I overall loved this book but there was SO. MUCH. FLUFF. So much information that didn’t matter and lacking information that I wanted. I loved the premise, loved the characters, loved the way it wrapped up a storyline, but it isn’t wrap the whole thing up. And a lot of it was unnecessary.

I was enthralled from the first page of this novel to the last and glad I got to read it thru NetGalley. If you have read the authors previous books you know you are in for a thrilling ride when you start one of her books. I can definitely see this being a best seller when published and series on tv in the future

Wow, what an incredible novel! Liane Moriarty's latest novel "Here One Moment" truly knocked it out of the park! Liane Moriarty's ability to weave intricate plots and develop compelling characters is truly unparalleled, and “Here One Moment” showcases her incredible storytelling skills. This 5-star novel had me reflecting on so many things on so many levels! I have been an avid fan of Liane's for years, so I went into "Here One Moment" completely blind, and I'm so glad I did! As usual, I was completely blown away, and this gem is most definitely one of my top reads for this year! I highly recommend this for your next book club selection - sure to spark deep, dynamic discissions!

The concept of “Here One Moment” is definitely one to make you think deeply, and if I think too hard on what I would do in that situation I get a sense of unnerving, so it’s safe to say this was an interesting read!

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.

The story is told from multiple POV giving us insight to each passenger. The story maintains good pacing throughout and leaves you in suspense as they race to figure out what is happening.

I enjoyed the alternate chapters and the underlying themes of what we would do if we knew our time was limited and how we can make the most of our time and value each day we are given.

Thank you to Liane Moriarty, Crown Publishing and NetGalley for the EARC!

Liane is a great author. I was so excited to read her new book. Like her others, this was a great book!!

I have read several of liane moriarty’s books and usually enjoy them but this was too long and just not interesting at all. I was waiting to some great twist that never happened. Was pretty predictable and disappointing

Thank you, Crown Publishing and NetGalley, for the advanced copy of *Here One Moment*! This book is an emotional journey that brings back the essence of her earlier works. The characters and their interconnected stories, linked by a woman on the same flight, are captivating. I couldn’t put it down (without giving too much away). You will thoroughly enjoy this book! Let it take you on an unforgettable adventure!

This story begins when a woman predicts the age of death and cause of death for many people who are all traveling on the same flight. From there the story is told from multiple perspectives, telling the stories of those who had their fate predicted and also flashing back to the so-called psychic, Cherry’s, young life. The themes in this book are a vivid reminder to live each day to the fullest and me grateful for OGT(one good thing) each day. Each time I put this book down, I couldn’t wait to pick it back up again. I absolutely loved the ending and I think the last few chapters were my favorite!

This is one of Liane Moriarty's best books! I could not put it down. Imagine being on a flight and a woman walking down the aisle gives predictions about when each passenger on the flight would die. This was a fascinating premise and a winner in my eyes.

Thank you, NetGalley, for an advanced copy of this book!

This book tugged on every single one of my anxieties, to be honestly I should have put it down quite a few times. But I couldn’t. It hooked me. And in the end I’m glad I read it.

Truly torn between the four and five star rating. While this felt very surface (albeit, very fun!) at the beginning, the story evolves into a beautiful, interwoven tale of lives all affected by one fateful moment. You can always rely on Moriarty for an escape that is well-written and thoughtful. This one really made me think and reflect! For fans of The Measure. Thank you to Moriarty, Crown Publishing, and NetGalley for the ARC!

Passengers board a typical short flight that experiences some delays. No one is happy about the delays and tensions are high when suddenly a woman rises from her seats and predicts everyone’s age of death and cause of death. When the flight finally takes off and lands at their destination, no one is the same as they were before the flight. And the lady predicting the deaths? Who is she?

Thank you, Crown Publishing and Liane Moriarty, for gifting me an ebook copy of this novel in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts here are mine.

I was really unsure about what this book was going to be about, but I can tell you that I greatly enjoyed reading it! On The StoryGraph and Goodreads, the genre is listed as thriller, but I consider this book contemporary fiction. There is an air of mystery, but thriller is the wrong term.

