I absolutely loved Here One Moment, a new favorite of mine from Moriarty. This was a hefty book with a huge cast of characters, but I thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend time with each of them. When a psychic goes into a trance and begins predicting the deaths of passengers on board a flight, everyone seems to shrug it off….until her predictions start coming true. How the people choose to live their lives whilst trying to combat “destiny” had me completely hooked. It was heartwarming, anxiety-provoking, but also humorous at times—a perfect blend that Moriarty has crafted well. I also enjoyed the back story of our psychic. I have seen some complaints that we spend too much time with her, but I truly enjoyed this part of the story. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this digital ARC.

I’m always a fan of Liane Moriarty and this book is another win. I love her ability to create a slow build as a story unfolds. This book follows a big cast of characters and gives the reader a chance to become invested in so many people that it almost reads like a series of short stories expertly wound together. Loved it.

So the passengers on this crazy plane ride didn't have a choice but to listen as this fortune teller walks down the aisle, pointing at each person telling them a nugget of info about their future. It happens early on in the story.
What surprised me is how gullible literally everyone on the flight was to this self assured old lady, who comes to be known as " the Death Lady" on the plane.
What if this happened to you? Some stranger predicts the year of your death and how that death will happen. How would you deal with this treacherous trap?
Would you let fear and worry take over your life? Would you base decisions about your future on this random fortune given to you by a complete stranger? What kept me going through this choppy narrative of many characters, which can be annoying, is that I trusted the author. Liane Moriarty is entertaining in her characterizations and situation comedies that pop up throughout the story. I have read other books by her and have been entertained by her quirky talent for situation comedy.
Let me just share a bit of quirkiness : one woman is told she will die by domestic abuse and the year is soon to come. This petrifies her partner who purchases handcuffs and..... read to find out !
All I'm saying is trust Liane.... this is one bizarre and crazy ride. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because the choppy narrative got on my nerves. I like most of the characters, but not the irresponsible, self-absorbed, Cherry.
When people mess around with fortune telling, they get themselves into all kinds of trouble. We aren't meant to see our future because God prepares us every day for the tough things that will happen down the line in our lives. That being said, human nature being what it is, can I just have a peek?

This book starts with a fantastic setup of many characters on a flight being told how old they’ll be when they die and cause of death by an old woman. Then the story follows these characters after the flight and what happens when her predictions start to come true. The book also details the life of the woman who predicted all of these deaths. This book was soapy and fun and it was one of those books where I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. It explores themes of grief and destiny and inspires readers to live their lives to the fullest. I enjoyed the book and was definitely glued to the page, but in some ways I was reading Cherry’s parts so quickly to find out what was going to happen to the flight characters that I lost out a bit on that story which ended up being the majority of the book. ImIt was definitely a great book and I do recommend!

Liane Moriarty knows how to grip you. She is the queen of weaving together multiple storylines, which is a huge strength of this book. A flight is interrupted by a woman predicting everyone’s age and cause of death, and then follows the fall out. I wanted to keep reading til the end because I was invested in so many characters!

What would you don’t you knew when you were going to die?

A woman enters a plane, no one notices her, she predicts the death of several passengers, no one takes her serious until predictions start to come true

This book got me, makes me think deeper and I enjoyed it. Although I’m not sure I would want to know

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read an early copy.

This is the SEVENTH Liane Moriarty book I've read and I've given the previous six either 4 or 5 stars. I particularly adored What Alice Forgot.

I make my living as a writer, and yet I find I am at a loss for words here...I am not sure how to review this very weird book.

TBH, after reading so many of my friends' reviews, I am almost tempted to plagiarize some of the more spot-on comments--not that I'd ever do that!

OK. Here is my (rather brusque) review: I did not like this book. I found it to be-for lack of a better word--trite. And oh my, but there was just so much DEATH in it (like, OTT too many deaths). And paranoia. And whining. And loss. It was readable, oh yes yes yes. I mean, Ms. Moriarty is a writing goddess, but, but, the story was so flimsy and sad and confusing. There were a lot of POV's and, at times, I had to reread the first few sentences to find out where I was and who I was hearing from.

