Loved it! Very engaging right from the beginning and hard to put down. Alternating viewpoints between mother and daughter, with some old journal entries as well, and short chapters make it an easy read. Twisty but not too dark. Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this page-turner about a mother and daughter, and the secrets they kept from each other. Daughter Cleo arrives at mom Katrina‘s house for dinner. But what she discovers when she arrives is no Katrina, burned food, and a bloody shoe. The story then shifts between present day and events starting eight days ago. While I thoroughly enjoyed the character development of Katrina and Cleo, I was especially drawn in by all the secondary characters. It would be a spoiler to mention them specifically. I’ve been a fan of this author for a long time, and she continues to remain on my auto-read list.
Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

It’s a yes for me! Like Mother, Like Daughter really hit the spot and is so worth the read! I’m even considering buying the psychical book when it comes out. Thanks NetGalley!

I really liked this book. Mother/daughter relationships are never easy, but this story was REALLY well thought out. Chapters went back and forth between Cleo's viewpoint and Kates. Kate's story is all about the past, while all of Cleo's story is about the present - not too surprising since the book started out with Kate being missing, But what we saw is the agony Kate went through, seeing her daughter becoming more and more distant in the past, while Cleo is learning more and more about her mother and how Cleo hadn't really appreciated everything her mother did. Plus, it didn't hurt that her father showed her quite clearly what a lying jerk he actually was. So while the book is about trying to find out what happened to Kate, I found myself both regretting what had gone on in the past and hoping that Kate would be found so she and Cleo could finally be close the way they both wanted.

This is a very well written and engaging thriller that drew me in from the start!
The book centers around Kat and her daughter Cleo, who have a tense and challenging relationship. Cleo arrives back at the family home to find her mother missing and signs of struggle evident. The story unfolds from there, with Kat's perspective on what led up to her disappearance and the multiple threats she was facing, and Cleo's perspective in the hours following it as she tries to untangle the web of lies she uncovers to find the truth, and hopefully her mother.
McCreight did a good job of keeping me guessing with this one. There were a few twists I figured out ahead of time, but even they twisted again to surprise me.
If you are a thriller fan, I definitely would put this on your TBR list.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this book.
The characters of Kat and Cleo are strong and thoroughly developed. I did not care for Kat at all due to her treatment of her daughter, Cleo, but as the book developed I began to connect with her feeling and as Cleo's relationship with her mother gre so did my feeling for Kat.
The book was a roller coaster ride and I couldn't put it down. I was guessing and changing my mind at every turn of the page.
Thoroughly enjoyed.
Recomnend.

College student Cleo is called home by her overprotective mother, but when she gets home she discovers blood, her mom's shoe, and no mom. The more and more she digs in to find out what happened, the more she finds out her mother is not the person she thought her to be. In fact, most of what she thought of her family is not as it appears. The more she digs, the more her own life is threatened.

4/5 ⭐️ enjoyed the book :) this review is posted to my Goodreads account.
This book was a really quick read for me (3ish hours). Definitely enjoyed the plot but felt like the book jumped in some spots, like the therapy session entries. I think it would have been more interesting to put the journal entries from the mom in there for more background.
The ending was definitely NOT something I expected so hats off to the writer for pulling that one together!

This book starts off with a bang when a college-aged daughter goes to visit her mother and finds her missing- front door open with her dinner still cooking in the kitchen. I liked the way the POV switches back and forth between the mother (leading up to the incident) and the daughter (after the incident). Overall, I thought the pacing was good, but not fast and zippy enough for me to really categorize it as a thriller- so more of a mystery. We get into some of the details of both of their lives (which aren't hugely interesting), but the tension between the back and forth and wanting to know what happened to the mother kept me reading.

This is my first Kimberly McCreight book, and it won’t be my last. This suspenseful novel captivated me in the prologue and kept me wanting more throughout the entire book. Like Mother, Like Daughter takes place in NYC where the mother, Kat, is known as a high-powered corporate lawyer to her family but this isn’t the only lie of hers that will be discovered. Kat is not a corporate lawyer, she is a successful fixer for some questionable clients of her firm. Unknowingly, this has put her and her family in danger. Her daughter, Cleo, is a student at NYU and is going through a rough patch in her relationship with her mother. When Kat goes missing, secrets of her past, her current clients troubles, and her watchful eye on Cleo become known as Cleo tries to find her mother. This twisting story has Cleo discovering secrets about her family that intertwine with her current life all while trying to find out what happened to her mom before it is too late. Throughout the book. The story shows a profound love between mother and daughter and the lengths a mother will go to protect her daughter to show that love and the love a daughter gives in return to do the same. A great twisting read that kept me coming back for more. Can’t wait to read more by Kimberly McCreight.
Thank you NetGalley, Kimberly McCreight, and KNOPF for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. There were so many times throughout this book that I thought I had it solved. I even found myself thinking about the characters and what ifs when I wasn’t reading. If you’re looking for a good suspenseful and captivating story, I would definitely recommend this one!

I loved this book! I feel in move with the author when I read Reconstructing Amelia.
The bot is about Kat, a mother, wife and fixer, who goes missing and appears to be most likely dead.
Kat's daughter. Cleo, knows she sho6ukd let the police investigation but she's inpatient and needs to find her Mom before its too late.

Multiple timeframes and shifting perspectives. Good characterization. A New York setting. Just my kind of novel. Plus twists and turns. Enjoyed it a lot.
Thank you #NetGalley and #Knopf for the opportunity to read an advanced copy.

This was a good, quick read for a Sunday afternoon. The story is told from the perspective of a mother/daughter duo from before and after the mother goes missing. Lots of suspects and red herrings. While I did figure out who was sending the messages pretty early on, the ride getting there was fun and kept me turning pages. I loved the dual perspective and past/present timelines. Definitely give this one a shot!
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Really enjoyed this book. It was not what I expected, and at first the back and forth timelines were a little confusing, but the author brought it all together at the end. The ending was very unexpected and well done. Certainly a page turner.

Great characters, good strong plot line, it certainly kept me guessing! As a librarian, and book club member, I’ll recommend to people looking for a mystery, suspenseful novel. It certainly kept me guessing until the end! 5STARS

Get. This. Book. I devoured this book! My husband even was curious about what was going on because I kept talking about it. I loved the plot line, the way the story unfolded and the characters in the book. It was beautifully written! I will be checking this authors work out more. Highly suggest!

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC. I really enjoyed this read… relatable mother/daughter dynamics, a slow burn mystery and smooth alternating POV. This book kept moving and entertaining the whole way through.

This book had me hooked from the very first chapter. Katrina and her daughter Cleo have had a challenging mother-daughter relationship since Cleo was a teenager. It's been a few months since they have seen each other, and Cleo agrees to leave the NYU campus and go to their family home in Brooklyn to talk to her mother. However, when Cleo arrives, she sees that the dinner her mother has been preparing is burning, the house is in disarray, and one of her mother's shoes is lying by the door with blood on it. Cleo isn't sure what to do now, but she knows she must see her mother again.
There are many twists and turns as Cleo begins investigating what happened to her mother despite the police discouraging her from doing so. The alternating timelines are seamless, and just when you think you have something figured out, there is a new twist. It is a fast read that you don't want to end despite wanting to know what happened to Kat.

Good suspense that is solved in 3 days. A successful female lawyer, Kat, goes missing from her home and her daughter, Cleo, reports it. There are several suspects, husband, work related, childhood past, friend, etc. Book isn’t too long so easy to stay interested in story. Explicit language of daughter not needed and takes away from the book. Good read
