Total page-turner that I just flew through. One of those books to just go with and don't overthink the realities or likelihood of these plot points but just go along for the ride.

A fascinating book that combines three narratives into one, thrilling story. I enjoyed the unexpected twists in the story, and couldn’t wait to find out what happened. Each character was unique, but their stories blended together seamlessly. Truly a great whodunnit.

Lindsay Cameron’s No One Needs to Know weaves a gripping narrative around the fallout from a major breach of the UrbanMyth anonymous discussion board, revealing the hidden lives of Manhattan's elite. The novel kicks off with the shocking exposure of secrets—scandalous affairs, hidden assets, and other juicy tidbits—that were once safely concealed behind the forum's anonymity. As these secrets become public, the lives of the Upper East Side’s privileged begin to unravel, leading to a shocking murder.

Cameron skillfully maintains a fast-paced, tension-filled plot as the story progresses. The narrative intertwines the lives of Heather, Norah, and Poppy, each with their own dark motives and personal stakes. The escalating drama and the characters' desperate attempts to shield their secrets keep the reader on edge, delivering a compelling mystery. The novel’s swift pacing and suspenseful twists ensure a thrilling read, capturing the high stakes and the lengths to which people will go to protect their carefully guarded lives.

I enjoyed this! There was lots of drama and hidden secrets. I felt like I was watching a Real Housewives episode. The suspense was great!!

This book wasn't for me. I was bored with the plot. Very Gossip Girl vibes and the upperclass. I just wasn't into the characters at all.

This was my first book by this author. It had "Gossip Girl" vibes and I was here for it. An anonymous gossip website gets hacked and then shares the emails of all the ones posted. But then someone ends up dead! I thoroughly enjoyed this one but felt like there was something missing. I was waiting for a big twist and it just didn't happen! Overall I'd recommend it though.

This book had me hooked from the very beginning. There’s truly nothing like scandal, mystery, and secrets amongst high society New Yorkers. Like gossip girl meets big little lies, only better!

This was a pretty fun read. It reminded me a lot of Big Little Lies in the sense there’s a bunch of rich moms and drama. I think the little blog entries from the fake social media site that the author scatters throughout the book were super fun!
There’s multiple POVs to keep track of in this book but it’s made easy because the character development is there. There’s a twist at the end and I love those.
As for how this could improve I feel like there was some drama in the beginning that could have probably been cut from the book (the kids drama) because I felt it didn’t correlate with the second half of the book. Well done though!

This was very good and hard to put down. Reminded me of Gossip Girl. I've discovered that Lindsay Cameron books are always a win for me.

In a world where secrets are currency and anonymity is a prized possession, the exclusive UrbanMyth discussion board provided Manhattan's Upper East Side elite with a sanctuary to divulge their deepest confessions. From clandestine affairs to hidden bank accounts, residents bared their souls under the guise of anonymity. But when a group of hackers breaches the forum's security, exposing the true identities of its users, the repercussions reverberate through the corridors of power with deadly consequences.

As tensions rise and suspicions mount, the question of who is behind the murder looms large. Is it Heather, the determined outsider willing to go to any lengths to secure her daughter's place among the elite? Or Norah, the high-flying executive struggling to juggle career demands with the complexities of motherhood? Perhaps it's Poppy, whose polished exterior belies a multitude of secrets lurking beneath the surface.

In a world where appearances are everything and deception runs deep, each of these women harbors their own hidden truths, willing to go to any lengths to protect their carefully constructed facades. But as the investigation deepens and alliances are tested, the true extent of their desperation becomes clear, leaving no one untouched by the web of deceit.

This was just okay. I had high hopes for this as it’s described as Big Little Lies meets Gossip Girl, but this was just not as scandalized as I’d hope. The characters were dull and lacked any depth.

An upper class neighborhood forum was hacked and dark secrets are revealed. It was supposed to be anonymous. It was supposed to be confidential. Someone ends up dead.
review
It's like this book was written for me. You know I'm a nosey lady. So ,a book about a forum where people gossiped got hacked? Sign me up! MultiPOV and drama galore! Again, Sign me up!! I really enjoyed this book. It's like a mesh of thriller and neighborhood drama. I really enjoyed the book.
I read and listened to the book. The writing was great. The narrator was awesome as well. I think this one will be on my top 24 in 2024.
Thank you @ AUTHOR @ & @netgalley for a gifted e-copy of this book. It is out now!!

You read or watched Big Little Lies. If you liked that one then I think you'll like this one.
You like a slower book but one that keeps you hooked until the very end
You are a nosey person.


Will post to social media ASAP!+

Twisty mystery about the other half and how they live, with characters you will love and/or hate. Took some time to get into, but an interesting plot and some turn of events that you will not expect. Would recommend!

This was fun and juicy, about secrets among rich people in what feels like an insular small town...but is actually New York City. I liked the timely idea about an anonymous website where people in your town spill secrets and gossip, and the fun of the tangled webs woven by the many intersecting characters. There's just enough romance, intrigue, and finally murder to keep things interesting till the last page. I liked the slightly snarky tone, sense of humor, and good characterizations. The ending was a fun surprise. I would definitely read this author again.

Thank you NetGalley and to the publishers for giving me this ARC in exchange for honest review!


Yet another thriller I had to DNF.

*Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for my honest review*

A great thriller - I would recommend it!

This was an interesting thriller that I would recommend to those who think it sounds good!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher

I really wanted this thriller to work for me, however that was not the case. Has it not been for a review I would have Dnf'd this thriller. I tried to get into the story, but the writing really took me out a lot.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

As long as you take this book as a popcorn summer read, you can really enjoy No One Needs to Know. After reading, I felt like me and my best friend had just gone through a long gossiping session. The characters were memorable with some you'll love and some you'll hate. I didn't really feel a connection with anyone and I had a sense I read something very similar to this before. However, by midpoint, the plot did pick up and become more interesting as the secrets revealed got more salacious. The ending was just ok for me. Overall, an entertaining Gossip Girl style novel for adults.

This was ok, I powered through the last bit because it was very slow for my liking. While it was not for me it could be for you
