"Here One Moment" by Liane Moriarty.
There was an 80:20 split as to enjoyment factor of the book.
80% positive 20% much less so.
We were all agreed that no one really wanted to know future predictions especially one's demise date.
It was felt that the book could have done with a bit of editing especially as it seemed to take forever for Allegra the flight attendant to move down the plane.
It was also thought that with social media by the time the passengers had got off the plane what had happened would have been all over the web.
It would also have been very easy to track down Cherry.
Some thought that there was poor character development others found the central premise was too far fetched. We had a lively discussion about predictions and coincidence afterwards.
Most of us had read other Liane Moriarty books and enjoy the diversity of her writing although she does always seem to have multiple characters to follow.
We liked the fact that Timmy became an Olympic swimmer.