An aspect of this book that I really liked was the multiple point-of-views. There were several characters that were followed and I was fully invested in each of their lives. I definitely recommend this to everyone as I can see it becoming a must-read. The themes and heavy topics discussed in this book, such as grief, life, and death, are part of reality and important for people to read and give thought to.

For me, Liane Moriarty does it again! The plot reminds me of “The Measure” in that the characters learn when (and in Moriarty’s case also how) they will die, but I much prefer Moriarty’s spin on it. The middle did lag a bit for me and it felt like Cherry’s chapters happened too frequently, but in the end I did appreciate getting more insight into her character.

Having read (and loved) this author's entire catalog, I had high hopes for this book. As always, Moriarty shines at character development and helping the reader feel like they know the characters and understand their motivations. It's an engaging premise that most can relate to on some level, but I feel like the execution fell a little short. I can't pinpoint what could have been done differently, but can say that there's something missing in the final chapters. 3.5 stars.

Another great read from Liane Moriarty! Would you want to know how and when you would die? Not me! On a short plane ride in Australia, a lady suddenly starts predicting everyone’s cause and age if death. Is the so called death lady’s psychic or is it all bunk? I loved getting to know the cast of characters including Cherry herself! Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the digital ARC!

I really loved Big Little Lies, The Husband's Secret, and What Alice Forgot, but I've found that Liane Moriarty's past few books are just waaaay too long for my taste and could be cut down by ~100-200 pages. While I really enjoyed the premise of Here One Moment, I had the same issue and thought it could've been shorter. I love mysteries on planes (i.e., my love of Lost and Manifest), so I was super excited when I read the description for this book! But the ending fell a little flat for me, and I was way more invested in the chapters focusing around the "dying" characters than those centered around Cherry the psychic death lady.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for sending me this book!

This was intriguing but too unsettling. The scenes on the plane about foretelling passengers' death dates went overboard and was so drawn out. The concept was hit very quickly and I felt the author was hitting it too hard to be interesting, more annoying. I didn't like any of the characters and the entire book was a wash for me.

Thank you to Crown Publishing for the advanced copy of this book.

Wow. This was a story. I could have finished it quickly, but decided not to. I didn’t want it to end. I’m still thinking about all of the characters.

Moriarty did a good job vividly capturing the details of each of their lives.

On the surface, the premise seems silly: A woman aboard a flight walks down the center aisle predicting the age and cause of death for each passenger on board. But once I started reading, I realized that the “psychic on a plane,” isn’t a bit. Instead, it’s a cleverly disguised device that compels us to take stock of the people around us, the ways in which our lives intersect with one another, and the roles that those intersections play in our present and future selves.

Moriarty leaves you knowing that all of us, whether we are on a plane, or standing in the line at the grocery store, or honking our horn at the car in front of us because they didn’t floor it at a newly-turned green light. All of us are trying to cope with the idea that one day, maybe tomorrow, or tonight, or in the next three minutes, we will die. And knowing this is only made worse by the fact, that we never know when it’s coming.

How would you live differently if you knew your age of death and cause of death? I was intrigued by the premise of this book, and the themes of fate, free will, and how one seemingly insignificant event can drastically change the trajectory of one's life. It reminded me of The Measure, though I might prefer this one slightly since I enjoyed the author's writing style and humor, particularly with lines like "He's been in a permanent state of embarrassment since he was five."

I enjoyed following each of the six passengers: Leo, Ethan, Paula, Sue, Eve, and Allegra as they received ominous premonitions from Cherry and dealt with the aftermath. However, I wish there had been more focus on the passengers instead of on Cherry's life. Getting to know how Cherry ended up predicting deaths on a flight was somewhat interesting, but her chapters weren't very engaging and didn't add much to the story.

I was rather let down when it was revealed that Cherry had a mental health crisis on the flight while grieving her husband and closest friends and her predictions didn't have any merit apart from statistics she may have picked up from working as an actuary. I'm not exactly sure what kind of ending I was hoping for, but it left me wanting more.

This book definitely kept my attention! What an interesting plot line. It was unlike anything I’ve read before. I wanted to know more with every chapter. I’d definitely read this again!
