I often struggle to stay engaged with books that have multiple perspectives (especially across different timelines) and Like Mother, Like Daughter is a good example of this. It's not poorly written, but jumping between the different narratives was more distracting for me than effective. As a result, I couldn't connect with the story. This was a DNF for me, but hopefully will be a better fit for other readers.

I really enjoyed this book. The way the author wrote and kept you on your toes the whole time.
I like the style of the writing with her daughter and her telling the story, both past and present. It gave the story another dynamic.
I did not want to put the book down and that to me says a lot. I do think the story is a little far fetch but in this case it can be over looked. As someone in another review mentioned, I wonder if there were other alternatives to the ending?
I never heard of this author before but will definitely look into other books she has written.
Thank you for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Kimberly Mccreight gets right into the complexities of mother/daughter relationships when Cleo comes home to discover the fire alarm going off, broken glass, a bloody shoe and her mom Kat missing.
The two POVs, Cleo in the present and Kat in the past leading up to the incident, are intricately woven. Kat’s dark past and high risk present provide many legitimate suspects ranging from her cheating husband who is demanding money from her, to her secret job as a corporate fixer, making problems disappear no matter the costs.
Cleo, has a falling out with her mom several months earlier which now has her feeling regretful for the contentious relationship they had. She is now worried that it’s her poor decisions, ranging from boyfriends to illegal activities that she did as an act of rebellion, that might have put her mom at risk.
Cleo takes matters into her own hands to discover the truth, only to learn that she really didn’t know her mother at all. Only whose fault is that she’s not entirely sure.
The dynamics of a daughter trying to come into her own while her mother has a hard time letting go, is excellently executed and highlights the high stake emotional tight rope that parents and children walk while trying to maintain the foundation of a healthy relationship.
Kimberly Mccreight writes a wonderfully fast paced story that will not only have you guessing until the very last page, but also walk away appreciating your mother, daughter, or both just a little more.

Absolutely stellar writing. There were so many plot twist. Each chapter had me guessing, trying to figure out what happened. Where was her mother? Was she ok? The guilt and the lies made the story even more intriguing. The character development was perfect. The storytelling style keep me so engaged. Both of them had a story to tell and it melded together perfectly. There are many possible suspects with motive. Too suspenseful to put down. As of right now, this is my favorite, most thrilling whodunit. The author is an amazing storyteller. I highly recommend this book.

Wow! What a great thrill ride of a book! Having girls roughly the same age as Cleo, I could relate to the mother daughter relationships in the book. The dual perspectives and timelines worked well to keep me on the edge of my seat right up to the end. Well done!

Cleo thought her mom was overbearing and too involved in her business. When Kat asks Cleo to come to dinner, Cleo is irritated but agrees. When Cleo gets home she realizes something isn’t right. As much as Kat drives Cleo crazy, Cleo will do anything to find out what’s going on with her mom. Full of twists, great book

I enjoyed this one! I have read so many thrillers and I find it hard sometimes to find unique ones. This one definitely kept me guessing, but I found that it had a little too many characters involved. I wish it fleshed out a bit more of the “Haven House” years and what went down with her and her crush Reed. Enjoyable read overall!

Wow, this kept me reading frantically till the end! Be sure you like suspense if you pick this one up - but if you do, it is the perfect read. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Another solid read by Kimberly McCreight. Like Mother, Like Daughter follows Kat and Cleo as they race to find the answers to two separate problems/mysteries. For Kat, it’s who is threatening her daughter by bringing her own past back from the dead. For Cleo, it’s - where is her mother and who hurt her?

Intriguing from the jump - check it out.

This story grabbed me from the beginning. Definitely a must read suspense. I loved the dynamic between Kat and Cleo. Also, the different point of views pulled the story along. The twists were awesome!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really like how the author writes. She is very real with dialogue and it was very easy to connect with the main people in the book. The story was engaging and hard to figure out. I do feel there were too many people involved in the story which made it feel more complicated than it needed to be. I understand why it was all included as it made the reader guess more to what really happened but I feel the excess “work related” story took away from the better part of the story and it was hard to read and engage in as so many different people were involved. I really enjoy the authors books and I will continue to follow her and read her works.

