This mystery had some surprising twists throughout the book that I wasn't expecting! Kimberly McCreight can be a hit or miss for me. I read A Good Marriage by her and I thought it was a bit slow at times. This one was a bit more fast paced. 3.5 stars

This really didn't captivate me until 85% in which is why it took me about 6 weeks to read 😬
There were some good parts, but it was also a bit disjointed and quite slow.
Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy!

A mother is missing in the book Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight. And her daughter is tracking down clues to find her while discovering a lot of secrets along the way.
The book is told from two POVs. The first is the mother’s (Kat) point of view leading up to her disappearance. And we hear the daughter’s (Cleo) POV after she discovers that her mother is missing.

Kat’s story was all over the place. I believe that the author was adding a lot to the story line to misdirect the reader. But it created a lot of unnecessary (and sometimes confusing) dead ends. Cleo’s story was a bit more straightforward, but it was a little hard to believe that a college student was able to follow all the leads that just seem to easily come her way. The ending had a bit of a twist. I just felt it took longer than it should have to get there.

Like Mother, Like Daughter is the second book that I’ve read by Kimberly McCreight. I read Reconstructing Amelia years ago and didn’t love that book either. I am willing to try again. Maybe the third time is a charm.

This was my first by this author and wow it did not disappoint. I loved the backstory of Kat. I thought that there was a lot of little storylines about multiple characters that left us readers intrigued throughout the book. I loved the dual timelines. It made the reader stay om their toes looking for any hint as to what might have happened. There were so many suspects it was hard to feel like I knew what would happen which is always a great thing when reading a thriller like this. As the story progressed it seemed we had more questions than answers and I couldn't wait to find out what was going on, what happened to Cleos mother?

Like Mother, Like Daughter has countless potential suspects interwoven into the plot, and so much more that lies beneath the surface, reminiscent of real life. Muddied motivations, secrets from the past we’d rather keep hidden, misunderstandings and occasional poor choices…life is complicated, and this thriller showcases that in a very authentic way. Like Mother, Like Daughter has compelling characters within a suspenseful, enthralling plot. I loved it. Thank you @NetGalley for the ARC

Like Mother, Like Daughter is a thriller involving Katrina and Cleo, a mother/daughter duo. In this thriller, the reader follows 2 POVs: Katrina goes missing and Cleo is off to seach for her. Lots of family secrets are uncovered. Thank you, Netgalley, for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review. 3.5 Stars

This was my second read from Kimberly McCreight and I think she's becoming a go-to author for me. I've heard other people complain ~nothing happens in this book and how??? This has me GRIPPED from the beginning.

We're thrown right into the missing persons case, complicated mother-daughter relationship, lawyer drama from the get go. You get dual POV between Cleo and Kat, following and leading up to the incident where Kat goes missing, plus all of these little legal documents, ominous text exchanges, and journal entries interspersed throughout.

This book just felt really smartly written. After finishing it and knowing all we know, I'm able to look back and be like OHHH. Every reveal felt deserved and not just added in for shock value. I also really appreciated the characterization of both Cleo and Kat. I had prepared myself to be annoyed by one or both of them, but I felt like they were both imperfect and nuanced characters who I ultimately was fully rooting for.

I did guess the Big Reveal, but I think that it was still fun and satisfying to read. Made me feel more like I'm just an extra good detective and not like this book was poorly written. There's a lot of moving parts as well, so I can see this easily being overwhelming to people if they prefer one central mystery. But I feel like that kept me even more engaged. There were always so many directions to be looking.

Overall, I'd highly recommend this is you enjoy thrillers, family dramas, and over the top characters. TW for cheating, grooming, and sex abuse. Definitely will be reading through McCreight's backlist!

Thank you Knopf and NetGalley for an e-ARC.

“I never saw my mom as a full person separate from me.” Cleo McHugh’s relationship with her mother is very strained to say the least. Katrina McHugh is an incredibly successful lawyer, but the success in her career hasn’t transferred over to her personal life. Estranged from Cleo, on the way to divorce with her husband- both Cleo and Kat are struggling and keeping secrets. When Katrina goes missing, Cleo has to grow up and step up to try to find her mother. I really enjoyed the way the story was told. Using flashbacks, diary entries, alternating POV, and transcripts from therapist visits- the story is laid out for us- past and present. This was a quick suspenseful read. If you want a good weekend binge, this thriller is for you. Thank you for NetGalley for allowing me to read it as an arc!

I'm a huge Kimberly McCreight fan. I've read most of the books she's come out with now. I'm not sure what it was but I didn't enjoy this one as much. Maybe I felt it was a little bit predictable. I'm not really sure but I never felt fully surprised when reading it. I'm sad about this but looking forward to the next book she ends up writing.

