I'm a huge Liane Moriarty fan and have read all of her books- so I was super excited to get approved for an arc for her newest book!
On a flight an older woman gives death predictions to everyone, with an age of death and a cause of death. Six passengers have deaths predicted in the near future, and the story centers around them.
Would you try to alter fate? Do you beleive in fate or that all actions have subsequent consequences?
I loved the premise of this story. I loved learning more about Cherry (the older woman on the plane). I found there was a few too many main characters and could have done with less perspectives.
Overall I definitely would say I enjoyed, but it wasn't a book I was rushing to pick up and find what happened.
The writing was top notch, as always.
If you like multiple POV's you will love this.
My overall rating is 3.5.
Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for the chance to read this early.
It releases on September 10.

Liane Moriarty just gets better and better. She is a master at creating characters who are so relatable and interesting, while also building suspense that makes her books unputdownable.

Thank you to Net Galley and Crown Publishing for the ARC. This was so good. At first I did not expect it to be so good because the vibe is quite different from Liane Moriarty's other books plus the beginning is a bit slow even though the writing is really good. I love how distinct each POV felt, it was easy to keep track of all the characters from the very beginning itself. I also enjoyed reading each of the POVs and seeing how their stories intersected. This also ended up really heartwarming and emotionally very touching. Also the South Asian rep was so good, it felt so natural and I loved the dynamic between Allegra and her parents. All the characters were really moving, I enjoyed each of the POVs and their journeys.

Lots of characters and moving parts for all! Was it magic, a trick, real or imagined it’s a slow read to figure it out.

Most of Liane Moriarty’s book I get soon after publication this one could wait for a library copy and a long weekend.

I'm a huge Liane Moriarty fan, and this book didn't disappoint. She has such a talent for making the reader emotionally connect to her characters...even when there are literally a dozen main characters like in Here One Moment. It was a bit longer than it needed to be, but still absolutely worth the read.

Thank you Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have been in a reading slump for the past couple weeks. I started this book and was filled with dread when one of the predictions for death was a child at seven years old. One of my hard limits is bad things happening to children. It breaks my heart, and I can’t stomach it. I debated for a long time whether to DNF for my own beliefs. But I pushed through, and this book has gotten me out of my reading slump.

It is truly a captivating read that leaves the reader on the edge of their seat. With multiple main characters all at different stages of life trying to grasp their own mortality. And whether they can rewrite their fate.

Also it leaves the reader with many hard nuggets to evaluate their own beliefs and mortality. Evaluating my own dreams and what I would do if I was given 6 months or 3 years to live.

The magical realism is a great element as the reader is trying to figure out if it is all a strange coincidence or if there is a true gift. I was captivated trying to decipher if it was true or not.

This story will resonate with me for months after, and I highly encourage you to read this book.

I struggled hard at the beginning of Here One Moment. Liane Moriarty knows how to pull you in to keep reading without revealing too much. I found it almost unbearable at the start. I just wanted to jump into the story and not spend chapters about the description of a lady on the plane.

Once the characters were revealed and the plot finally moving forward, I really really enjoyed it. I loved getting to know each character and their response to their prediction on their age and cause of death. The backstory of The Death Lady was so interesting to read about and you really feel for her and the tragedies in her life.

*Side note/trigger warning: there was an early death predictor of a baby on the plane. I wasn't a fan of using a possible child's death as a reason to keep reading. I ended up skipping to the epilogue to spoil myself on what happened with the character. I found it was easier to spoil myself then wondering the whole book if a child was going to die.

Thank you to Netgallery and Crown Publishing | Crown for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

In a way I don’t even know what I just read except I didn’t care for it. I usually love this authors works but this didn’t do it for me. Odd and weirdly written and it just missed me entirely. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this copy for read and review

⭐️: 4/5

I’ve enjoyed every Liane Moriarty book I’ve read, but usually they take me a bit to hook me in and make me care about the story, and from that point on I’m immersed and can’t stop until I’m done. This one was honestly a bit of the reverse. I was hooked pretty much from the beginning in this one, since it switches POVs and stories so much, and I was eager to see where each of the stories was going.

I found that it got a little slower as it went on though, and began to feel like it was a bit more drawn out than it may have needed to be. Each of the storylines we follow was interesting, but I almost feel like if it were cut down by one, it may have been a better book. Cherry’s POV, which was interspersed every other chapter, was sometimes great and sometimes annoying to have to get to, before getting back to a mini cliffhanger in another storyline.

Towards the end of the book, I started to get that Love, Actually vibe of intersecting storylines when they once felt so separate, and this little game of connections helped push through some of the long-windedness. The short chapters made it easier to get through when it started to feel like it was going on for too long, and the ending was worth the journey to get there.

Thank you to @netgalley and @crownpublishing for this free eARC for my review!!

Liane Moriarty is such a versatile author and Here One Moment really took that to the next level for me. The plot and style had vague John Marrs' vibes for me which I loved - a unique plot that was unreal without being unbelievable, lots of characters, and several viewpoints. It could be challenging keeping them all straight but I did think each one added a nice element to the story. I also appreciated that they weren't really in order, so you never knew where the story was going next.

Cherry was such a complex and interesting character. I liked that her chapters varied in length and detail, often flashed back, and gave us such a well-round picture of her.

