One Moment - by Becky Hunter

About the Book

"The day Scarlett dies should have been one of the most important of her life. It doesn't feel fair that she'll never have the chance to fulfil her dreams. And now, she's still here wherever here is watching the ripple effect of her death on the lives of those she loved the most. Evie cannot contemplate her life without Scarlett, and she certainly cannot forgive Nate, the man she blames for her best friend's death. But Nate keeps popping up when she least expects him to, catapulting Evie's life in directions she'd never let herself imagine possible. Ways, perhaps, even those closest to her had long since given up on. If you could go back, knowing everything that happens after, everything that happens because of that one moment in time, would you change the course of history or would you do it all again?"--

Book 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?

It was here that she decided to give writing a proper go, though it was still a few years, a few more destinations, and a couple more jobs before she had the idea that would become ONE MOMENT, her debut novel.

She currently splits her time between London, Bristol, and Falmouth and works as a freelance book publicist and editor alongside her own writing.