In the end, I actually didn't even admire Cherry, and I THINK we were supposed to. Plus, I didn't get to know her, the MC, as deeply as I got to know some of the other minor characters. Is that odd? I felt it was odd. The storylines that followed the "victims" were far more potent, although, in the end, I felt that they were mostly unrelatable (not a real word) and unrealistic.

Three stars because, even though I was pretty disappointed in the story, I couldn't stop reading.

An absolutely GLOWING five stars for this one.

It's been a while since I ready any Moriarty and this was exactly what I needed to get out of a small reading slump. Thank you so much to NetGalley for this advanced copy!!

I've enjoyed most of Moriarty's books (with the exception of 9 perfect strangers...it was ok just not my fave) and I forgot just how enjoyable her books are.

She gives us REAL people with REAL thoughts, emotions and observations about life. And she gives us lots of them! Her books are relatable and just funny enough without being over the top.

This one gave us something interesting to think about - would we want to know how and when we die?

I loved how this story unfolded and fell in love with many of the characters introduced. I could see myself or others I know in them and I loved thinking through their actions alongside them.

The ending was utter perfection and left me wiping my eyes and I rarely cry when reading.

This would be an AMAZING book club book and while I read my advanced copy on my kindle I already can't wait to listen to this one again on audio.

FIVE BIG STARS!!!

Liane Moriarty's characters and storylines have gotten less and less engaging with each successive book, and this one was the pits. Great premise, poorly executed. Too many characters to form an attachment to any particular one; each seemed to get the surface treatment and felt me feeling un-invested.

Having been a fan of Liane Moriarty for years, I was thrilled to hear about this title. While the last two she wrote weren't my favorites, this one definitely was a reminder of some of her earlier books. I was intrigued from the first chapter, and continued wondering how each of the characters would end up by the end.

Liane Moriaty is back with another page turning novel Here One Moment. A plane full of people stuck on the tarmac for a few hours, what else could go wrong. During the flight an older lady later dubed The Death Lady has been going passenger by passenger to tell them what they will die from and at what age. Does she really have the ability to foresee the future? When some of her perdictions coming true the passengers start a Facebook account as a platform for disscussion and to find out who The Death Lady really is. By the end of this book almost everyone has a connection with her through other people. This book kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. The question remains can you change your future to avoid your death? Are phyics real and can they actual see the future. I would like to thank both NetGalley and Crown Publishing for letting me read an advanced copy of this book.

Thank you, NetGalley, Crown Publishing and Liane Moriarty.

I actually finished this book over the weekend but needed time to process what I just read. My only thought is "what did I just read?" This book was not what I expected and I had to think about it. I expected more of a psych thriller but found it more thought provoking. I had feelings and thoughts that I was not expecting. It really had me thinking, what would I do if I knew when my death was going to happen and how. Would I become more cautious to the point that I don't end up enjoying life? Or do I just live the best life that I can?

I felt overwhelmed when I saw that this book had over 100 chapters. I do appreciate that they were short chapters and I don't believe there was much fluff in those chapters so the book was manageable. It did take me 2 days of reading but I also read it over a weekend. So glad that I did because it was tough to put down. I had to know what was going to happen to these characters that I've gotten attached to and I was invested in their lives.

I will admit that it took me awhile to get into this book but I think it was because there were so many characters that needed to be introduced in this book. As you can imagine, a plane full passengers means a plane full of different personalities and backgrounds. I think the author did a great job of providing enough information that was needed to not only understand the characters, but to somewhat get attached to them. Now not all of the characters are featured in the chapters after the plane ride which was kind of a disappointment. I would have liked to get to know a couple more a little more.

I will not disclose much about the mystery woman who was predicting the passenger's deaths, since she has her own story in this book. There were times that I didn't like her but then there were times that my heart broke for her. It just goes to show that everyone has a story and we shouldn't judge people on first impressions. At least sometimes.

It was amazing to see how many allowed her predictions to rule their lives and even changed some of their lives. It seemed like she made an impact on many of the characters and their lives. How a stranger could just impact a person with just a few words?! Granted those words weren't positive, but they did get some of them thinking about the lives they were currently living. Would some of them have continued living their lives without her predictions? We just never know how our words will impact others even strangers.

