Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty
3.0
mysterious reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Thank you Tandem Collective and Crown Publishing for the gifted copy of Here One Moment!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I signed up for this Tandem Readalong because the concept of Here One Moment sounded so good!  A woman on a plane predicts the age and cause of death of every other passenger.  Here One Moment follows a few of the passengers as they deal with this prediction while also diving into the woman's backstory.

This author has been hit or miss for me in the past so I was not surprised that I didn't love this one.  I liked the concept but I felt like this book was overwritten.  It felt like it didn't need to be 500 pages, especially when it took over 100 pages just to get through what is described on the inside flap.  That being said, I did like seeing how the different passengers handled this news and how their lives played out.  I think if the beginning had been shorter, I would have liked this book more because it would have left more room to focus on the passengers.
