Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this ARC.
3.5/5 rounding up.
I have never read a Liane Moriarty book so was excited to read it.
This book is about a woman who, on a plane predicts year of death and cause of death. Some get predictions of a long life, others not so much.
The book then goes into the aftermath of these predictions.
It was fascinating and interesting to think about people’s response to hearing they didn’t have long to live.
At times this book felt confusing with rapidly changing POVs (some of this was formatting for the ARC and had nothing to do with the author) but overall I really enjoyed it and the ending I feel like pulled everything together.

A mixture of character and plot-driven, Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty is a propulsive read. I kept turning the pages, wanting to know who the "psychic" was, and how the other characters would react over time. I enjoyed the format of the book - getting the perspective of each character first hand - and understanding the repercussions of the fateful flight.

I was really excited to read this book - the premise is super interesting and I couldn't wait to see how the story played out. Unfortunately, I found following the various characters a bit confusing - perhaps because I was reading an ARC and the formatting is not finalized but I found it hard to figure out which character was being talked about, apart from Cherry who speaks in the first person. For the others, it always took me a paragraph or so to figure out who we were talking about now. I LOVED the premise but didn't feel the different character plot lines were evenly distributed - I was surprised that we read so much of Cherry's backstory (until the ending revealed why we might have) and actually found myself wanting to read more about the other characters - the people on the plane who had received the predictions. I think this would work really well as a TV series - with each episode focussing on one of the characters and a final episode linking them all together. For me this was a great idea but not great execution.

Loved the interconnecting characters all wrapped up in a mystery that was oh so much simpler, but also so much more. Original, immersive, unexpected. The ending made me cry-- in a good way.

This book was incredibly spooky. Liane Moriarty never disappoints! She always has a very specific style of writing that emulates thriller, but doesnt always equal thriller.
