Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this arc.

Would you want to know when and how you were going to die? On a flight, Cherry tells other passengers on the flight exactly that. The POV shifts between Cherry’s story and that of some of the passengers. This was my first read of Liane Moriarty and I am ready to dive into the rest of her catalogue!

On a flight from Hobart to Sydney mid flight a woman, Cherry, proceeds to walk down the aisle and tell her fellow travelers how and at a what age they will die. When it seems like a couple of her predictions have come true, we see the results her predictions have on the lives of those people. The chapters alternate between telling Cherry’s story and that of her fellow passengers. Would you want to know how and when you were going to die? Would it change your behavior maybe in a positive or negative way? Would it change your relationships? Would it change your outlook on life? Liane Moriarty’s novel causes the reader to ponder this questions on a personal level. An interesting and thought provoking read.

Let me start by saying that Liane Moriarity is an auto buy author for me. So, when I was offered an ARC of this book, I had high hopes & expectations. And Moriarty did it once again!! The premise of this story is very unique & I could not get enough. Here One Moment is a book I will think about for a long time. After all, if you knew how long you would live, what would you do differently? A superb read!!

Thank you NetGalley & Crown Publishing for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is great read. The characters were engaging and I couldn't put the book down. I would recommend this book for a book club or a friend.

I really like Liane Moriarty’s books so I wasn’t the least bit surprised when I couldn’t put this one down. It is certainly one of my favourites of her books!

The book revolves around an incident on a plane where a woman walks the length of the plane telling people how they’ll die and at what age. The rest of the book follows half a dozen people who fight with themselves on whether or not to believe the prediction and what they can or cannot do about it. While it alternates between the passengers it also goes to the woman who made the predictions and explains her life before the event on the plane.

It is engrossing, creative, and addictive. I highly recommend this book.

Thank you NetGalley and Crown Publishing Group for sending this book for review consideration.
Here One Moment is about a woman who gets on a plane and tells each passenger how and when they will die. The story then follows several passengers as they deal with the weight of the woman’s predictions. Told from multiple points of view, including from the “death lady”, as she becomes known.
The plot moves quickly, and coincidences happen that make the reader think there’s no way this is realistic, until Moriarty makes them possible.
This is a book that touches on that basic human question of fate vs. free will. As a philosophy nerd I was in heaven. I can see book clubs reading this book for years to come.

This book was unexpected! From the start, individuals are waiting for a plane to depart. In typical fashion, the plane is delayed.. Then delayed again. Each chapter gives a different perspective of the various characters who are intertwined by an incident. A woman somberly and abruptly alters their lives.. Leaving them to question and doubt what they believe is true. The woman delivers the cause and age of their death. Following the arrival to the airport and the next few years, the characters reach out to each other via the internet to check in to see if her predictions were true. The characters are doubting what they know and are unsure if their prediction will become their reality. This was an interesting read to see how the characters and their families navigated the information the “Death Lady” deemed for their future. An unreliable narrator will hook readers from the start!

Cherry Lockwood is a fairly average person who doesn't stand out to anyone. She loves math and order, it seems. She finds herself on an ordinary short domestic flight when suddenly she begins predicting the cause of death and age of death of her fellow passengers. While many are normal as-expected deaths, some are shocking and fairly young. When, shortly after the flight, a young passenger dies just as predicted, the stress and anxiety ramp up for the other passengers. This story is told from multiple perspectives, alternating between Cherry's perspective and that of different passengers on the flight. I like how Cherry's story and life slowly come out, and you learn why she was on the flight and where she came from. And I enjoyed the insight into how each passenger processed their foretold future. And while the story seems a little fantastical, it's rooted in our humanity and human nature. Ultimately, it makes you think, as it did for the passengers of the flight, how would you live if you knew when and how you would die?

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this free advanced copy of Here One Moment to read and review.

Liane Moriarty has a way of lightly guiding you towards an ending you maybe didn't predict, but still feels so satisfactory for the story. She's done it again with a book that seems to be about a perplexing central mystery, but ends up being about the people touched by it more than anything else. I finished it with tears in my eyes and an immediate resolve to look around me and appreciate the little things more. Life is in the small moments.

Do you believe that how your life plays out is predetermined or can you make choices to affect the future?

In this book there is a plane flying from Hobart to Sydney. During the flight, a psychic walks down the aisle of the airplane, stops at every passenger and tells them their expected age of death and cause of death. No one seems able to get through to her or able to stop her determined walk. At the end of the flight, the psychic has no memory of what has happened and the passengers leave.

