I was so excited to read this after reading the synopsis. I thought it was gonna be similar to gossip girl. It fell flat for me. I didn’t think it ever got exciting and the ending & who the killer was was so disappointing. Altogether it was just ok for me.

A delicious tale of deceit and powerplays. It is as if Big Little Lies and Desperate Housewives had a baby. I could not read this one fast enough and read it within a day timeframe. I won't go too deep into the synopsis of the book, being as you can read that easily enough. I loved the vantage point of seeing things unfold through the eyes of the main characters and the addition of the "anonymous" chat board provided for a fun distraction and once the "anonymous" part was hacked it was fun to see whom wrote what, which added another layer to some of the main characters. Highly enjoyable read, be sure to put it on your summer list

thank you so much netgalley for the chance to read this book early! i had really high hopes for this book but it gave me big little lies vibes throughout and seemed very similar in alot of ways and it did not keep my attention at all. i wanted to get through this book as fast as i could so i just read it quick. nothing about this book really kept my interest and wasn't super shocking and just kind of fell flat for me. it was eh to be honest.

First off, thank you to @netgalley and @randomhouse for providing me this ARC and I am voluntarily leaving my review!

Ok for me I am giving this one 3 stars. I was very intrigued by the premise of this storyline described as an anonymous neighborhood forum that gets hacked and the darkest secrets of New York’s wealthy residents come to light, which include some worth killing for. There are three main characters in this book and it shifts between perspectives, but then there’s a lot of other characters thrown into the mix making it a little confusing to follow. This was a bit slow paced for me and I didn’t really like any of these characters at all, which I guess is the point for this storyline. Unfortunately, this one just fell a bit flat for me but I wouldn’t discourage anyone from checking this out!

I was really looking forward to reading this book, but to be honest, it kind of disappointed me. It took too long to get to the heart of the matter (the hacking) and I found that the revelation of the secrets was not as explosive as I would have hoped it would be.

This was a quick, and fun read. It kind of gave me… gossip girl vibes? Pretty little liars vibes? I’m not sure. But I loved it.

I love Lindsay Cameron and this one did not disappoint. Living in NYC, I especially loved reading about the UESers. This was a fun, fast paced read about the 1%ers and what they’ll do to get themselves, and their children ahead.

Thank you netgalley for this ARC! I requested this arc because i love a good thriller and the cover caught my eye. WOW is all i can say ive read alot of thrillers and sometimes can pin point what was going to happen but this one kept me guessing and curious the whole book and the ending shocked me. This book follows a bunch of rich moms and people and lots of secrets and betrayal trying to get family members into a good school and what would they do to get their children in one. A secret society. A blog forum with people posting things under anon names this book really was a great thriller. I will say at times alot of people in this book fell through the backlines mostly the husbands and stuff and kids but the main focus was the moms which was okay i also felt like alot of the moms reminded me of eachother and had the same personality so at times i felt like i was reading the same person.. My favorite part was that i could just not guess what would happen next i think alot of thriller lovers will like this one it takes place in NYC which i loved and it was super fitting for the novel.

An invitation into the secret world of the NYC elite - the penthouses, the prep schools, the parties, the Ivy league admissions drama, the gossip and proof that money does not always buy happiness. This book read like a cross between Real Housewives of NY and Dateline and I loved every minute of it! Quick, fast paced read. Thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine Publishers for the ARC.

I really liked the world that was created in this book and how crazy all the moms were. But I really hated the ending and that shaded my overall feelings toward the book.

This is one of my new favorite thrillers! I loved it. I felt so immersed in the story and I didn't know who to trust. I wanted to get to the end to learn and understand how the story would unfold.

Fun quick easy read about the NYC rich. As parents back stab to get their kids the upper hand, they post gossipy and tell all comments on an anonymous message board. When the anonymous message board is no longer anonymous, secrets are revealed. This book felt like a guilty pleasure reading a gossip magazine or a reality tv show. I felt like the ending was a little unbelievable but didn’t exactly mind it. I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley. Thank you NetGalley!

I was a massive fan of her other novel, "Just One Look," so I was excited to check this one out - and it did not disappoint! This is definitely a bit of a slow-burn in terms of suspense, but I was still fascinated by these characters, so I was captivated the whole time. Plus, because it's set in the wealthiest neighborhood of NYC with truly unhinged socialites, it was even more intriguing.

The book follows three women who have young teenage children at an elitist private school. They all use an app called UrbanMyth, which is a message board where people can share their darkest secrets anonymously. Of course, this is a breeding ground for drama! Guessed a few smaller twists along the way, but the last few chapters were not predictable at all.

