Would you want to know when and how you die? I am so happy Liane Moriarty has a new book! I feel like I have been waiting forever! I like this authors writing style and connect with her characters. I was hooked from the beginning. This book definitely made me think about life and death and appreciate the people I still have here with me. This will be a great pick for a book club and will have great topics for discussion! #HereOneMoment #NetGalley

I was expecting this to be more suspenseful than it actually was. I didn’t find the premise to be all that intriguing for me but that is just my style.

Go into this book knowing it is not a thriller, it’s like a contemporary mystery? I dont know I felt the book dragging on throughout and was interested enough but not entirely hooked.

I was more interested in this book than I was in “Nine perfect strangers” of hers but it was still not all that interesting. I think it just didn’t excite me and I feel like I am coming to the sad conclusion that Liane Moriarty’s books are just not for me. They just do not excite me.

Thank you NetGalley for a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a Moriarty fan, so her novels are must-reads for me. "Here One Moment" presents the question, What would you do if you knew what age you would be when you died, as well as the cause of your death. I was intrigued enough to read this in one sitting. The book is full of fleshed-out characters and is more of a character study than plot-driven. Recommended for fans of Moriarty and readers who find deep dives into life and death questions compelling. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I am a little hit or miss with Moriarty’s book. This one kept me engaged and I enjoyed it. I can’t wait for my
friends to read it so we can discuss it!

What an unexpectedly profound book about life and death! I expected sad twists and turns but despite being a book about death, the tragedy wasn’t as forefront as I thought. I am pandering as I try not to spoil what happens but it’s a wonderful book! Another favorite by Moriarty!!

This was a different book for the author and one that invokes the reader to think about their life priorities. Thank you to the publisher, the author and Net Galley for the opportunity for review. My review opinion is my own.

The premise is that a disoritented mentally ill senior is wandering a plane predicting death deaths and causes of death for the passengers. Anyone can imagine how upsetting this is and she causes some to have anxiety and issues for years after. Many of the passengers obsess over her statements and some do come true years later.. This leads some to seek her out and research her history. She claims to have no memory of what she died even after affecting the lives of so many on the plane. One young Mother is especislly disturbed after the woman predicts her childs death at a young age. The author delves i]nto her background where she is using her grief over lost husband to account for her mental breaks. The story is thought provoking at best. It gives your pause to consider death dates which is depressing . Definitly not a uplifting story.

Well this wasnt as thrilling as I expected it to be. It was a really heartwarming book though and I really enjoyed all the characters. I do with the actual "what this is about" said a bit more about the actual storyline because it was so much more than what it said.

While this wasn't my favorite of Liane Moriarty's book, it delivered a powerful punch. Picture a full plane with an older woman walking down the aisle midair, advising you of your future age and cause of death. This story is told from multiple POV and gives us insight to many of the passengers. Enjoy this slow burn !

So the question here is what would you do if you were told exactly how old
you would be when you die and how you are going to die?
A plane full of travelers are treated to this as an elderly lady walks the aisle
and tells each passenger what their fate will be.
When a passenger dies later, exactly as predicted, the nerves and fright
of the others begins to ratchet up.
It hits its peak with this: all downhill, from here, for me.
The narrative surrounding the physic goes on and on until you want to flip
the pages just to get through it.
Some of the characters are interesting and very understandably confused but
most are paper cut outs of what you "should expect" from people in a similar
situation.
Do your movement pre in life cause your foibles in life or do your foibles cause
your movements??
Made myself finish it.

I am a huge Liane Moriarty fan. The premise of this book really drew me in - very clever, very unique! The first, say, 25% had me HOOKED. I really connected with the storylines, characters - thought their development was excellent. I felt I was on that plane! I was dying - pardon the pun - to see where this was going. Then I started to feel it lost its way a little. We got way too much of the Death Lady's backstory, and some of it almost felt like filler - it was more the author had given us her autobiography without us knowing how 80% of it was even relevant to the story. It became a book about HER. I don't have to like a character, but I have to be intrigued by them. Unfortunately Death Lady did not intrigue me at all. I ended up skimming her chapters to get to the outcomes of the predictions. When I got there, I felt in some way like I was wanting more. A touch more plot? More intrigue? A twist that took the book charging off in a surprising direction? I felt a little unsatisfied. The book is getting some wonderful reviews, so maybe the theme just fell a bit flat for me. That said, what a cool idea! And what terrific character development! Liane really does know how to create real people on the page. I DID end up feeling like I knew all of them pretty well by the end.

