I found that I was most drawn to the first-person narrative of
It was probably the largest cast of characters she's had in any of her books, and I think they suffered slightly as she didn't have time to explore all of them to their full potential. The ending of the novel, and the big twist, didn't feel entirely earned.

Here One Moment explores how people react when faced with the realization that everyone’s time on earth is limited. An elderly woman enters a trance-like state on a flight and, unprompted, predicts age and manner of death for passengers. When a few of her predictions appear to come true, a frenzy ensues. Some characters attempt to change their fate, some sit in worry, some are content in the “knowledge” that they’ll live long lives and die of old age. In the end, Cherry’s predictions are revealed to be nothing more than guesses.
The story is told with dual timelines: one covering Cherry’s life and the other the lives of plane passengers after the flight. I enjoyed Moriarty’s writing, but the plot progressed slowly and the book felt too long for the story it told. I enjoyed the questions she explored and the content made me think a bit.
I’d recommend it!
