Mother/daughter relationships are hard to navigate. More so when there are secrets. Cleo’s mother is missing and clues are indicating.that it wasn’t voluntary. As the past is revealed Cleo is gaining a new understating of her mother’s past. This book is an emotional rollercoaster that you don’t want to put down

I thought this book was well written, the characters were realistic. I could absolutely believe the story could happen
The format of the book is each chapter is from a different character’s point of view at a different point on the timeline. I personally don’t care for the jumping back and forth but it is a minor thing.

This one kept me guessing. I really love Kimberly McCreight and worried this wouldn’t live up to her last, but it did. Just what I needed to get out of a reading rut.

I am a huge fan of Kimberly McCreight so I was very excited to see that she was coming out with a new book! In Like Mother, Like Daughter, we meet Cleo and Kat, a mother daughter pair who are not exactly getting along these days. Cleo, the daughter, heads to visit her mom one day, and instead of finding her at home, finds a bloody shoe. Throughout the story, Cleo tries to find out what happened to her mom. Alternating between the past and present, we learn more about Cleo and Kat, the secrets they were both keeping, and finally, the truth. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, and I kept reading to find out what would happen next! I highly recommend it to all mystery and thriller lovers!

Kat and Cleo have a tumultuous mother/daughter relationship. But when Kat goes missing Cleo will stop at nothing to find out what happened to her, putting herself at risk in the meantime. Be sure to check out this suspenseful story by the talented Kimberly McCreight!

I didn’t live this one as much as I hoped I would. I love this author, but this fell short for me. The characters were selfish and whiny. There were several different storylines and I was hoping they would intersect somewhere, but they didn’t so it was almost like reading two drawn out books in one.

Thank you Netgalley. What a ride!! I loved this book!! The multiple POVs and timeline was incredible. This was an incredible mother-daughter story and I couldn't put it down. Highly recommend

Following Kat and her daughter Cleo, two strong willed women, we see events leading up to and after the disappearance of Kat. Both Kat and Cleo must face hard truths in their lives in order to move forward. Told from both of their point of views, this helps the reader explore the complex relationship of mother and daughter. What would Kat do to protect her daughter and what would Cleo do to have the chance to repair her rocky relationship with her mother?
I loved that this book follows multiple timelines - each time I got to the end of a chapter all I wanted to do was keep reading that timeline! Then when I read the next chapter, all I wanted to do was continue the timeline it switched to. It kept the suspense high and the pages turning! I enjoyed the sinister past, the sneaky pharmaceutical scheme, the sketchy side characters, and the secrets that get unearthed page after page.

Kimberly McCreight has done it again! I was so excited to see she had a new novel coming out and this did not disappoint.

Another fun mystery from her. I LOVED the flow of this book. Mixing the past timeline from one perspective, current timeline from another, all while adding in the mixed media of text messages, transcripts etc was awesome. It was fun trying to figure out how it all fit together.

I felt like I figured out a couple of the twists but was still surprised by the end.

Will DEFINETLY be recommending to my friends when this releases in July and until then will remind people that they can read any of Kimberly's books and enjoy it!

Thanks for the opportunity to read this one Knopf and Netgalley!

3 stars. First the few things that I was not a fan of. 1. The length . I would have liked the characters and story fleshed out more. 90 % of my problem with this was I enjoyed the story arc of the daughter more than the mother. 2. There were a couple characters I wanted more out ( the father and Vivienne). Ok..great things this was my first read by the author I was never slowed down and enjoyed the whole story from start to finish(pretty great ending as well. I just wanted more and that's not a bad thing

Suspenseful, challenging, and tense, McCreight writes another nailbiter. It grapples with the past and how it affects the present and possible future between a mother and a daughter. I thought I knew where the story headed, but of course, I did not because the ride ends where and when it's supposed.

4/5

First, I want to say, this was one of those books that I said to myself, should I give up on the first chapter or should I keep going. Well let me say I'm so glad I kept going!
This is a great read full of interesting characters that take you on a twisted ride.

Kimberly McCreight did not disappoint with this one. A great exploration about a difficult relationship between a mother and daughter... and what they will do to save each other.

I have read several books by this author and I always enjoy the plots!

I'm always excited to see when she has a new book out.

Overall I really enjoyed the book a bit kept me engaged throughout!

This was a twisty thriller that kept me guessing until the last possible second. I loved the complicated characters and that the story was told from different perspectives. I felt like there were a few too many people to keep track of, which could just be a me thing. But I did have to stop a few times to remind myself who/what was being discussed. That’s my only critique though! It was a wild ride that i devoured, definitely recommend!

This was a good thriller that kept me guessing throughout the book. I loved the multiple POVs too. At times I would confused on who everyone was and how they were connected, but I just needed to really focus on what I was reading and I would remember.

This had all the components of a book that I love: first person narration, multiple POVs, rich people, New York, and multiple layers of different problems occurring at once. I enjoyed the legal jargon and felt it was more accurate sounding than other books with lawyer characters that I have read. Pretty good plot twist that I wasn’t expecting but guessed right before the reveal. Something that stuck out to me was how well the writing flowed! Such a fun read that I couldn't put down!

Random, but I love when a rich, powerful, snobby, and slightly terrible character uses their power and connections to dig up dirt and help people in a crisis. (Cough, Blair Waldorf.)

Thank you to NetGalley & Knopf for the advanced copy

Secrets, secrets, secrets abound in this book. This book kept my attention throughout. If you are looking for something fast paced this is for you.

I just couldn’t put this book down. There are some parts where it’s a bit slow, but don’t give up. There’s a lot of action & details, a lot of possible suspects & outcomes.

I thoroughly enjoyed how the title was super relevant to the book. Reading how this book floated between the past & present using two different perspectives. The storyline and plot twist was impeccable. Every time I thought I knew what happened, I was wrong.

I wanted to yell at my kindle screen, silently rooting for Cleo. Side eyeing other characters. It was great.

I would totally read this again.


I volunteered to read an ARC copy of this book thanks to NetGalley.

This book started off very good! I was very interested in the story between Cleo and her mom, but as the book went off I started to get bored and felt that it was dragging. I still really enjoyed the thriller, but to me the first half was much better than the second.

Keeping secrets never pays. And when will we ever learn?
Kat has been keeping secrets from her daughter Cleo for most of her life and probably would have kept on, until Cleo comes home, from her NYC dorm, unwillingly, to meet with her mother, with whom she usually has a very adversarial relationship. But at her mother's request, she agrees to come and walks in to find the house empty with food burning on the stove and broken glass with blood on the floor.
The police are called, and her dad comes in to the mess and they both immediately think the worst. As the police and detectives start their investigation, Cleo takes off on a quest of her own to find out what happened to her mother and along the way, secrets of her mother's come to light that are shocking and hard for Cleo to accept.
Good plot with an ending that I never saw coming,
Very good mystery surrounding her disappearance but the storytelling in back and forth presentation, between days leading up to her disappearance and today are confusing at times and not always well synched. Lots of past history introduced on her mom and Cleo herself but not always easy to follow clearly. Taking a few minutes to have to realize you are back in the present takes away from the growing thread of the story,
The characters are well defined and easy to see but some of the storytelling got laborious, for me.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc!! I gave this book a 3.5/5!! There were so many twists and turns that kept me reading. I loved how all the characters seemed to be untrustworthy and I have no clue who to trust!! I also loved the corporate law aspect of the book as a Suits lover!!
