A review by bookphenomena_micky
Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty

mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No

3.0

Headlines:
Unique plotline
Too many POVs
Satisfying end

I went through a lot of phases with this read...interest, questioning which person was narrating, at which time, some lulls and a surge of renewed interest in the last 10%. This story, with fate at the head was fascinating but rather long-winded at times.

The characters were not that likeable but that wasn't the purpose of this story. It started with strangers on a plane having a shared experience of forced fortunes, death dates and causes. That whole early part of the book was so incredibly shocking. The rest of the book was the fall out for these characters and the effect of living with this information.

The "psychic" was a really unlikeable character but I did like the direction the author took with her in the latter part of the book. How the plot resolved itself was truly satisfying and finished the book in a better place than I was expecting.

The middle section of the book was overly long. The many, many POVs were excessive and confusing (a trend with this author). I wished it could have kept my interest more avidly throughout.

I've enjoyed Liane Moriarty books in the past, but the prior release was a DNF, now this one was very middling. I will be a wary reader in the future.

Thank you to the publisher through netgalley for the eARC.
