“Everyone loves a particular version of you, and when that person is gone, that version goes with them.”
― Liane Moriarty, Here One Moment

If you knew your future, would you fight to change your fate? This is the premise of Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty. The concept of fate vs choice is debated heavily throughout this novel and will leave readers contemplating where they stand on this topic.

Boarding a flight, passengers believe this will be a short trip. When unexpected delays push the start time back further and further, tempers rise. When the flight finally leaves, a random woman stands up and begins to tell passengers how they will die and their age of death. The slightly calm atmosphere is shattered. They become enraged and terrified. Some deaths are far in the future, but others aren’t that far off at all.

After the flight ends, the passengers have difficulty remembering anything about ‘The Death Lady’. She was unremarkable, except for the death predictions. Flash forward a few months and one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Two more passengers die shortly after. When a fourth dies, The Death Lady’s predictions begin to be taken more seriously.

Here One Moment follows the lives of the passengers and The Death Lady on the fated flight. How would you live your life if you knew you only had a set amount of time left to live? Would you change your life? Would you try to change your fate? Exploring free will and destiny, Liane Moriarty has crafted a story about how people work to control an uncertain world.

“You never know what your last words are going to be, so try to choose them all wisely.”
― Liane Moriarty, Here One Moment