I'll definitely be eager to read anything by this writer in the future!

this started off strong and I liked all the crazy moms, but the ending seemed rushed and didn't make sense

This was such a fun read! Imagine if the Nextdoor app had a baby with Big Little Lies and that’s No One Needs to Know. I enjoyed the suspense. There were many characters but found them all well-rounded and I wanted to find out what would happen. This would be a great book club pick!

What can go wrong when how rich people can post anonymously on a site. All the drama ensues when the website they have been posting on their drama on is no longer anonymous and people know everyone’s secrets. Then, one of the parents disappears. The cops need to decide if it was because he was blackmailing people, if it was because his stepdaughter might have been cyber bullying another classmate, or if his wife was taking revenge on him for cheating!

I really enjoyed this book. Although I couldn’t completely relate with any other characters, it was fun to be sucked into their rich people drama. Hundreds of thousands of dollars just to send your kid to high school! This book has me guessing the whole time on who did it. There were enough red herrings to keep me interested, but not too many to make it too bogged down or unbelievable. This is a four-star instead of a five only because it was a little slow to start, with only rich people drama and not enough mystery. Then the ending sort of abruptly happened. I would still recommend it, though!

Nextdoor for the rich.

That's what you need to know.

I don't know about your neighborhoods but my Nextdoor is the WORST. Full of people who are too old for Facebook and who use it to complain about 5G towers and parking. UrbanMyth, the fictional discussion board, from "No One Needs to Know" is similar except people use it to confess to affairs, gossip about children and private school and eventually, it's used to talk about murder.

This is a 'suspense' domestic thriller but it read like an adult Gossip Girl and it did nothing for me. The women, men and children are all terrible people, with no redeeming qualities and frankly, everyone gets what they deserve.

BUT, I'm sure it's going to be a hit and fly off of many airport shelves.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

A look into the lives and sins of the wealthiest Upper East Side parents. The teen drama is NOTHING compared to the secrets the adults carry with them. Wow.

I absolutely LOVE novels about the 0.1%, especially when there’s major drama and major secrets. Who’s having an affair? Who’s trying to buy their way into an Ivy? Who’s trying to stay on top even though they don’t exactly belong? Add an anonymous version of NextDoor where users post the most ridiculous questions (Imagine things like—“I think my housekeeper is sleeping with my husband, what should I do?” “I slept with the pool boy, how can I off him without anyone finding out about the affair?”), and everyone knows everyone else’s business.

What happens when the site gets hacked and everyone’s secrets come out? This novel, that’s what. This was the first book I’ve read in a long time where I literally couldn’t keep my eyes open at 2am and was still trying to figure out how I could keep reading because I didn’t want to put it down.

Thank you to the author, Bantam, and NetGalley for a review copy.

This book has 3 main narrators - Heather, Norah, and Poppy. Each are married and have an 8th grade child that goes to a $50k/yr K-8 school and are all worried about getting their kids into the best boarding schools for 9-12. During a dance at a ridiculously exclusive club, a picture of one of the children is taken where she's smoking weed which goes viral. Chaos ensues.

I struggled to keep track of the cast of characters. With the narrators + 3 children + 3 husbands + secondary characters, there were 12-15 characters and they started to blend together. I kept mixing Norah up with Heather and then Norah up with Poppy. Most of the time I knew Poppy had a son but I couldn't keep track of which daughter went with which mom. Same with the husbands. (It also didn't help that my review copy had some names mixed up). The narrators didn't have distinct enough voices so I kept having to go back to the start of the chapter to see who was narrating or wait until it said "my daughter Caroline". Each day, I would have to refresh myself on who was who when I started to read again.

The story takes place on New York's UES (or "Upper East Side" to us poor folks). 2 of the 3 families are ridiculously wealthy and I struggled to care about their problems. $50k/yr K-8 school, top boarding schools, making the biggest donations for the school's fundraiser, being a member of whatever that Club was, the pearl clutching scandal of smoking pot (yes, I know she's 13, it's too young, but the parent response was eye rolling). Books can find ways to make worlds like this accessible and get me to care - one example is <i>Schooled</i> by Ted Fox about a parent running for PTA president of his daughter's elementary school. I could not care less about elementary school PTA elections but I was enthralled AND HAD TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. <i>Big Little Lies</i> is the more obvious book to draw a comparison with - I cared what was happening with the parents and children and that book did a better job of making a topic that I don't directly relate with to be accessible.

This wasn't a bad book - I wanted to know what happened and it had some good parts. It was a middle of the road read.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this advance review copy.

Such a good book - couldn’t put it down! I love Real Housewives, and this was a perfect match to my favorite type of TV. Grabbed me from the beginning, and I read the book in less than 24 hours!!!!
