Imagine you’re on a plane. It’s a short flight and you’re just ready to get home. But on this plane, in the middle of the flight, a woman walks around, points out each passenger, and tells them how and when they are going to die. Well, in Here One Moment, this happens to the passengers of the flight from Hobart to Sydney, Australia. Most of the passengers blow off the prediction but for 6 of these passengers, their predicted death dates are not far off and this makes them a little unnerved. At first, no one really takes her predictions too seriously, until those predictions start coming true. If you knew you only had a limited time left to live, would you make changes to your life and do things differently?

This book, with its eccentric cast of characters, will make you contemplate life and how you live it. Written in multiple POV, you get a look inside each character’s mind. It takes a look at themes of grief, love and life written in a comical way. You will be desperate to know what happens to who next! This book delivers a powerful message to its readers to live life to the fullest!

Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC copy of Here One Moment in exchange for my honest review.

I have enjoyed all (but one) of Liane Moriarty’s novels, so was excited to get this ARC. Here One Moment details the lives of several people aboard a plane with Cherry Smith, after she tells them all when she expects them to die and how. No one wants to believe her. They all think it’s lunacy. And yet, their lives become threaded with fear. Especially after people on the plane die in the exact way Cherry predicted.

Cherry also tells her story. We travel back in time through her childhood, loves, travels, everything. We start to believe she might have some psychic abilities. I didn’t know where this book would go… I wondered will every character die of her prediction by this book’s end? And continually wondered how I’d act or feel if told about my own untimely demise.

This book is on the longer slide and moves a little slower than I would have liked. The writing didn’t grab me, but I was interested enough to stick with it. Overall, I’d recommend it, but it’s not my favorite Liane Moriarty read.


Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read Here One Moment. I’ve read all of Liane Moriarty’s books, and this one did not disappoint. It was actually quite clever with the death predictions, and I was curious I how it would all play out. At first I was confused with all the characters, but then they became familiar to me. I also found myself really enjoying the story of the Death Lady. I highly recommend this book!

Liane Moriarty's "Here One Moment" is an enthralling exploration of fate, free will, and the human condition that I found utterly captivating. The novel takes an ordinary domestic flight and transforms it into a gripping, thought-provoking journey that left me pondering long after I turned the last page.

From the moment the passengers aboard the flight learn their fates, the narrative takes off with a blend of suspense, humor, and deep emotional resonance. Moriarty’s ability to weave complex characters—each with their unique quirks and stories—into a cohesive and engaging plot is nothing short of masterful. The enigmatic “Death Lady” and her chilling predictions create a palpable tension that drives the story forward, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.

The real strength of "Here One Moment" lies in its profound exploration of human nature. How would you live your life if you knew your death was imminent? Moriarty delves into this question with both sensitivity and wit, offering insights that are both poignant and thought-provoking. The varied responses of the passengers to their predicted deaths highlight the diverse ways people cope with the inevitability of mortality.

The novel’s ability to balance humor with a deeper existential inquiry is reminiscent of Jane Austen’s sharp social commentary, yet with a modern twist. Moriarty’s storytelling is as compelling as ever, blending elements of mystery, drama, and a touch of the supernatural to create a truly unforgettable read.

I am deeply grateful to NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to review this remarkable book. "Here One Moment" is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a well-crafted story that challenges the mind and touches the heart. Thank you, NetGalley, for this incredible reading experience!

Thank you NetGalley, Liane Moriarty, and Crown for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I enjoyed this book but it wasn't my favorite and one I definitely stretched out over the past month. The multiple characters and switching back from past to present really made my brain work!

Liane Moriarty has done it again—this time with a captivating tale that blends humor, mystery, and existential questions. The characters are interesting, unique and even fascinating at times. You will laugh and even feel connected to their experiences. I love the plot! Imagine knowing your future the when and how you will die. I'm not sure I would want to but it is an adventure. There are so many unexpected twists that left me in a rollercoaster of emotions. A fresh take on life's biggest questions.

Moriarty does it again. The second I read the synopsis for this book, I wanted to know what happened. It starts on a plane, simple enough, with a variety of passengers traveling for all sorts of reasons. Then the "Death Lady" enters, exclaiming age and cause of death for many of the passengers. Would you want to know? What would be different if you did? While there were rapid changes of POV between the fortune teller and the passengers, I found it easy to switch voices and follow the story. I found the ending satisfying, and had immediate tears on the last page. Would recommend to readers of Moriarty's work, and those who enjoy a fast paced read that still makes you think. #HereOneMoment #NetGalley

This one was just okay for me. I really enjoy Liane Moriarty novels so I was excited to get an ARC. But this felt way longer than it needed. The “death lady” walks around predicting when people are going to die while on a plane. Then each chapter would switch to one of them but I could never remember who was who or how they were predicted to die. I think putting this info in the chapter title would help a ton! It gave Final Destination vibes which I liked because that movie is a favorite of mine. Overall, I’ll probably forget how it ends.

Another fantastic read from Liane Moriarty! During a flight, a plane full of passengers each learn how much longer they have to live from a fellow passenger. When the couple of passengers who were slated to pass away soon after the flight actually die as predicted, those aboard that fateful flight start to believe what they were told.

Like all of Liane Moriarty's novels this one is written beautifully. A story so complex and so intriguing, I couldn't put it down.

What a great story! Interesting topic for a book that I could see happening in real life! It was very clever how the story wove together at the end. I will highly recommend this book!

I truly loved this book which takes a look at how life might be different if we knew when we might no longer be here. I enjoyed getting to know each character and how their life has been impacted by the possibility of their death. This one will stay with me for quite a while!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This long, fascinating saga is a mind-bending mystery with mystical, dramatic, and philosophical elements. It delivers a powerful message, advising readers to live their lives fully in their limited time, defying the odds and beating the reaper by challenging statistical consequences.
During a flight, a woman predicts the time and cause of death for many passengers.
Some are many years in the future destined for a long life, others find their prediction to be in the near future.
In the following weeks when the woman's predictions begin to come true, the other passengers begin to panic.
Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for a copy of the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty was excellent! I had been waiting for her next book to come out and this one didn’t disappoint!

Review to come closer to publication date. Will be posted on my Goodreads account (http://www.goodreads.com/_the_anxious_reader) on August 12th to generate buzz before the release date in September.

I have heard some really good reviews for this book. Unfortunately for me it fell very flat. I found it very confusing to keep track of who was who. Cherry’s story seemed to drag a bit. It was not something I find myself wanting to discuss with others. Yes the premise of knowing when you are going to die seems interesting enough the book was not

Loved this story. Very unique. Kept me on my toes. Liane Moriarty is an amazing author. Definitely recommend this one!

I found this book very intriguing. If you knew how and when you were going to die, would you live life differently? Would you make different choices? Would you take chances you normally wouldn't take? What an interesting concept to think about! I think all of us can honestly answer yes, we would. We would do all of that and more with the time we had left!
I have never read a book by Liane Moriarty, but I would definitely read another! I enjoyed the writing style, the short chapters, and the brief emotional moments. Nothing felt too overdone or underdeveloped. I did have trouble keeping track of all the characters at times, but that is just a personal issue. The chapter would give clues that would remind me who was who and what their story was leading up to that point, so it all worked out fine in the end. I was glad each character had a complete story - nothing was left unsaid.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinions.

A good story. I love Liane’s characters and the excellent connections she draws through her story telling.

Such a good, different book! I love Liane Moriarty’s books and this one is easily one of my favorites. Definitely recommend it. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review
