This book definitely got my 5 stars for 2023 read. The twists and turns between mother and daughter were amazing. Long time fan of the author but she really wrote a crazy ride of a story.

A bunch of twists and a mother-daughter relationship suspense should have grabbed my attention right away, but it fell short. I didn't connect with this title like I had with previous stories from McCreight. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Grabbed my attention from the beginning! I wish I could have read this one sitting. It was fast paced and had a lot of information packed in each chapter. When I would return to reading I needed a quick recap of where I left off.

The story was told through multiple POVs: Kat/mom (in the days leading up to her disappearance) and Cleo/daughter (in the time after Kat’s disappearance).

This was a solid 5 stars from me!

Thank you NetGalley, Kimberly McCreight, and Knopf for this audiobook ARC opportunity.

I was so excited to read this but this ended up being super disappointing and predictable. I just wasn’t invested in the story.

This book starts out with a bang. We find out that one MC is missing when her daughter comes home to find signs of foul play. Then it is a backwards slide into events leading up to her disappearance. I was hooked from the start and then when I didn't think I could be shocked anymore, the author throws in one last twist that makes for a fitting ending.

Kimberly McCreight is a new author for me. I couldn't put this book down. It is a fast paced thriller.

Cleo returns from NYU to visit her mom in Park Slope for dinner, only to find a pool of blood and dinner burning in the kitchen- with no sign of her mom. Told from Kat’s perspective before the incident, and Cleo’s after, you try to piece together the story lines.
The story took unexpected twists and kept you
guessing until the very end.
This was a great thriller and i highly recommend.

Thank you Netgalley for my advanced copy in exchange for my honest review

One star. This book was painful to read with a pilot that felt ridiculous. Mosy certainly a do not finish for me. Do not recommend ……..

This was one of my favorite thrillers of 2023 (so I’ll be recommending it like crazy when it officially comes in July of 2024)! This twisty story is one that takes you down many paths and through a variety of characters, but none are “throwaway” plot lines or characters, as McCreight artfully weaves them all together.

This book is told in alternating POVs between a mother and daughter with a strained relationship, as well as alternating timelines, leading up to and after the mother goes missing. It’s interesting reading the mother’s side leading up to her disappearance and the daughter’s perspective as she slowly unravels an intricate side to her mother she never knew existed as she attempts to get to the bottom of her mother’s disappearance.

Even though I predicted some of the twists and turns, it kept me guessing until the end! This is a fast page-turner that I definitely recommend. I’ve never read any of McCreight’s previous works but can’t wait to turn to those after flying through this one!

I love a book that hooks me from the beginning and keeps me guessing all the way through. Even if I did suspect who was involved early on Kimberly McCreight's Like Mother, Like Daughter gave me just enough to keep me guessing and with so many suspects you couldn't be sure who to trust.
Cleo and her Mother are at odds over Cleo's boyfriend, a drug dealer who has been turning their lives upside down. Kat asks Cleo to come by to discuss something important, but when she shows up to find her mother missing and blood left behind Cleo begins to see that her Mother's picture perfect life may be far from it. Is her ex involved? an unhappy client? Something from her past? Cleo's world begins to unravel as she begins to question everything she knows about her Mother.
I loved the mystery, with different timelines and multiple suspects that will have you questioning everything and everyone. I couldn't put it down. I will say that while I love all thing murder/mystery/thriller/romance I am not much for spicy books. While this book wasn't what I would call spicy, there was one intimate scene that left me annoyed. Not because it was too much or too dark like some others but really the description of it was just kind of lame. Fade to black is all I'm saying, allude to it and move on, I'm fine with that, prefer it even.
This book gave you so much to sift through, plenty of suspects, and so many different ways this could go, I loved every minute of it
Thank you Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Alfred A. Knopf and NetGalley for the advanced copy!

In this book, a daughter worked to uncover layers of secrets, history, and plot twists to solve her mother’s disappearance.