What would you do with the information given? And do you even believe in it? Can you make any changes to "escape" your fate, assuming that it even is real? Who is this psychic anyway?

It was a very enjoyable read. I particularly enjoyed reading about the psychic's background. And then it was fun to follow some of the passengers and see what choices they made with the information given.

Thanks to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Why does Liane Moriarty's writing always feel like a hug from your mom? Holy smokes, I can't put her books down and this one was no exception.

When an Australian plane is delayed and a nondescript older lady gets up and begins telling passengers how they will die and at what age she is met with mixed reactions. Some are bewildered, some entertained and some are fearful but months later when Cherry's predictions begin coming true lives are forever changed in this profound and moving book.

I will be thinking about this one for a long time!

Thank you to Ms. Moriarty and Crown Publishing for gifting me a copy. It is my pleasure to write an honest review.

Thank you so much to Liane Moriarty and Crown Publishing for the advance reader's copy, I was absolutely thrilled to receive it. I thoroughly enjoyed the read and Moriarty skillfully brought us into the world of each individual character's storyline. About halfway through I finally realized this was NOT a thriller or mystery, but more of a philosophical read. Still very enjoyable, but I do think readers will be underwhelmed if they go into it expecting an intricate murder mystery.

When I started this book, I was not prepared for the emotional roller coaster that Liane Moriarty was about to put me through.

The book opens on a fateful airplane ride where The Death Lady is making unwanted predictions. Throughout the book we hear more about her story along with stories of other passengers from the flight. This book ultimately explores fate and free will in a beautiful balance and encourages readers to delve deeper into their own lives.

An intriguing book that left me crying for all good reasons. Beautifully crafted.

I'm a huge fan of Liane Moriarty! Here One Moment opens on a delayed flight where emotions run high and suddenly a small, strange woman starts telling everyone that they are all going to die! Sounds like the TV series "Lost" but of course it's not... it is the starting off point for many different story lines that delve into our collective biggest fear of death. I loved it! Bravo!! I hope this one makes it to the big screen too! I would give it 100 stars if I could.

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty is a compelling novel that explores fate and free will through the extraordinary events of a seemingly ordinary flight. When a mysterious woman predicts the exact times and causes of death for several passengers, their lives are irrevocably changed as the predictions start coming true. The novel delves into the characters' struggles to defy their fates, raising profound questions about destiny, control, and the human condition. With rich character development, emotional depth, and a blend of mystical and philosophical elements, Moriarty crafts a thought-provoking and gripping narrative that challenges readers to reflect on their own lives and choices.

I really wanted to like this book. I have heard great things about all the books by Liane Moriarty. This is the 2nd book of hers I’ve tried to read. I’ll be honest this was a DNF (did not finish) for me. It was like the author didn’t know what she wanted this book to be. It was way too confusing, and almost like she was trying to make multiple books into one and none of them go together.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for this ARC!

The Death Lady Cherry makes her appearance on an Australian plane flight, mysteriously pronouncing an expected cause of death and age at death for dozens of her fellow passengers. Imagine the anxiety and apprehension which would result. Liane Moriarty explores this fascinating premise, and follows not only each person's subsequent reaction, but gives a surprising twist to Cherry's reason for these predictions. Fascinating!

Lianne Moriarty is one of my favorite authors! I was so excited for another book release from her! One women predicting the deaths of a whole plane, this, I wanted to read! Unfortunately, this book left me wanting more! It was more a story about the life of the "death lady" and not really about the mysterious death predictions and how they played out. I also found the book a little difficult to read as the chapters bounce around from different peoples perspectives. It would have been easier to follow if she titled the chapters by the characters name so we knew who we were reading right away. It wasn't a a terrible book, it just wasn't what I expect and crave when reading Lianne.

I confess I found myself a tad disappointed with this one. I absolutely love Liane Moriarty but this story didn't quite capture me. I did find the flashbacks to be interesting and the overall way everyone could change their fate was nice.

Liane Moriarty, author of Here One Moment, does not disappoint. She has another winner in this one. I was drawn in from the first pages as she described the passengers on an airline flight in Australia. One passenger, who was a nondescript older lady, stood out from all the rest simply because she was so forgettable. Until she wasn't--walking through the plane, stopping at each row to announce disturbing news to each of them. The rest of the book follows select passengers as they deal with the fallout from this incident. A unique plot and sympathetic, well-developed characters make this title a must-read.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this ARC.