I went back and forth with 5 or 4 starts, so I will say 4 1/2. I just feel that even though the ending was interesting, it was missing something. I won't give it away but I did expect a little bit more. I also think this book could be triggering to some since there is a lot of talk about death and causes of it. I know it triggered me in some ways. So reader be aware!

I love Liane Moriarty but I wasn't sure how I would feel about this one based on the description. But I ended up really liking it and actually wished it followed more characters from the plane. A great beach read!

One of the great things about Liane Moriarty's novels are the short, punchy chapters, some only a paragraph long. Reading them as they rush from one character to another makes the book fly by. This one is an attention grabber as an older woman on a delayed flight stops, points at people in their seats, and issues a statement telling them when they will die and of the cause.

As the story progresses, you realize that alternate chapters are narrated by the fortune teller (later referred to as the Death Lady). The plane lands and almost immediately, one of the predicted death occurs...and we're off. Since this is Moriarity, get ready for a fun ride. She puts you into the mind of each character as they face what may be their endings. The novel is filled with coincidences as some of the characters on the place are connected to others.

This fun to read novel would have been five stars if all the characters were as memorable as Cherry. Unfortunately, I found myself asking "Who was Sue again?" and "wait, was Eve the bride?". But it doesn't matter because the novel is such fun to read. And it leaves you with a warning: Anything can happen, nothing is impossible, so stop and appreciate your life while you're alive.

Thank you, Net Galley, and Penguin Books for the ARC copy to read and review.

Loved! Have been searching for a book like The Immortalists ever since I read it and this was close. The premise of people finding out their death age and cause was super intriguing and loved all the interweaved story lines.

This was my first Liane Moriarty book, and if it is any indication of what her other books are like, it will definitely not be the last.

I don't want to give any spoilers, but I will say a couple of things that I enjoyed. The story is told through several different points of view, but every other chapter comes back to the same character, and her story is told over the whole book. I really liked this story telling method.

I honestly wasn't sure how the ending would play out. That is a rarity for me, and I very much enjoyed the experience.

One thing I wasn't expecting was a book that would deal with grief in such a beautiful way. I don't think I would have been able to read this a couple of years ago (for personal reasons), but I saved a few quotes that really spoke to me personally about the nature of grief.

Overall, I really liked this book. If Goodreads allowed half stars, this would definitely be 4.5 for me.

(Thank you to Netgalley and Crown Publishing for the chance to read this book early in exchange for an honest review.)

I've read a good number of books from this author and this one kept me wanting to read it.

What would you do if you thought you knew how and when you were going to die? Would you try to change your fate? These questions came up a little for me while I was reading this, as a flight from Hobart to Sydney leaves passengers having these same thoughts as another passenger predicts cause and age of deaths for the other passengers on the plane. Does knowing this information change how you would do things in life, or does one small change cause those predictions to come true?

This book had some well written characters, though I felt there were a few ends that needed a little more tied up, but overall, this book was well written and worth the read.

Thank you Netgalley for an ARC of this book.

First off, thank you to Nergalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this ARC! I have been thinking all weekend about what to write about this book and I am still at a loss. I had no idea where this book would go and even at the end I was unsure. It was well written though it took me a while to get into it, and the many characters and jumping around in time was a bit confusing. I don’t want to give anything away but will say this book is probably not what you are expecting based on the description. I enjoyed it and will recommend it!

I loved this title. Liane Moriarty always finds a way to craft the most creative and interesting books throughout the fiction section. And I can just say, this one did not let me down in that sense. It was such a unique concept and thats what I loved about it. There wasn't a dull moment throughout the story and I absolutely flew through it.
This might make my top 3 of Liane Moriarty books, and I am so happy to have a new entry into the list.

Thank you to Netgalley, Laine Moriarty, and the publishing company behind this title for giving me the opportunity to read this book before the release date.

Here One Moment captured my attention from the very beginning. Although it is long, the short, engaging chapters made it a quick read. A fortune teller on a plane tells the passengers their cause and time of death. The book then follows the lives of various passengers, as well as the life of the fortune teller. I enjoyed the multiple plot lines and was truly invested in each character. It was beautifully written and I was sad then it was over.
