Solid thriller regarding daughter Cleo, a college student who returns home to find her mother Kat missing and then uncovers secrets about her family; meanwhile, Cleo is also in a situation that seems a bit too good to be true. We get alternating timelines between the week or so leading up to Kat's disappearance and Cleo reeling in the aftermath.

McCreight is a very solid writer; she was able to pitch the pacing nearly perfectly, and I was always reaching for this book, wondering what was going to happen next. Kat's background is law, so we get a decent amount of legal terminology, but - by and large - this is kept at a level the reader can understand.

One thing I would've loved to see a bit more is a further exploration of the relationship between Kat and Cleo. Cleo seems to be harboring a lot of grudges toward Kat, to the point that Kat often questions if she's a good mother, and I wasn't sure I fully grasped why Cleo came to some of these conclusions. Some of this is explored, but I thought this was the most interesting part of the story and would've loved more.

Some good lines I wrote down:

"To run a single finger through the icing on the cake of domesticity that I baked daily from scratch."
"I love messy things. I am a messy thing."
"I'm hurt. That my mom saw me as a problem to solve." (That might explain some of the Kat-Cleo relationship tension, though I still would've liked a bit more.)

All in all, a solid read, I'm glad I read it, and I would definitely read more by this author!

I don't know, I wanted to like this one so much more than I did. Kat was a great character and her story really kept me engaged but the sheer volume of characters and their significance to carrying the plot kind of were hard to keep straight. It almost seemed like there were too many subplots going on and often I'd have to refer back by searching a name because I was lost as to what was going on. I usually live the back and forth between time and character POV but there were places that I thought it was Kat but it was Cleo's POV. They're so similar which I guess....Like Mother, Like Daughter!

Overall, definitely solid thriller, readers who enjoy multiple plot lines and a wide cast of characters would probably love this. I'd normally give four stars but given I'd felt confused and overwhelmed a few times throughout, I'm only giving 3.5 (but rounded up)

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read in exchange for my honest review!

Love a thriller especially when the character is a strange woman trying to figure things out on her own. This was a great, quick read that had me wondering what was happening the whole time

This was a middle of the road mystery/thriller for me. I enjoyed it but it a bit forgettable when finished. I enjoyed the mother and daughter tumultuous relationship
Thank you to NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor for the ARC of this book.
3/5

I found this one underwhelming. The big reveal fell flat despite a long buildup. I am anxious to go back and read more of McCreight's books, because so many readers love them.

3.75⭐️

Like Mother, Like Daughter, is a generally entertaining mystery with plenty of suspense to keep you turning the pages. A nice breezy thriller that would make a decent beach read.

Thank you Kimberly McCreight, Knopf, and NetGalley for providing this ARC for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was such a good book that I couldn’t even put it down. I read it in one sitting. I would definitely recommend this book!

I absolutely loved this book and could not break away from this book until I was done. I LOVE my thrillers and mystery books. There was one thing (or person I should say) that I really could not stand. With that being said, it is an excellent book and I would highly recommend it!

This was an ARC for Netgalley. Thank you to the Author and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. This is my honest opinion and I was not paid for it.

I loved Kimberly McCreight's previous novel A Good Marriage, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on Like Mother, Like Daughter. I actually loved this one even MORE, and I clearly need to make a point of reading the rest of her backlist now. The story is told through the dual viewpoints of Cleo and Kat, and I adored Kat. She's out there kicking ass and taking names as a lawyer, though her fixer role can put her in some tight situations. The reader is taken back through the days prior to her disappearance as well as what is going on in the present time through her daughter. The pacing is steady, and I loved how McCreight created a perfect storm to throw suspicion on so many characters.

The audiobook is directed by Danny Campbell as well as narrated by his daughter Olivia Campbell & wife Cassandra Campbell who is a personal favorite of mine. I had no idea this was a family affair until the very end, and it seriously makes the audio so special. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Olivia and Cassandra were fantastic narrators for the mother and daughter characters of Cleo and Kat. I will admit I had part of the mystery figured out, but there were plenty of other twists that McCreight managed to sucker-punch me with. Like Mother, Like Daughter is a quick and bingeable read that is best consumed with a bowl of popcorn for all that drama.

