An emotional, heart-wrenching, and uplifting story about friendship, love, and sacrifice, perfect for fans of Rebecca Serle and Josie Silver.

One moment in time can change everything…

Scarlett and Evie have been inseparable since they were ten years old. So when Scarlett dies, Evie can’t imagine life without her. And she certainly can’t forgive Nate, the man she blames for her best friend’s death, even though it was just an accident. 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. Infuriatingly, he seems determined to give her something to live for, a reason to not feel alone.

But what Evie doesn’t realize is that she’s not really alone because Scarlett is still herewherever here is—watching the ripple effect of her death on the lives of those she loved the most. And given a choice to go back and relive that fateful day—knowing what she knows now and seeing Evie begin to bravely embrace a future without her—will Scarlett alter the events that changed their lives forever?

About the Author

Becky Hunter grew up in Berkshire, UK, and has loved reading since before she can remember. After studying social sciences at Cambridge University, this love of reading led her to a career in publishing, where she worked as a book publicist in London for several years before taking a career break and moving to Mozambique to volunteer with horses. 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.
