What a great story! Interesting topic for a book that I could see happening in real life! It was very clever how the story wove together at the end. I will highly recommend this book!

I truly loved this book which takes a look at how life might be different if we knew when we might no longer be here. I enjoyed getting to know each character and how their life has been impacted by the possibility of their death. This one will stay with me for quite a while!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This long, fascinating saga is a mind-bending mystery with mystical, dramatic, and philosophical elements. It delivers a powerful message, advising readers to live their lives fully in their limited time, defying the odds and beating the reaper by challenging statistical consequences.
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.
Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for a copy of the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty was excellent! I had been waiting for her next book to come out and this one didn’t disappoint!

Review to come closer to publication date. Will be posted on my Goodreads account (http://www.goodreads.com/_the_anxious_reader) on August 12th to generate buzz before the release date in September.

I have heard some really good reviews for this book. Unfortunately for me it fell very flat. I found it very confusing to keep track of who was who. Cherry’s story seemed to drag a bit. It was not something I find myself wanting to discuss with others. Yes the premise of knowing when you are going to die seems interesting enough the book was not

Loved this story. Very unique. Kept me on my toes. Liane Moriarty is an amazing author. Definitely recommend this one!

I found this book very intriguing. If you knew how and when you were going to die, would you live life differently? Would you make different choices? Would you take chances you normally wouldn't take? What an interesting concept to think about! I think all of us can honestly answer yes, we would. We would do all of that and more with the time we had left!
I have never read a book by Liane Moriarty, but I would definitely read another! I enjoyed the writing style, the short chapters, and the brief emotional moments. Nothing felt too overdone or underdeveloped. I did have trouble keeping track of all the characters at times, but that is just a personal issue. The chapter would give clues that would remind me who was who and what their story was leading up to that point, so it all worked out fine in the end. I was glad each character had a complete story - nothing was left unsaid.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinions.

A good story. I love Liane’s characters and the excellent connections she draws through her story telling.

Such a good, different book! I love Liane Moriarty’s books and this one is easily one of my favorites. Definitely recommend it. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

Here One Moment is another successful book by Liane Moriarty where the meaning of life is put into perspective. This book keeps you interested and concerned for the life of every character, wondering when their death is inevitably going to come for them or if they will defeat destiny. Each storyline is wrapped up neatly and each connection between characters is a surprise. Highly recommend!

I doubt anyone reads these but I want to give my true opinion. I liked it. Not enough to keep my attention completely but enough that I enjoyed it. My biggest complaint was not titling the chapters with cherrys name or some way to clarify it was her. Yeah we figured out she was every other chapter, but it took a while to catch on and would have been easier with that. Still a good concept and I enjoyed the content.

I just love love love Liane Moriarty. I have read ALL of her books. Now I can't say I've loved them all the same, but each and every one is so unique including Here One Moment. The story started off in a way that sucks you in and then keeps you in suspense needing to know what would happen to each character. Although there are quite a few characters to remember, I did not find it hard to recall who is who once the next chapter started. I also liked how this ended. It felt real. It felt as if the author was speaking to me, imparting her wisdom. I realize this book is fiction but I would like to think that this story reflects on the author's thought process because I really resonated with her beliefs about the world. Needless to say, I really enjoyed this book and cannot say enough good things about it. I highly recommend this one.

"If you knew your future, would you try to fight fate?” It was an ordinary day and an ordinary domestic flight in Australia - until it wasn’t.

After the flight to Sydney had taken off a mysterious woman rises from her seat and begins speaking with each of her fellow passengers. Before she speaks, she points directly at each person, she then proceeds to tell each passenger how old they will be when they die and what will be the cause of their death. When the plane lands, all passengers and crew will safely depart; yet everyone aboard will be forever changed.

Throughout the book we learn about the passengers aboard, of the predictions each received, and how those predictions relate to his or her present life, age, etc. We also meet the woman “Cherry" who made these predictions, now nicknamed “The Death Lady”. There is nothing atypical about her, in fact, no one especially noticed her as she boarded. We learn about her life and her backstory as the book progresses.

The book is interesting and fun. A book of what ifs, and information on statistical possibilities (If a penny lands on heads after a toss, 3 times in a row, what is the probability of getting heads on the 4th toss?) Do these people believe the predictions they received? Should they believe them? "Your rational mind says, Nonsense! Your subconscious says, What if it’s true?” The narrators alternate between various passengers on the plane and Cherry, the Death Lady. A family saga that questions a lot of what we think we know is true. How much do we have control over our own lives? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I always enjoy Liane Moriarty books and this one does not disappoint.

Thank you to #CrownPublishing #LianeMoriarty #NetGalley for a free Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of Here One Moment in exchange for a fair and hones review. Publication Date: September 10, 2024.

I gave this book 4 stars. I have not read a Liane Moriarty book in a while and this one did not disappoint. The plot was so original and the twists kept coming!

It started out with very many characters who each had a personal story to learn. The main character told the story of each of them that you will be able to separate them. I liked reading it but it was exhausting and needed to take breaks! This will be a great book to read in a book club and will probably end up being a mini series. Recommend.

Very unique premise! Will be great for book clubs. This book will start many conversations; on death, dying, do you want to know when you will die and how; do you believe in psychics; and the list goes on!

Liane Moriarty writes quirky, intriguing books, and I have loved most of them, but I'm afraid this one was a miss for me. The beginning was captivating -- but as it went on, the story began to drag. It's too long and there are too many POV characters who are rather dull, uninteresting people. The prose, as always, is vivid and engaging, but the characters lost me.

While not as attention demanding as some of Moriarty’s other books, this one puts a whole new focus on her stories. The chapters move back and forth between an older woman and a large number of her fellow passengers on a plane. This gives a wide range of interactions, but they blend nicely through their experiences, both actual and expected. I think the popularity of Moriarty’s fiction will drive demand for this title, and readers will not put it down until they finish it.

Thank you @netgalley for the ARC of Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty. This book was different than her others because it was more drama than thriller, but it was one of my favorites. I wasn’t sure at first because is it is a bit macabre since it is about death, but the stories of the characters were deep and made the book. In her typical writing style, Moriarty peppers the story with bits of the back story of each character and their current story giving them depth. The book starts with a forgettable woman standing up on a plane and telling each passenger when and how they will die. Through the story, Moriarty brings her to life and gives her a personality and explains why she did what she did. The book makes you think about how you are living your life and what you would do differently if you knew when you would die.
