautifully written book that challenges readers to think deeply about life, death, and the spaces in between.

In conclusion, "Here One Moment" is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a well-crafted, deeply engaging story. Liane Moriarty has once again proven why she is a master of her craft, delivering a novel that is both entertaining and profoundly impactful. Loved it overall!

Coming September 2024! If you were told how and when your life was going to end, what would you do? This is the main idea behind Here One Moment. I’ve read all of Liane Moriarty’s novels (minus The Last Anniversary) and this one would probably rank somewhere in the middle for me. There were about 8 main characters you needed to remember, as each short chapter jumps to a different story. It was entertaining enough, but it just didn’t do it for me. The Measure by Nikki Erlick has a very similar theme, but I feel is executed much better.

Wow! How these peoples lives were changed by their prediction of how and when they would die! Cherry won me over by the end of the novel! I will continue to think about these characters even after reading the book. How the predictions made them more aware of their health and relationships and improved their lives for the better! Highly recommend!

If you think about it, we will all be here one moment, gone the next. Passengers on a plane are forced to think about this when a fellow passenger starts telling them when they will die and how. No one truly believes what she says…or do they? Narratives are alternated between the so-called psychic and the other passengers. Some of the passengers are convinced the woman can see the future and predict their fates. Some are sure she’s a fake. But all of them can’t help thinking about it. Especially when people start dying. I highly recommend Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty. It will entertain you, but mostly, it will make you think.
