The story of a complicated mother-daughter relationship plus suspense and a mystery. I enjoyed this book. Thank you for the opportunity to review it!

Like Mother, Like Daughter is a twisty mystery featuring a complicated relationship between a mother and daughter.
I enjoy thrillers with dual POVs and this was no exception. Cleo's POV takes place after she finds her mother missing while Kat's are a countdown to the day she disappears.
I didn’t care much for Cleo so, for the most part, I preferred Kat's POV. I was curious about her past and enjoyed the slow unraveling of her secrets.
What I enjoyed most was the addition of the mixed-media format - transcripts, news articles, journal entries, etc.
I did figure out who the culprit was before it was revealed but I still liked how everything played out and was satisfied with the ending.

Cleo arrives for dinner at her mother’s home, a mother with whom she has been feuding for quite a while. Upon arrival, she sees signs that something terribly wrong has occurred, and no signs that her mother is anywhere in the house. Determined to find her mother, Cleo dives deep, discovering her mother has been keeping a lot of secrets from her.

McCreight has a beautiful writing style, and is especially adept at keeping characters’ varying perspectives unique. Tension and suspense are built up well, as secrets are slowly and carefully revealed. I would recommend this book.

Like Mother, Like Daughter was a fun whodunit type read, with an oddly sweet theme for a murderish mystery. I loved the elements that explored motherhood in its complex entirity, and how where we come from sometimes impacts the type of mother we become. I loved the dual POV from Mother and Daughter, showcasing both sides of these fragile, yet unbreakable bonds!

As mentioned, LMLD is told in dual POV, but also in dual timeline, which I originally didn't like, BUT ended up really enjoying because it made it possible for both sides to tell a story without repeating one another. Mom, Kat, tells the pre event timeline, and daughter Cleo, tells the post event timeline.

After Cleo arrives home after being summoned to talk to her mother about something "important", she finds her mother missing and her shoe and blood on the floor. This event kicks off a wild journey of a mother who spent months trying to save her daughter from impending danger, and an adventure of a sleuth daughter trying to save her mother from suspected danger. As both women go to extra lengths to protect one another, they both begin to discover their bond is much stronger than either of them had recently believed, and as they begin to uncover each other's secrets, they find they may be more alike than they care to admit.

I loved this book. It kept me hooked from the first page and it was more than just a thriller. The dynamic of a complicated mother daughter relationship was well flushed out in this story

This is one of those books that I know a month from now, I won't remember much about. There really wasn't anything that made it stand out. I did like the way the story was told and that there were enough characters to keep you guessing. The ending was a little bit of a let down and the story did read at times like a YA. I will continue to read this author as I have loved previous books.

Kat invited her daughter, Cleo, for dinner but when Cleo arrived, Kat was nowhere to be found. Not only that, but food was burning and Kat’s bloody shoe was under the sofa.

Cleo and Kat haven’t had the best relationship, but Cleo can’t shake the feeling that something must have happened to Kat. As she digs into what her mom has been doing, she unearths secrets and lies, and starts to question whether anything is as it seems.

Huge fan of the twists but not of the characters.

Cleo and her mom, Kat, have a complicated relationship. When Kat begs Cleo to come for dinner, Cleo unhappily agrees. When she shows up at Kat's house to find a puddle of blood and her mother missing, she panics. What exactly is her mother into? Can she figure it all out before something terrible happens or is she too late?

Cleo and Kat's relationship is intriguing but both characters are equally morally awful. Found myself not really rooting for either one of them which made it hard to be invested in the back story.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Knopf for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was just not for me. I didn't like any of the characters. The plots fell short and I had zero emotions reading it.

I have enjoyed a couple of books by this author but this one I didn't. Maybe it was me but it just seemed off somehow.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I love a twisty thriller and this one delivered!

Cleo is a college student who doesn't always get along with her mom, Kat. Kat has asked her to come for dinner and she reluctantly agrees. When she gets home, she finds food burning on teh stove, blood, and her mom is missing.

Kat is a prestigious attorney. But we find out she is the firm's "Fixer" which could have her in some hot water. What could have happened to her? Cleo is determined to find out - but will she be too late?

Many thanks to NetGalley and Knopf for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I thought this book was really good. I haven't read much from this author but I really enjoyed the writing style. I really enjoyed the twists as well. I will be reading from this author.

Cleo arrives at her mother's house for dinner, only to find that she's gone missing. As the investigation ramps up, Cleo decides to take matters into her own hands and dives into secrets from her mother's past. l've loved McCreight's other books, but this was a miss for me. The plot lines felt unrelated for about 65% of the book. What frustrates me most about this book is that each of the disparate plot points were interesting, but they all felt unfinished. There are bones of 2-3 really good books in here. Even though I found Cleo largely insufferable and Kat a little too saint-like, I enjoyed the commentary on motherhood in here.

I really enjoyed this thriller. It’s extremely suspenseful and uniquely highlights the intense bond of mothers and daughters. I did feel like there was a lot of characters to keep track of and my baby brain had a hard time keeping the names straight. The middle of this book slows down a little but the ending is so strong. The twists at the end are amazing! Overall a great book.

Thriller novel with an emotional tie to the characters and the building of their story. Complex with emotional suspense.

This was a mixed bag for me. There was a lot going on plot wise and it felt like it took a while for things to come together. Plus, I couldn't stand Cleo (Kat's daughter)! What a brat! Most of the other characters were unlikable as well, except for Kat. I really wished she would've stood up for herself more, especially with Aiden! What a complete jerk! The ending, once we got there, felt rushed, things glossed over or just plain unresolved. One that really bugged me was <spoiler> What about the inheritance? Aiden was just allowed to take it and then nothing?? I wanted to know what happened there for sure! </spoiler>

It did hold my attention enough to keep reading, although some of it was skimming.

This book definitely kept me hooked from the beginning, but the end fell a bit short from me. I was expecting a little bit more. I did love to get both point of views from Cleo and her mother. I enjoyed reading about their relationship. Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

I liked this okay, but there were several storylines to keep up with and it could get somewhat confusing. Overall kind of forgettable.

I received a complimentary copy of this book "Like Mother, Like Daughter" and all opinions expressed are my own. Overall okay read. I felt like I struggled to get through some parts of the book.

This book took me a bit to get into and a part of that was that I didn’t like any of the characters, but they were all written to be disliked. I did definitely get caught up in the story and when that happened I could barely put it down. I recommend not reading the synopsis as I think it kind of spoils the story and in that vein I am not going to do a synopsis here either. This is a story about a complex relationship between a mother and her daughter. This story is about love and how it can hurt but is so strong. This book is also about the things from your past that shape you and what happens when they come back because nothing stays in the past forever.

3.5 stars-I hate when I can’t even gather my thoughts to write a review of a book because it is not what I hoped it would be. Kimberly McCreight is a must read author for me, but this was not one of my favorites. There are multiple POV’s and a a number of subplots that I found hard to keep track of. I was reading it on my kindle which made it hard to go back when I had the “wait, what’s going on” moments. I also found the ending to be just kind of meh. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.
