Goodreads Summary:
"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?
The latest novel from the author of "The Tension of Opposites," "One Moment" is a mysterious, searing look at how an instant can change everything you believe about the world around you.

I was excited to read this book because the synopsis made it sound really interesting. I thought it would make a great summer read and I love the cover. Thankfully I wasn't disappointed! McBride had me hooked on this book from the very beginning. The plot line was thrilling and mysterious. I couldn't wait to find out more. However, I will admit this book is slightly depressing.
Maggie is an amazing character. She is well-rounded, sweet and believable. The grief she experiences from the loss of her boyfriend is expected and not over exaggerated.` She has her ups and downs and is just a very lovable character. I found myself attached to her and hoping for the best.
I literally couldn't put this book down. This was probably the fastest I finished a book in a long time! Like I said, the storyline was catching and the mystery surrounding the death of Joey was something I couldn't help but try to figure out. As more details arise, I began to feel a little differently. Some characters didn't have a single good aspect to them. I almost didn't want to know what happened. I thought it would ruin the book. Of course, I was wrong. The ending of this book is the best part. I was thrilled to have everything seemingly worked out.
