I absolutely loved this book. The premise was really clever and the cast of characters were so well written. Absolutely brilliant - I read it in one sitting.

Wow! What an amazing book. It had me gripped from the first instance.

Questioning if fate is pre-ordained or can be changed by your actions.

I was caught up in each of the characters and was devastated to think that death was inevitable for them.

And central to it all was the oracle of doom and her backstory.

I'll be recommending this to anyone who will listen!

This is an incredible book, by an incredible author!
Cherry is an unassuming, mature woman who you would barely notice. Until she stands up on a flight and walks up and down the plane, telling people both their cause of death and age of death.
As these predictions start to come true, the book focuses on some of the characters and their reactions to the predictions they received.
This is a fascinating book and I couldn't stop reading it.

This started off well and I was interested to see what would happen. However, as I carried on reading, I found myself skim reading some of Cherry’s chapters. I found these to be too long and they dragged for me.

I carried on though waiting for something to happen, but it never did really and then I was disappointed by the ending.

This one just wasn’t for me but thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I LOVE Liane Moriarty, she’s an auto-buy author for me and never disappoints. The premise of this book was so intriguing and the story didn’t disappoint!

What would you do if you, and a plane full of passengers, were told by a stranger when you would die and from what? And then over the next few months the predictions started coming true?

I loved the multi-character PoV and it really kept me on edge wondering what would happen to the characters after their predictions. I didn’t look forward to the ‘lady from the plane’s’ sections in the book as much as the other stories at the start, but I really got into it as the book went on.

Another Moriarty classic, get this one on your TBR!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

This book is incredible. I did not want it to end. Superb writing. Excellent plot. Classic Liane Moriarty and for me her best to date. I will take the message from this book to make memories, and live my life to the fullest.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s not my normal genre but I do like her writing and the way the story flows. I like the way the stories intertwined nothing was predictable.

I loved everything about this book. Despite there being multiple narrative, Moriarty gets you invested in each character’s life from the outset. Plane journeys and airports are fascinating as they bring together a range of people from all walks of life and I loved the concept of this used in this intriguing narrative. I couldn’t put this book down.

A very unusual story which had me completely hooked. I found this very interesting and unnerving at the same time. I haven't read this author before but will do in the future. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

The premise of this book intrigued me from the moment I read the synopsis.
On a delayed flight from Hobart to Sydney, midway through the flight, a psychic starts to make her way through the plane, predicting when and how each of the passengers will die.

The book starts with the aforementioned flight, and I was hooked!
For me, though, I did struggle at times after the initial 'incident' as there were so many different characters to follow and remember, and the perspective very quickly shifted from one character back into the life of the psychic - Cherry.
Due to this, I did find myself having to re-read some lines just to get to grips to who the chapter was now following or whether we'd changed back into Cherry's backstory and point of view.

The concept behind this book was brilliant. What would you do if you knew how and when you would die? What would you change? Can fate be fought?

A very thought-provoking book, Liane Moriarty's Here One Moment, will stick with me for a long time.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an Arc of this book via Netgalley.

Thank you to Netgalley for my ARC of this. I really enjoy reading Liane's books usually so I was excited to read this and the cover is just stunning.
However this one just didn't do it for me. I thought it would be suspenseful and gripping when reading that the Death Lady predicts how and when all the passengers on her flight are going to die.
There was too many POV going on and I'm not sure whether it was because it was an ARC or a kindle read but there was no breaks when the next narrator was talking, so it was hard to keep up with who was who and whether it was still the same character to someone new!
There was way too much background story of the Death Lady and I understood at the end why so we could find out why she was on that plane, but there was way too much that didn't really need to be and the predictions and story just seemed a bit pointless? We didn't get chance to connect to the other characters as there was so many and it all felt a bit dragged out.
Could have been shorter and less characters.
Unfortunately this just didn't hit the mark for me.

I loved books by the author, so I jumper at this ARC when I saw it. I was expecting it to be just as humorous as her previous books, so I was surprised by the more serious tone of this book. It is not a bad thing but I just didn’t expect it. It has a strong focus on grief which I liked and has some beautiful quote. Characters that I could really feel for and care about. The final quarter of the book is very strong and I loved the way everything came together. So it has its strength. However I often found myself lost unable to remember who’s who. There are way too many characters in this book. And the book goes through everyone’s backstories in more details than necessary, so it ends up being too long. I think she could’ve narrowed down characters then it could have been 100-150 pages shorter. So I cannot give this a 5 star like I normally give to books by Moriarty. But still a good read!

Fantastic book with great core characters. Recommend to friends for anyone who loves this genre of book!

Liane moriarty books are just so good. Could not put this one down. The pace and the story line were compelling and the characters intrinsically woven. I would recommend this 100%

I’m in two minds about this book. In the plus side, it’s a great plot, very descriptive and has a good back story interweaved. The less positive aspects are this book is way too long. Almost half way through before anything really happened. There’s setting the scene, but this went on far too long. This would be a good beach read and I’d rate it 3.5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley, Michael Joseph Penguin Random House was the author for the chance to review.

Can you outrun your predicted date of death? An elderly lady on a flight forces a group of passengers to reevaluate their lives. Interesting background for Cherry's life. Life is indeed strange and unexpected.

This is the second Liane Moriarty book I've read and what I have discovered is that her books are never what you think they're going to be when you start out. This is a smart, deftly plotted book with moments of real tension that hooks you right from the start. By the time I was half way through I had reimagined the ending in my head several times. Strong characters who you can believe in and who you want to believe in, despite their flaws and complexities. This is a thriller in the truest sense of the word and I ate it up.

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty


Here One Moment and gone the next ( maybe ? )

A brilliant premise for a book , kept me guessing !
Quite a lot of characters to keep in your mind but once you've got them in your head , I really enjoyed it.
Would I want to meet a Cherry ? Not on your life !

It took me a while to get into this book (which surprised me), I found the scene setting on the plane a bit slow. But then I loved it. It starts as a sort of thriller as people try to avoid their death predictions and was incredibly moving and quite philosophical at the end. Initially it was difficult keeping track of all the characters but I soon got to know them. All in all, a brilliant read and definitely recommended.

Really enjoyed this although it took me a little while to get into - definitely worth persevering with and understanding the different characters’ motivations and how they deal with their own prophecies. It’s one of those incredible books that stays with you long after you finish it, and you find yourself ruminating over the various responses and how you would have dealt with the same news.