I also really liked how the death predictions spiraled. It felt realistic that only a handful of people would take them seriously and also that those handful might let it impact their lives so significantly. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop with so many of the characters and I felt my anxiety rising toward the end of each chapter as I feared their death got nearer.

We've all read stories where someone learns of their fate but this one still felt very unique. The execution was totally different and I really couldn't decide what to believe which made it fun. If you need a pretty bow tied at the end of a novel, this might not be the best book for you. But if you want your reading experience to open your mind and make you think, I can't recommend enough.

This novel is long - over 500 pages in fact - however, it didn't really feel that way for me. Particularly around 65% I was absolutely hooked and binged the rest in a single sitting.

Liane Moriarty is an auto-read author for me and Here One Moment didn't disappoint though it felt completely different from all her other books I've read thus far. So excited to see what she comes up with next!

Thank you to Crown and NetGalley for the advanced copy.

What a story from Liane Moriarty! The use of a character predicting the deaths (from causes to dates) of the many characters in the story was fresh and unique but also very confusing to follow at times. I felt this was more a collection of stories about people rather than a cohesive novel.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC!

I liked it. Following a group of individuals, who believe that they’d had their death date and circumstances foretold by another passenger, makes for an interesting read. They all react differently to the possibility of knowing how and when they were to die. It’s not a quick read, with more than 400 pages and a lot of characters to keep track of but it’s well written. It makes you think……… what would you do with that information?
Thank You to NetGalley, Crown Publishing, and Liane Moriarty for the opportunity to enjoy this ARC.

Unfortunately I didn’t like anything about this story.. too many characters, nothing was coming together for me. Many of her other stories have been great, but this did not hit for me

Wow this might be the best book I’ve ever read by Liane Moriarty. The whole idea of the book is so unique and gripping from the very start.
A woman on a plane makes predictions of cause and age of death for a multitude of passengers. When the predictions start becoming true it gets crazy for all the other passengers especially those with their age of death fast approaching. We follow several passengers through their journey after the plane trip and how their lives change because of the death prediction. We also learn more about “The Death Lady” and how she came to be predicting deaths on the plane.

I highly recommend this book to all. It’s a powerful book and leaves you pondering about your own life.

After an incredibly long flight delay, the passengers on a short flight are ready to get to their destination. Once in the air, they don't encounter turbulence, but a passenger who walks through the entire plane predicting the age and how they will die. While some with shorter life predictions are upset, most everyone is slightly frustrated but soon moves on once they deplane.

Until several months later and one of the predictions from "The Death Lady" comes true. Now everyone, especially those who has deaths predicted soon, are paying attention. Can they change their lives to outsmart the predictions?

I loved this read! While a longer book, it had multiple points of view from 5 passengers and the elderly "Death Lady" that kept me engrossed from beginning to end. Thank you NetGally and Crown Publishing for providing me a e-book copy to read in advance!

This was such a wild ride of a book, I enjoyed it so much! Each character’s storyline was so well done and I loved Cherry’s story- even if it started out tumultuous! Truly a book that makes you think about what you would do if you were told your cause and age of death. It’s one of those books that just makes you think and connects humans in strange ways, truly enjoyed it!

TL;DR: I’m going to be a little controversial here…I’m not generally a bit fan of Liane Moriarty’s books. In the wake of the success of BIG LITTLE LIES, I joined the collective book community in devouring the rest of the author’s backlist, and save for THE HUSBAND’S SECRET, I struggled with the other titles (don’t even get me started on the ending to APPLES NEVER FALL). That being said, Moriarty continues to dominate as one of the most high-profile authors working today, and I was pleasantly surprised by her latest, HERE ONE MOMENT, which may end up being one of my favorites by the author. The book is a 512-page sprawling multi-POV character story with a fantastic set-up: the passengers of a commercial aircraft are forever connected when a woman on the plane shockingly begins pointing at each person onboard, telling them how they are going to die and at what age. The first 150 pages of the book are basically this inciting incident and intros to several of the passengers who are confronted and then come to realize the unhinged woman on the plane may in fact have a talent for predicting the future when her prophecies start to come true. Yes, the book does meander a bit (and I wish the characters were more interconnected), but overall this was a really fun read. It’s soapy and twisty, and explores themes of grief and destiny and our ability to control our lives in really interesting ways. It’s definitely worth checking out when the book hits shelves on SEPTEMBER 10th. Thanks to my friends at @crownpublishing for the advanced copy.

I was really excited to start this one and I felt like I was immediately pulled into the story.
However, about a fifth of the way through the novel, I found myself wanting more than just random passenger stories. The novel felt aimless without a central story arc. It wasn’t until about halfway through the book, once some deaths started happening as predicted, that it became more compelling. However, reading about the passengers’ reactions to their predicaments was depressing.

I set the book down to get a break and just couldn't pick it back up. Therefore I didn't end up finishing it.

Here One Moment quickly became one of my favorite reads this year. The plot centering around a clairvoyant woman predicting death causes and death dates to passengers on a plane is wholly unique. I quickly became invested in every storyline and the outcome for each character. This was a beautifully crafted, complex, and ultimately life-affirming novel.

This story is about life, death, risk and choosing to make the moments count. It illustrates that the actions of others have ripple effects. While the book revolves around lot of different and interesting characters, it is easy to follow and a very entertaining read. Cherry (the main character) was wonderfully developed. I loved it and it has risen to my favorite by this author. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital advanced reading copy. 5/5!
