Thank to NetGalley for this advance copy of Kimberly McCreight’s upcoming release. There are a lot of layers to Like Mothers, Like Daughters. Initially you learn of a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of pregnant mothers against Darden Pharmaceuticals claiming they disregarded risks to pregnant patients and their unborn children.

Katrina is an attorney working with the firm representing Darden who has disappeared. Her daughter Cleo, despite a rocky relationship with her mother, is worried and scared and trying to find what has happened. The book is laid out from the perspectives of Katrina, in the days leading up to the disappearance, alternating with Cleo in the hours after. Relationships are revealed, past and present, of both Katrina and Cleo. As Katrina says, “Maybe no relationship was perfect. Maybe nothing was what it seemed.” The story is unveiled gradually with secrets revealed and twists that add to the complexity and suspense. A really good read.

This will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat! You’ll second guess everything and love every minute of it!

I really enjoyed this twisty thriller, Like Mother, Like Daughter, by Kimberly McCreight. This was my second book by McCreight, and I liked them both.

Katrina (Kat) is a fixer, but everyone around her thinks she is a patent lawyer, including her daughter Cleo. Cleo is a college student and in and out of trouble. She recently dated the campus drug dealer, and Kat's worry about her is limitless. At the beginning of the book, we learn Kat is missing - quite probably as a result of foul play. The book moves back and forth through time, mostly focused on the days leading up to when Kat goes missing and the present-day search for her (with a few forays into the further past).

We immediately start to suspect Kat's husband, Aidan, but the story unfolds with plenty of curveballs along the way. I felt empathy and sadness for the difficult relationship Kat and Cleo navigated. Anyone who's struggled with the push/pull of mother-daughter will probably identify with some aspects of their challenges.

Overall, an engaging read that kept me surprised up until the end. Recommended. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

For those like me who enjoyed "Reconstructing Amelia" and "A Good Marriage," Kimberly McCreight's latest novel "Like Mother, Like Daughter" is another fast-paced and twisty suspenseful story where you will be quickly flipping the pages in anticipation of what's going to happen next.

I found the alternative POVs and timeframes - Katrina in the past and Cleo in the present - compelling and easy to keep up with. They are the most important people in the story by far, and while neither one is perfect or even close, they are still sympathetic in many ways. I also wasn't sure what the conclusion would turn out to be, and always enjoy an unpredictable turn of events.

My one stumbling block was there were a lot of other side characters whose names sometimes blended together to me, including Katrina's coworkers and clients, her friends and neighbors, and people in her past. There are a lot of people to suspect, and you can never be sure of their true motives.

All in all, this story had an interesting mix of a scandalous business plot and a personal scandal from the past that combined to keep it interesting and keep me guessing.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC I received in exchange for my honest review.

This was excellent and it kept me engrossed throughout the entire book. I highly recommend that you read it. It is hard to put down!

Like Mother, Like Daughter opened with an intriguing situation, and kept me guessing as to what would come next all the way to the end. The characters were relatable, even if very different from anyone I know, and made me want to see how the events of the plot played out. That being said, the plot moved somewhat slowly for me in places, and the ending was somewhat anti-climatic. After the lead up, I expected something more at the conclusion. I would still recommend the book to friends or readers I know enjoy this type of story.

Great book, kept you guessing the whole time, I loved the realness of the mother/daughter relationships.

I loved this book!! What happened to Cloe's mom Katrina? Was she murdered? kidnapped ? Did her own dad murder her mom?? So many questions that need to be answered! Cleo is on the search to find out where is her mother and what was going on in her life? Not only does this book have so much mystery this is a very complex story of a mother and daughter relationship. How well do you really know your own mother and her past? Excellent book and such a great page turner! Love!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book! It did take me a while to get into but once I did, I was hooked. I loved the character development through the different formats used throughout the book (character journal entries and character therapy session transcripts). I thought there were a lot of good twists and turns throughout the book. My only complaint was the amount of cuss words (f words and others) and although it was needed to tell the story, the amount of references to drugs.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish, and genuinely didn't see any of the twists coming, especially the biggest twist. The beginning had a big rush and the middle slowed down a bit, but it was all worth it for the ending. The ending had me at the edge of my seat and I fighting sleep in order to finish the book. Kimberly McCreight is quickly becoming one of my favorite mystery/thriller authors.

Kimberly McCreight, author of Reconstructing Amelia, is quickly becoming a favorite author. I received an opportunity to read Like Mother, Like Daughter early through Net Galley and thoroughly enjoyed it. We follow Katrina, Kat, a mother with a past and her daughter Cleo. Their stories intersect throughout the book on a roller coaster of a cat and mouse game. No spoilers so please add it to your book shelf to read. You won't be disappointed. Many thanks to Net Galley.

Kimberly is great at making the most insignificant details seem insignificant... even when they hold tremendous weight in these characters' lives.

I am terrible with spoilers, so I will leave my review at that.

Cleo returns home to find food burning on the stove and her mother missing. Cleo discovers her mother is a fixer and has her own secrets to hide. Twisty thriller that's had to put down.

This was an incredible book. It had me hooked from the very beginning. I love a good mystery and this did not disappoint. Impossible to figure out who were the good guys and the bad guys. Everyone was suspect. This is the first book I have read by this author but it won't be the last.

I had the opportunity to read an ARC through NetGalley.

Katrina is an overbearing and meddling mom. Cleo is at an age and a point in life where she is done with her mom involving herself in all her business. To stop Katrina's pleas to see her, Cleo heads home one evening and finds that her mom is missing. Cleo, unwilling to sit around and wait, she does what her mom would do and starts the search for her. The story then weaves back and forth from before and after and the perspective of both mother and daughter. We learn a lot about both women and how in the end they are truly alike.

I have long been a fan of Kimberly McCreight and have been excitedly awaiting this book.
It did not disappoint. I have already been telling all my friends to add it to their TBR lists.
The saddest part is now I have to start the wait again for her next book!

"Like Mother, Like Daughter" by Kimberly McCreight is an intriguing mystery. The well-crafted plot, filled with unexpected twists, keeps you hooked, while McCreight's insightful portrayal of relationships adds depth. A must-read for those seeking a compelling and memorable story.

Like Mother, Like Daughter was an engaging quick thriller read. This was my first book by Kimberly McCreight and I was happy that I tried a new author.

Cleo and her mother, Kat don’t get along, but when she agrees to meet her mother she wasn’t expecting to find a broken glass, food burning and blood on the floor. What ensues is a page turning back and forth point of view from both women as both are hiding secrets. The author does a great job of portraying a strained mother daughter relationship and how our upbringings affect the way we raise and parent our children.

The storyline is tense and twisty with a great epilogue that wraps up the book perfectly.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

What a thriller!! I was absolutely on the edge of my seat. There are so many twists and turns I did not see coming. The relationship between mother and daughter was very interesting as it developed. I highly recommend!

When I find myself happy to be reading a little each day instead of racing to finish it, I know it’s a 3 star read. It started out strong, and I enjoyed the mystery of Kat’s disappearance. I found the mother’s job interesting and liked how they tied in people she worked with. The ending was satisfying. Thank you to Knopf, Net Galley and Kimberly McCreight for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

What an amazing book! The plot had so many twists and turns, and when I thought I had it figured it out, I was proven wrong. I throughly enjoyed this authors writing style and the length of the book was the perfect amount!
