You know what they say....nothing is anonymous online....even if you think it is! Here's a twisted tale of just how true that is! Well done.

A good suspenseful thriller that revolves around things that happen due to sharing too much information on social media. The story is told through multiple POVs, which keeps you invested in the main characters and guessing the outcome. Lots of secrets and lies in this quick read. 4 stars

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

If you’re looking for a rich people, suburban drama, this is it. It was a super fast read, although nothing super surprising or shocking, I still enjoyed it and binged it over 2 days.

I enjoyed the mixed media aspect, with the chat boards and emails that were sent. It gave it a fun, modern twist on the everyday thriller.

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

This was a great quick read. The characters were fleshed out well, Heather was very unlikeable but by the end I could at least relate on a minor level with what drove her as a mother. As a whole it was fun peek into New York's upper echelon culture and the tiger mom's and dad's who will do whatever they feel necessary to make their children succeed. It's another example of social media gone wrong and the dark lesson of being able to post TOO easily. It gives a false sense of security for people enough so, they don't realize almost anything will exist digitally long after you think you've deleted it.

So, let me just say that my kids' schools had something sort of similiar. An app where the kids can report Bullying anonymously. It really turned out to be a distaster at the end of the day.

So when I saw this was a book about an app where people can post anonymously, I knew I had to read it! I was not disappointed.
It deals with the wealthy and entitled parents who post secrets on this app. The modern day version of the game "Telephone"
Each of the parents represented a "stereo Type" of the moms out there today
Helicopter Parent
The mom who is living through her kid
The mom who works all the time and has no clue what is happening.

The key to really enjoying this book, was to realize it was almost a satire of what happens with "moms" now a days and how much damage gossip can do.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and the Publisher for the arc!

Thanks for the review copy. This was like Gossip Girk meets Big Little Lies. I wanted to like it more than I did.

I loved this book about what can happen when people share things not meant to be shared on social media forums and then their identity is shown.. Wow, just thinking about all the problems that could cause-and did! One problem after another and lots of finger pointing by the reader as the identity of the person is not revealed. Keeps you on the edge of your seat!

I opened this book and started reading at least six times over the past year. I really tried so hard to like it and stay interested in it. But it just wasn't for me.

3 stars!

I was excited for this because I thought the synopsis gave Gossip Girl or Big Little Lies energy but unfortunately it felt more like a run of the mill thriller. I thought the beginning had a strong start, especially with the salacious anonymous secrets, but the end left a lot to be desired.

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

UrbanMyth: It was lauded as an alternative to the performative, show-your-best-self platforms—an anonymous discussion board grouped by zip code. The residents of Manhattan’s exclusive Upper East Side disclosed it all, things they would never share with their friends or their spouses: secret bank accounts, steamy affairs, tidbits of juicy gossip. The same people who, as parents, go to astonishing lengths to ensure that their children gain admission to the most prestigious boarding schools and universities. So when a “hacktivist” group breaks into the forum and exposes the real identity of each poster, the repercussions echo down Park Avenue with a force that none could have anticipated.

And someone ends up dead.

Is the murderer Heather, the outsider who would do anything to get her daughter into the elite’s good graces and into their even better schools? Norah, the high-powered executive failing to balance work with the emotional responsibilities of motherhood? Or Poppy, whose perfect-on-the-outside façade conceals more than her share of secrets?

Each of them has something to hide.

Each of them will do anything to keep secrets hidden.

And each of them just might kill to protect their own.

this reminded me of Gossip Girl or like Big Little Lies one of those really good drama shows that sucks you in. i loved the scandalous lives of these unlikable women. lol give me anything like Gossip Girl and i will eat that s*** up!

i received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Having a background on the UES, I’m always curious about these books that are in that environment. I thought this book did a good job with the world of the private schools and I did enjoy the read. I did find it slightly a let down how quickly everything moved in the last 1/3, but overall a good read.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House Ballantine Bantam for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Lindsay Cameron - 4.5 stars!

Manhattan is a dog eat dog world, full of secrets, especially for three mothers who will stop at nothing to ensure their children get into the top schools - but does that include murder? Enter a neighborhood internet message board - UrbanMyth - that groups users by zip code and promises to be totally anonymous. So Heather, Norah, and Poppy feel comfortable sharing and reading about each other's secret lives. Until the website gets hacked.

I always like a good domestic thriller and this one definitely fit the bill. It was just a fun, juicy look into how the other half (or top 1%?) live. The story was told from the viewpoints of these three women, along with website posts and emails to the investigators. It's definitely a cautionary tale of social media for both children and adults as well. I raced through this one!

Heather would do anything to get her daughter into the elite private school even if that means starting rumors about other wives and their husbands. Urban Myth one of the top socialites social media pages remains anonymous so there is no knowing what people even think and what is true and what isnt. After a doubles party things start to get ugly as Heathers daughter is posted in a picture smoking and accused of being a drug dealer and Heather is intent on clearing her daughters name. Things get even worse when Urban Myth is hacked and everyones post are out in the open. As things start heating up and getting ugly secrets are discovered and some is dead!

This was a good book. I am not a fan of the high class New York style families and the privileges' they show but I think that this was accurately portraying how cut throat it is. It was full of drama and fiun with also some scandal! I thought it was well written and fun to read. It definitely kept me on my toes!

I really enjoyed this book! It had characters you love to hate, suspense, and plenty of twists. It was a fun thriller that has a story different than most in the genre, which drew me in! It is a great one to discuss with friends as it brings up lots of interesting questions.

Thank you Ballantine and NetGalley for the eARC of No One Needs To Know! All opinions in this reivew are my own.

While reading the majority of this thriller, I really enjoyed it. The tension and mystery are built up really well throughout the book. There were a few times I had trouble keep the three women straight, especially when it came to their husbands and kids, but overall, I liked how the different point of views helped to build suspense.

I typically try not to judge a thriller based on the ending because I recognize how difficult it is to come up with a satisfying ending, but this was one of the most anticlimactic ones I've ever read and it was pretty disappointing.

Because I liked the majority of this book, I want to try this author again!

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.
