Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty (available September 10th)

Thanks to Crown, we have TWO copies to give away!

Melissa loved this novel and will be reviewing it soon. Check out her Bookstagram post in the meantime.


Synopsis:
If you knew your future, would you try to fight fate?

Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed.
 
Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.
 
How do they know this? There were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight (the bride and groom, the jittery, possibly famous woman, the giant Hemsworth-esque guy who looks like an off-duty superhero, the frazzled, gorgeous flight attendant) but none would become as famous as “The Death Lady.”
 
Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn’t exceptionally old or young, rude or polite. She wasn’t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that flight was truly remarkable.
 
A few months later, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die, again, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party.
 
If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny?
 
Liane Moriarty’s Here One Moment is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny, grief and love, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world. A modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery, Moriarty asks profound questions in her newest I-can’t-wait-to-find-out-what-happens novel. (Courtesy of Amazon.)

“Liane Moriarty is a genuine GENIUS. Here One Moment is off-the-scale brilliant.” —Marian Keyes, international bestselling author of Watermelon and Again, Rachel

“A riveting story so wild you don’t know how she’ll land it, and then she does, on a dime.”
—Anne Lamott, #1 New York Times bestselling author

It's been years since I traveled by plane. I don't think I would want to know.

Lisa D said...

The last time I traveled by plane was years ago. I'm not a massive fan of planes and airports (too much waiting around).

Nancy P said...

Last summer I flew to Europe for a month.

Tatum Rangel said...

It's been, at least, two years since I've traveled by plane.

Anita Yancey said...

I would not want to know. I haven't traveled by plane in years.

Mary Patricia Bird said...

Nope. Wouldn't want to know. Was on a plane in January coming home from a vacation in Cuba.

Mary Preston said...

No, I would not want to know. I have not flown in decades.

Anonymous said...

I would not want to know tysm I flew last month!

Linda Kish said...

I am not sure if I would want to know. Maybe. I am going to be 75 in a couple of weeks so it might be nice to know how much time I have left with my family. I have heart disease and am comfortable with my life and know I will die at some point although I would like to live another 20 years or so. I haven't flown for about 25 years now and had a panic attack on my next to last flight (the one where I left for trip). My sister died in a plane crash and I really don't like to fly, I guess.

Deborah Wellenstein said...

I traveled by plane 5 years ago.

Last time I traveled by plane was pre-Covid.
