9.10.2024 - Here One Moment

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by a favorite author, Liane Moriarty.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 5 stars!

It’s supposed to be an ordinary, short flight.  But there’s a delay and the passengers are getting anxious.  But that’s just the beginning.  Because one person on the flight starts telling the passengers how and when they will die.  The passengers are frightened but most are disbelieving.  Then a few months later, one passenger on the flight dies exactly as the woman had predicted.  Then two more.  

 

This story pulled me in from the very beginning.  I loved the way it was written, starting with the author lulling us into feeling like we were watching all the passengers on the plane, describing everything.  Then the chapters are split between learning the “death lady,” Cherry’s backstory, as well as focusing on a handful of passengers and how they were affected by the prediction.  It’s a long book, but I couldn’t put it down.  I felt anxious, scared, hopeful, and just loved how all the pieces of the many puzzles started falling into place.  It makes you think about what you would do if you knew how much time you had left.  Moriarty has done it again – a must-read book that will have you thinking about fate and destiny.