I appreciated the complexity of the relationships in this story, especially the parent-child relationships.

The pacing helped build suspense. I was struck by the density of character introductions at the start of the book, but there was a lot of content to get to, so I get it.

I was able to predict the major twist in the book quite a bit before it happened, but honestly, I still liked it.

Thank you to all parties included for giving me the opportunity to read and review this ARC. This book had me guessing from the beginning without a doubt. It took my two tries before I could fully emerge myself into the story. The characters being thrown in made the story very difficult to navigate at times. There were so many characters and at times they way they would be introduced to the story would confuse me as they added nothing to the plot. This made this a hard read as it was just hard to retain so much information in the fashion it was being given to me. My interest in the plot over all is what kept me until the end. The character also felt a bit cliche but the ending was unexpected as I expected the mother to be dead. This was my first read by Kimberly McCreight and I would be hesitant to try another. 3.5 starts rounded up.

Thanks to Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor and NetGalley for the ARC and the opportunity to read and review this title.
I really hate when I can guess suspense novels in the beginning but this was a change. McCreight was dropping details and clues throughout the novel, it was the right pace and did not know the outcome until the last pages. I thoroughly enjoyed the well-written narrative with engaging characters. A compelling read that left me both satisfied and yearning for more twists and turns. I loved the pace of the book and it kept me guessing from the first page right up to the last.

I loved the twisty mystery of what happened in this book! Murder mysteries are so fun to read so you can uncover facts and clues along with the characters to find out what happened. This book had me guessing from the beginning. So many twists and turns. I never knew what was coming around each page and I loved it!!

This book had good intent and the twist was good, I just felt like the book felt very slow to me. There wasn’t a lot of action or suspense like I have found in the authors other books. Overall 3 stars for me.

This was my first read by Kimberly McCreight, and you can rest assured I'll be picking up her backlist. Like Mother, Like Daughter was dark and brilliant and haunting -- and I loved it all. While dealing with some very delicate themes (sexual assault of a minor, for example), the book's pace is unbeatable throughout. Read in two sittings over the course of 24 hours.

This book was very difficult to navigate at times. There were so many characters and storylines to keep up with. The ending fell short for me.

This multiple-viewpoint novel details the lives of Katrina and Chlo, a mother gone missing and a daughter on the hunt for her. While the women have had a tumultuous past, chlo is tasked with learning all the family secrets to find her mom before it’s too late.
One thing I really appreciate about McCreight’s writing is that she drops details and clues throughout the novel, but slowly and tastefully enough that you truly don’t know what the outcome will be until the last 30 or so pages. I really hate when I can guess suspense novels off the bat, so this was a refreshing change! I loved the pace of the book as well, it kept me guessing from the first page right up to the last. Thank you NetGalley and Knofp for giving me an ARC of this book!

This is my favorite author. I have read every book and feel she has some of the most believable thrillers. Yet again Kimberly Mc Creight kept me engaged in a propulsive story of mystery - a young girl trying to find her mother, a mother with a questionable past, and a dubious father/soon to be ex husband.

While this novel was easy to solve and had less surprising twists - the writing still kept me engaged and there was just enough confusion to never be sure if you were correct until the very end.

"Like Mother Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight is a gripping thriller that held me hostage past my bedtime—each chapter urging me for just one more. The storyline took unexpected twists, keeping me guessing until the satisfying end. If anything, I wished for more, as I thoroughly enjoyed the well-written narrative and engaging characters. A compelling read that left me both satisfied and yearning for more twists and turns."

This book was so fun! I blasted through it once I really got going and loved all of the twists and turns it took, as well as how the author brought together all of these different story lines into a way that made sense and kept you guessing. The red herrings were well placed and not at all frustrating, and there was only one big question I had at the end that really doesn’t matter. I also loved the characterization and the exploration of the mother daughter relationship. As a mom to 3 girls with a mom of her own, this hit home. Great thriller!
