This was a great suspense book that shows that everyone has secrets and will go to great lengths to keep them hidden.

I flew through this one in late July, from what I can recall. This was a lot of fun! Multiple POVs, juicy drama, etc. What more can you ask for? I loved this one, and I actually let my mom read it right after me. She also ate this one up! I had a blast reading it!

"No One Needs to Know" is a captivating blend of thriller and women's fiction, delving into the lives of affluent women residing on the Upper East Side. The narrative unfolds as they anonymously share their secrets on a gossip app, turning their privileged world into a battleground that ultimately leads to a shocking murder.

Surprisingly, this book turned out to be a delightful read. Initially sceptical about a storyline centred on social media, I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the plot. The multiple perspectives from the mothers added depth, and as the narrative unravelled, the blend of humour and suspense made the drama both entertaining and chilling.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for sending a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What would you do to make sure your kid succeeds and gets what they deserve? Well, in this book, you find that out.

This book had all the twists and turns and dark corners that a book could need. The only thing is there were so many characters who were very similar to one another that it was hard to grasp who was who for a while. But I feel like that was on purpose to really keep you guessing. I can honestly say, I did not expect the ending, and I loved that about this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of No One Needs to Know by Lindsay Cameron in exchange for my honest review and opinion. WOW this book totally shocked me by how fantastic it was! I loved it and saw inside the life of the 1% of population and what they will do to get their kids to succeed. Lots of twists and turns that will keep you engrossed until the very last page.

I was really excited to read this one and it was really fun and twisty novel. It took me a few chapters to finally understand and recognize all of the main characters which I was a little nervous about at first because there were so many and their voices weren't super distinct. I did eventually grasp who everyone was and how they were related though. I loved the concept of the UrbanMyth app and was really intrigued by it and how it would move the story along. It really added to the tension building and paranoia each character was feeling. The ending really caught me by surprise and I thought it was clever. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

No One Needs to Know is a standalone crime thriller by Lindsay Cameron. Released 9th May 2023 by Random House on their Bantam imprint, it's 320 pages and is available in paperback, audio, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout.

This is a moody, atmospheric, and tense thriller with a moderately over-the-top premise, and a collection of scary, mostly awful, rich NYC moms. Users of an anonymous app which is *location based* bare their darkest innermost secrets to others in their vicinity (drugs, infidelity, etc). Of course the app gets hacked and murder and skullduggery ensue as a direct result. The action driven plot is full of acid gossip, cringy behavior, and backstabbing.

The writing is the high point of the read. The author is quite adept at setting and dialogue and a deftness with description which, in less talented hands, would have readers running for the exits. It's mean girls on steroids with some Real Housewives thrown in the mix.

Four stars. Enjoyable, despite the utterly bonkers premise. The release version of the book will have some reader's guide/discussion info, and as such would make a good book club selection. It would also make a good buddy read.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

Picture the NextDoor App as a completely anonymous forum with gossip, complaints and questions from your neighbors (in a very short radius) where secrets and danger tumble freely with no traces to the original poster. UrbanMyth, the much lauded app created in Lindsay Cameron's latest novel, does just that and is at the center of the controversy, and, later, murder. When Upper East Side moms Heather, Poppy and Norah, each very different, are brought together over an Instagram scandal, things take a sharp turn. It is boarding school application season and Heather will seemingly stop at nothing for her daughter to be accepted as an elite. Using UrbanMyth as an outlet and entertainment each women is about to have her world turn upside down as the site is hacked-exposing everything and everyone. When someone from their circle turns up dead fingers are pointed and they do not know who trust. Cameron weaves a tail of enormous privilege, wealth and deception in this fast-paced psychological thriller. While the characters are mostly unlikeable (if not un-relatable) readers will enjoy the twists and turns.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

I love a good one percent housewives drama! I thought No One Needs to Know was very well done with a twist ending I didn’t see coming!

No One Needs to Know reminds me that nothing online is ever as confidential as you think it is. I wasn't the biggest fan because it was super unrelatable to me, but a juicy read nonetheless.

*I received a free copy of this novel from NetGalley and Random House Publishing -Ballantine, Bantam for my honest review.*

Lies and secrets and the NYC one percenters! Three mothers are trying to get their 8th graders into a highly desirable private school and they stop at nothing to make this happen. Three mothers with wildly different upbringings so you can see how each one works differently to "help" her child. And then a husband goes missing.

Now all of that would make a good story on its' own, but add into the mix a website of anonymous posts of lying and cheating and stealing and such bad behavior that is shared because it is all anonymous and then suddenly, it's hacked and nothing is anonymous anymore.

It's a great look into the one percenters and how life isn't so great even if you have a bunch of money and opportunities. But I wouldn't say it's so much of a thriller. A good read.

I really enjoyed this one. Maybe it’s because I grew up outside of NYC, or that I lived on the UES in the early 2000’s. The characters though are truly unlikable. I think that’s fine though, I don’t need to like people to enjoy the story. This is a fast paced story, basically revolving around three families with kids at the same UES private elementary to middle school. There is a scandal, and murder that follows. People’s secrets are exposed. Six figure out who the murderer was pretty quickly, yes, did I still enjoy it, yes agin. Definitely worth reading.

Such a fun adult Gossip Girl thrill ride! It’s been awhile since I couldn’t put a book down, and this was such a binge read for me.

🎧I loved pairing the book with the audio and really enjoyed the narration choice.

*many thanks to PRH and PRH Audio, Netgalley for the gifted copy for review

This atmosphere and setting immediately struck out to me as an adult Gossip Girl. A series that I ate up in my youth.

The thriller aspect took a bit to get into which made me loose interest rapidly. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to pick it back up and DNF pretty early on.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing - Ballantine/Bantam for the ARC!

“It was all confidential. Right up to the moment when it wasn’t.”

Really enjoyed this book. It was like Gossip Girl, but with grown ups. Love when bad things happen to bad people, lol. Definitely a page turner.

I really enjoyed this one and flew through it. I kept thinking about it and had a hard time putting it down. A fun and enjoyable read. Thank you netgalley and Random House for the copy.

Really enjoyed this book! I love reading about bad things happening to rich people. Looking forward to more by this author

You can never trust the internet even when it claims to be anonymous. No One Needs to Know follows the residents of the Upper East Side and the things they will do to protect their family's reputation. The residents thought their posts on UrbanMyth, a neighborhood forum, were all confidential until the day the site got hacked. You can never trust the internet with your deepest & darkest secrets.

This was a fun read but could be slow at times. I feel like it could be a good lifetime style movie in the end. Read on for the twists and turns.

Gossip Girl but for grown folks. A blind item website pops up and all the parents at the rich people school in NYC are using it. The only issue is that the website info gets hacked and secrets get out. Really enjoyed this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The premise of this gripping page-turner hooked me from the very start! Lindsay Cameron is such a talented fresh voice in this genre! Loved this book!
