This was supposed to be the best summer of Maggie's life. Now it's the one she'd do anything to forget.

Maggie remembers hanging out at the gorge with her closest friends after a blowout party. She remembers climbing the trail with her perfect boyfriend, Joey. She remembers that last kiss, soft, lingering, and meant to reassure her. So why can't she remember what happened in the moment before they were supposed to dive? Why was she left cowering at the top of the cliff, while Joey floated in the water below-dead? 
As Maggie's memories return in snatches, nothing seems to make sense. Why was Joey acting so strangely at the party? Where did he go after taking her home? And if Joey was keeping these secrets, what else was he hiding?

                                 - One moment can change everything in your life. -

What would you do if you found out that everything you've been living has been a lie? That the ones you love and trust so much have so easily betrayed you?

Maggie is living the perfect life with all her friends and boyfriend Joey until that one moment changed it all. With Joey's death little secrets start to come out which left me turning the pages even faster. Even though I saw some things coming I still enjoyed this book a lot.

You get to see Maggie find out bits and pieces of Joey's life she never thought would be possible; seeing her take in all that information that is both killing her and helping her at the same time. There is a wonderful bond between the six friends so i think that's what makes the betrayal that much more shocking. Maggie was a character that was easy to understand and like. She isn't the mean type, even when everything had been laid out in the open. She has such a good heart and goes through so much that my heart aches for her.

The pacing was wonderful, i loved how everything came at just the right time. Like I said, I could see some things coming but it didn't bother me, just made my heart ache for Maggie and the others.

One Moment is full of love, friendships, loss, and betrayal. It shows us that there is something more than just what meets the eye, that people can have two different sides and you not know one of them at all. Most of all it shows of grievance, acceptance, and forgiveness.
