Liane Moriarty

4.04 AVERAGE


⭐4.5 Stars

I loved this story! So full of interesting characters with fascinating stories, I loved following the direction their lives went after the shared odd experience of having their cause and date of death predicted on a flight!
I also loved the story of the woman who predicted - I really loved that. Another very enjoyable experiencing reading Liane Moriarty.

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty has a killer premise: A woman on a delayed flight predicts the age and cause of death of the other passengers. They’re quick to dismiss her, but then, her predictions begin to come true. Yet another Moriarty masterpiece. Highly recommend!

The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star read for me was the first 100 pages. It felt jumbled and a bit confusing with the flip flopping of narrators and jumping between what was happening in the present and the past for so many characters. Once they were off the plane, the stories became much clearer and the back story of Cherry was really interesting. It was an interesting thought experiment on what you’d do if you knew how you’d die and the concept of overcoming death. The scene where Cherry tries to cancel her husband’s gym membership had be crying and laughing at the same time.

It was an interesting read, I enjoyed the multiple POVs where you could follow several characters throughout the story. Makes you think and feel more positively about people/life in general!