I just finished wiping the tears from my face...the most beautifully, poignant book that I have read in a long while. Cherry will be added to my list of favorite characters.
You are on a flight when suddenly a passenger starts to give you predictions of your death. What follows is how each passenger reacts to these fore tellings. I had chills at times and really felt Cherry's heartbreaks
Someone please turn this into a movie. Liane Moriarty congratulations on an outstanding novel.
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC...my pleasure to give back my opinion.

Really enjoyed this book!!! Have been a Liane Moriarty fan for some time, and she just keeps getting better and better!! The premise of the book, knowing when you might die, is so thought provoking. Would you want to know? What would you do if you did know? I loved the way the author provided all the various perspectives.....some people took preventative action and warded off a possible demise. Others let it rule their life. And others just went on about their business not really believing the prediction. The author handled all the different story lines so well, including that of the protagonist. Highly recommend this book, it is definitely a page turner.

i’d consider myself a wannabe liane moriarty—she has such charming characterization and a really special ability to weave millions of loose strings into the most perfect, satisfactory knot of an ending. this novel about a psychic on a plane predicting each passenger’s cause of death and age of death, and the subsequent ramifications that occur upon each unique character realizing their death is sooner—or farther away—than they initially thought, was an absolute delight.

I'm a fan of Liane Moriarty perhaps because many of her books don't fall exactly in the typical thriller genre. This installment is no exception. I loved the premise of the predictions of how people will die and how this affects how they live their lives afterwards. It was suspenseful and I was along for the ride. I also loved how many pieces were connected without originally seeming to be. Overall, a fun read.

I love a book that can make you think deeply, and that's just what Liane has done here: she made me think. She made me feel something. My goodness. This would be a great book for fans of THE IMMORTALISTS and THE MEASURE!

I usually really enjoy Liane Moriarty’s books and this one did not disappoint! The author has a way of pulling you into the character’s lives and keeping you there until the entire story has been told.

Here One Moment
Liane Moriarty
God gives us a certain amount of time to use for His Glory. Acts 13:22
We are each allotted an amount of time, not a measure more or a measure less.
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, Making the most of every opportunity…Ephesians 5:15-16a
Here One Moment asks a question: What would you do differently if you knew the exact time of your death?
A woman boards a plane along with the other passengers. The flight is delayed. The woman stands up, counts to three and goes into a trance like state. She begins to walk down the aisle and point to each passenger and predict the age they will die and the cause of their death. Her predictions were frightening for some, terrifying for others.
Allegra Patel was told she would die on her 28th birthday at her own hand. Paula Binici, mother of Tim, will live to be 100 but Tim would drown at age 7. Leo, a civil engineer, will die in a work-related accident in November. Sue O’Sullivan was told she had a few years left and then she would die of pancreatic cancer, but her husband Max would live well into his 90s. Ethan Change was told he would die from the assault of his roommate’s boyfriend, after his next birthday. Dom was told he would live to be 100 but his new bride would be murdered by Dom.
Nonsense, no one can predict the death of someone. Or can they? The woman that made the predictions was Cherry the daughter of Madame M, a famous Clairvoyant. Could she have the power to see into the future? Could she see the deaths and causes?
The former passengers became nervous when three people die when and how Cherry predicted. Should the former passengers make changes in their lives to try to avoid death? What if Paula teaches her son, Tim, to swim before his 7th birthday? What if Leo quits his job? Should Allegra seek counseling? Can we beat death?
This is a fascinating look at life, death and how we deal with it. This book will have us all questioning life. Are our days numbered? Or do our choices make a difference?
Thank you NetGalley for providing a copy of this book for review.

Actually a 4.5. I greatly enjoyed this novel by Liane Moriarty. Interesting characters and a thought provoking plot kept me reading.

I am a huge fan of Lianne Moriarty and her latest novel does not disappoint, it may be even her best one yet. Cherry Lockwood, the middle aged daughter of a fortune teller boards a plane. In the middle of the flight she stands up and begins to pace the cabin pointing at each passenger telling them of what they will die of and at what age. Many laugh it off, many are horrified and frightened, after all is this crazy woman a psychic with special abilities? They all disembark and go their own ways. However a few days later one of Cherry's predictions comes true, and then another, and another. The people she has made predictions about are desperate for answers and each begins to change and modify their lives in order to avoid an untimely death, just in case it's true. What I love about Moriarty's writing is that she infuses humor and humanity into all her characters and treats them like friends she truly cares about. She makes me care about all of them as well. This book explores a lot of concepts, life, death, karma and the human experience. I just loved it, couldn't put it down and can't recommend it highly enough. Supremely entertaining. Thank you Ms, Moriarty for another excellent story. 5 solid stars.
