Synopsis

This heart-wrenching read about friendship, love, and loss tells the story of a woman grieving the death of her best friend and learning to embrace a future she never imagined—perfect for fans of Rebecca Serle and Josie Silver. 

The day Scarlett dies, her hopes and dreams for the future die with her . . . or so she thinks. Because she’s still here—wherever here is—watching the ripple effect of her death on the lives of those she loved the most. She’d do anything to go back and join the living.

Evie can’t imagine life without her best friend, Scarlett, and she certainly doesn’t want to forgive Nate, the man she blames for her death. Yet Nate keeps showing up in her life—so charming and outgoing, just like Scarlett—when all Evie wants is to retreat from the world. 

But Evie’s not alone. Scarlett is still by her side, even as she wrestles with the choices that led to that fateful day. Knowing what she knows now, would Scarlett go back and alter the events that changed their lives forever?

Ahhhh!!! This book left such a lasting impact on me emotionally and has been so hard to review. I feel like anything I say could take away from a first-time reading experience, so I will keep it short and sweet so as not to spoil it.

4.5 stars There are so many things I loved about this book. The narration from dead Scarlett, the friendship that she shared with Evie, teenager Astrid who lives opposite, heart breakingly wonderful Nate and that spectacular ending.

Goodreads review by Cassidy on March 19, 2024

4.5 ★ What a strong debut!! I absolutely loved this. One Moment is at it’s core a story about the butterfly effect; how tiny moments can end up having a big impact (both good and bad) in your life overall. It’s also a story about love, life, friendship, and loss. It is written from two POVs and mainl......more