Thanks to Knopf and NetGalley for the ARC. This book had a few moving parts that made it a fast paced well developed read, Great domestic thriller.

Cleo had been harboring some anger towards her mom Kat recently but she acquiesced to a dinner. When she arrives at her childhood home she finds only a bloody shoe. What has happened? Who can help her?

Through a series of flashbacks and multiple pov's we learn about Cleo, her mother and her estranged husband. Something has happened recently to cause Kat's disappearance. Is it too late to save her? A pretty cool twist that didn't completely crystalize, but I enjoyed it! #knopf #pantheon #netgalley #LikemotherLikeDaughter #Kimberlymccreight

Wow! Loved this book, thank you NetGalley.

Told from two different points of view, the mother who has disappeared and the daughter who is looking for her. There are a few different story lines going on that keep you guessing until the very end./

Well written, face paced, excellent read. I am excited to see what McCreight comes up with next.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

The complexities of human relationships are front and center in this complex thriller. Mother and daughter. Husband and wife. Best friends, ex-best friends, lovers and ex-lovers.

Katrina and Cleo are our dual POV characters, mother and daughter, and not only do we have dual POV but also dual timelines. Current day and backstory behind the disappearance.

It’s fast-paced and there are no throw-away characters here. Everyone plays a part and it’s an incredibly well-woven story.

McCreight is a must-read for me and this lived up to the hype. I flew through it in almost 48 hours.

Cleo, an NYU student, never imagines that her visit home would turn into a nightmare. She discovers upon arrival, burning dinner in the oven, a bloody shoe, an apartment in disarray, and her mother missing.
Having grown up in a violent group home, Cleo’s mother Kat has been keeping secrets about her childhood from her daughter. Could this have anything to do with the apparent violence that has invaded their home? Or is it a result of Cleo’s previous dangerous relationship with a drug dealer who her mother strongly and vocally disapproved of?
Kat, a “fixer” at a law firm, also has some very shady and threatening connections that would be happy to see her ‘disappear.’
Or does this apparent kidnapping lead back to Kat’s estranged and greedy husband, Cleo’s father Aidan?
With no shortage of suspects, time running out and secret upon secret being revealed about Kat,
Cleo starts an investigation of her own and realizes she doesn’t even know who her mother is - and how close to the dangerous truth she really is.

I was ready to give this 4 stars but the boyfriend/professor twist was so fantastical I grew frustrated with the last chunk of the book. I thought the pacing in this was good and it was a step up from the author’s last few (I liked her debut but have waivered on some more recent works) but I found the ending to be a bit of a cheap shot to wrap it all together.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Kimberly McCreight’s latest, “Like Mother, Like Daughter” is a great read with a mile-a-minute plot that makes it impossible to put down! At first glance a missing person mystery, we soon are caught up in several intriguing underlying plot lines that speed that novel along. The multiple mysteries at times threaten to go over the line into implausibility, but ultimately edge just close enough to keep us reading to the satisfying conclusion! Definitely recommend! Thanks to NetGalley for the ebook ARC! #LikeMotherLikeDaughter #NetGalley

This is definitely my favorite book by this author. I loved the mother/daughter dynamics. I always love books with different kinds of media within it, so I found the transcripts to be very enjoyable. I did not see the ending coming and was very surprised.

Thank you so much to @netgalley and @aaknopf for the ARC! Kimberly McCreight is an automatic read for me as I have been a big fan since Reconstructing Amelia. I was thrilled to get this one early, and thrilling it was. If you are unfamiliar with McCreight’s style, she jumps around in timeline, in voice, and offers little nuggets of clues in random blurbs sprinkled throughout. I enjoy this as it keeps my attention and makes my brain work to try to figure out the secrets. I also like the contrast in perspectives from a mature woman and a young adult that is in this book as well as Reconstructing Amelia. Cleo does not get along with her mom AT ALL. But when her mom, who is a high powered attorney, disappears, all she wants is to find her. Is the person behind her Mom’s disappearance someone from the past, part of a contentious litigation her mom is working on, or is it Cleo’s fault? Thrillers are my favorite genre and so hard to review because I don’t want to give any of it away, especially when I enjoy a book as much as I did this one. Definitely put this on your summer reading list!!