This was a very good, very fast-paced thriller. I loved how the typical mother-daughter tension played heavily throughout. I was a bit triggered by how controlling the mother was, even though she was coming from a place of love. The daughter was maybe over-the-top rebellious, but it made for good tension. I have read everything by Kimberly McCreight and feel almost all her books are winners. This one is no exception and I would rank it among her best. There were a ton of red herrings and plotline possibilities that made it such a challenge to figure out what had happened to the mom, and the resolution was satisfactory.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! Wow, what a wild ride this book was. So many suspects, not sure who to trust.
Such a fun thriller, I loved it!

5 Stars and if I could give more I would!
I could not put this book down!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this ARC.
The story and characters are so good. Tense moments and twists all throughout the book.
A fast-paced, suspenseful book that kept me guessing until the end. Kimberly McCreight is an excellent author!

Suspenseful and fast paced. I read it quickly and liked the timeline of Kat in the past and Cleo in the present day. A lot of characters so slightly confusing. The ending was a little lackluster after a fantastic buildup (and I still have one question - did she get the money back?) but definitely worth a read!

This book was slightly triggering for me, because of the mention of seizure medicine and its effects during pregnancy. I'm probably one of the few people this would effect. It did not bother me so much that I could not finish the book, but a trigger warning would be appreciated.

I really liked this book. The mom was such a helicopter mom! But I loved how the daughter does everything she can to save her. And all the great twists to this story!!

This was just ok for me. Twists, but didn’t feel like they led anywhere. Maybe I just read it at the wrong time, but I enjoyed her previous book to this one..

Cleo, a student at NYU, arrives late for dinner at her home and finds her mom missing and only finds blood on the floor. Over the next few days, while trying to piece together the events leading to whatever happened to her mom, Cleo learns that she really didn’t know her mother (maybe because she didn’t care to learn) and that her mother isn’t a patent lawyer but a “fixer” for a law firm, her past isn’t quite as rosy as it was painted, her parents have been separated for months (because her father cheated on her) and that maybe Cleo’s drug dealing boyfriend is far more dangerous than Cleo even realized. Basically everything Cleo believed about her life has been turned upside down.

I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to pick this one up, it’s been on my NetGalley shelf for a few months. I inhaled this one in a day, the story grabbed me and I really enjoyed it. I will say, that as a mother of a daughter of the same age - I hated Cleo and had some issues with that character, but that didn’t take away from the story for me. Even though I figured out the ending I enjoyed the twists and turns on this one. This is a fun one to pick up, especially this long weekend while sitting by a pool!

Thank you to Knopf and NetGalley for the ARC to review

Thank you for the opportunity to read this novel. Unfortunately, this story did not keep my attention and I did not finish.

I really enjoyed this book. I really didn’t know which direction it was headed or who could be the culprit. It was definitely full of twists and turns.

This book asked the question, Do we ever really know our parents? It was full of a secret life and a secret past that catches up.

It certainly kept me turning the pages and I had to find out what was going on. I definitely plan to read more from this author!

When Cleo's mother Kat goes missing, it sends Cleo down a rabbit hole of her mom's past. She quickly learns she doesn't really know much about her mother at all. 
I was completely immersed into this story from the first page. We start with finding out that Kat is missing  and quickly find out this story is more than just a missing person. 
I loved that this story is told. The chapters go back and forth between before and after the disappearance. These characters had the most complex relationships. Cleo and Kat's relationship is strained and they haven't talked in months but that doesn't stop Cleo from stopping at nothing to find her mother. 
This book had me guessing till the very end. Solid suspense/ family drama. Really enjoyed this one.

Missing person mystery wrapped in the complicated relationship of a mother and daughter. A lot of subplots but it kept me guessing until the end. Always a bonus in a mystery!

Couldn’t put it down. Thank you for the opportunity to read it!
