Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty
5.0
Imagine being on a flight and a woman gets out of her seat and proceeds to go row by row telling every passenger their cause of death and age of death. She is showing no emotion, just methodically going down the aisle.
Some passengers are told they are going to die in a few months, some will live well into their 90s and later.
This book was full of dread – in a good way, it was so compelling to read and I was so invested in the few passengers that we came to know. When the predictions of “The Death Lady” started coming true I was entirely freaked out.
We get different POVs from 5 passengers and Cherry, aka The Death Lady and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out their fate.
I was especially drawn to Allegra, the flight attendant, who is predicted to die at the age of 28 from self harm – that day it’s her 28th birthday. I also felt so much fear for young mother Paula who’s children are on the flight with her and she learns that her daughter will live to 100 but her baby, Timmy will die at the age of seven from drowning.
And Cherry’s story is very captivating and fascinating, getting her backstory was such a big part of the book, so finding out why she did what she did on that flight gives closure for readers.
This is such a great “thinking” read. I really recommend giving this one a go.