This is a story about a mother and daughter finding their way back to each other. I loved the way McCreight told the story; you see the days leading up to Kat's disappearance from Kat's POV, and then you get to see the aftermath from Cleo's POV. Such a clever approach!

Thank you to the publisher and @netgalley for my eARC of this book!

Katrina is a very effective corporate lawyer, but failing miserably with her personal life. Her college-aged daughter, Cleo, won’t speak to her and she’s been separated from her husband for 4 months. At least she’s met Doug, a promising new love interest who she’s enjoying spending her time with… until he passes away. Katrina finds out that the crash that claimed him is being considered intentional and is set to get to the bottom of who was blackmailing Doug before his death. But then Katrina goes missing and Cleo is intent on finding her.
Told in duel timelines from before and after Katrina’s disappearance with mixed media included throughout the book, including court documents, therapy transcripts, and text messages, this book grabbed my attention and held it. I never knew what I was going to find out in the next chapter. At times, it was hard for me to tell which was the main plot and which was the subplot, but it all made sense and wrapped up well in the end.

Kimberly's writing style is easy to read and keeps you entertained. The book started off with a bang and kept my attention the whole time. I thought the relationship between Cleo and Kat and Cleo and Aiden were both really well done and unique. The secrets unraveling in this book kept coming and unraveling keeping the flow throughout the chapters.

This story was a good story about how the past can come back to haunt you long after you think the secrets are long buried. I enjoyed how the real time story was mixed with diary entries form the past to tell a layered story.

The start was great! Strange mother-daughter relationship between Chloe and Kat. Chloe finds her mother missing with no other clue than signs of struggle, a fight for sure and a single shoe left behind with blood. What is interesting is that, the writing is good that it kept me on the edge. The flow was smooth that made me want to know what happen next! It has many twists and turns, cliffhangers as chapter changes and literally gives no idea where the next page will lead or will reveal! I really liked all the mystery and dysfunctionality with all the characters giving it a good dimension for conflict . It was fast read and I would highly recommend to anyone who likes psychological thrillers, suspense and family dysfunctionality.

I loved this book! Couldn’t put it down once it really got going! It had plenty of twists I didn’t see coming as well as a few I did guess. Overall a fantastic book!

Thank you, NetGalley and Knopf, for this ARC of Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight!
This is a suspenseful mystery thriller-style book, which is always my absolute favorite! The story is about a girl named Cleo and her mother, Kat. Cleo and Kat do not have a great mother/daughter relationship and are sure at wit's end with one another. The book's chapters jump from each other's perspectives following the events of Kat's disappearance. I enjoyed the back-and-forth in this format. I was intrigued by how the author wrote this book's timeline and thought it was well executed. The story had a good plot and added details that kept you intrigued. Multiple characters were introduced throughout the book, but they stayed relevant enough for you to remember who each person was, which I always enjoy.
However, the ending of this book was rushed. It could have been dragged out longer and more suspenseful like the rest of the book, which kept me interested. But I did not see that ending coming and was really into it! I do wish it had played out longer. There was more to that situation that hadn't been explained, and I would have liked all those details. Cleo's involvement in the final parts of the book is significant and I wanted more! I also wanted the ending to have more developed details as to how it all played out and just more information on those other characters involved.
Overall, this was a well-written thriller, a testament to the author's skill, and I look forward to reading more from this author. Thank you again for this ARC!

This story was one I flew through in a weekend. It moved quickly and had many different layers, although at points I felt like they overshadowed the main storyline. . I think the multiple perspectives were done very well being in different time frames of the main event.

I always enjoy a plot that I cannot figure out and here is another one. Everyone is this family has secrets, some are somewhat harmless, other are self-destructive, and then there are those that are down-right dangerous. What is the mother's j0b? What was her childhood like? Can she outwit the baddies? My thanks to the author and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of this book.

Great read. Full of suspense and twists. I really enjoyed the way this book was written from the 2 pov’s and time periods. Looking forward to more from this author. Thanks to NetGalley for the privilege to read and review this book.

3.5*
This book grabbed my attention in the beginning but towards the middle I suddenly lost it and then it came back in the end. I felt like there were a lot of "leads" of what happened to Kat and I didn't expect it to go the way it did. It felt like the solution was thrown in and then the book ended which didn't satisfy the mystery for me. Some points I called out prior but that just made me happy that I got to say "I knew it." The characters weren't super interesting, but I liked them enough.

Thank you to Kimberly McCreight, Knopf Publishing, and NetGalley for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

I kept putting this off because I wasn't in the mood for the genre. I am so glad I waited. I really enjoyed the story and all the mystery. It had enough twists and turns to make you not want to put the book down. There was a lot going on and at times it was a bit hard to keep up, but overall it was a great twisty thriller.
