Fun, fast paced and a nice quick read! Thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group/Ballantine for the advanced digital copy.

A great, juicy beach read! It definitely lived up to the description and was a fun glimpse into the societal underbelly of pretentious parenting.

I am so thankful to Random House Publishing Group/Bantam, Lindsay Cameron, and NetGalley for getting advanced digital and physical copies of his book before publication day. What a seriously twisted and demented tale needing to be told. I am literally living for this book.

If you enjoyed Gossip Girl then this book is for you!! Set in New York City this book highlights what lengths parents will go to for their children. I enjoyed the many different characters and the plot line itself. To see how the other side lives is just fascinating and the privilege that comes with having a family name and wealth was highlighted very well. I also liked that the author reiterates that everything you put online stays there. Again if you liked Gossip Girl you will for sure enjoy this book. I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I loved this light heartless, can’t look away book. The thing about this book is that most of the characters are unlikable which typically rubs me the wrong way, but watching their lives implode was so fun. The juicy gossip and secrets made this unputdownable. I really loved it.

I’m not sure how I feel about this book. I wanted to like it and It did not catch my attention!

I would recommend this to other friends of mine.

Thank you to Random House Publishing-Ballantine and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC!

This story about had a few different focuses to tits plot - one being the destruction of an innocent girl’s reputation and how her parents handled the situation (not well) and the secondary one being a hacked website where people from this community shared their darkest secrets. It makes you think twice about posting things online.

Lindsey Cameron spins quite a story, told from several different perspectives. It took me a little while to get into the book but once I did, I didn’t want to put it down!

Thank you NetGalley for a chance to read this book. But ooof where do I begin, because this book was a slog. I feel like the marketing is wrong for this book; the first sentence of the summary doesn’t happen until 70%. It gives vibes of Big Little Lies/middle age Gossip Girl, but honestly was wasn’t well executed. The Instagram “scandal” had me rolling my eyes. The end seemed to come out of left field and I found that I just didn’t care. I wish I had gone with my instincts and DNF’d at 20%

Many thanks to Netgalley and Random House for the e-arc! So I requested this book because I loved Cameron's other work Just One Look (I gave five stars and absolutely loved it). Maybe it was my over hype but I felt that this book fell flat. I was kinda bored during this middle and didn't feel that the end was a worthwhile conclusion. Saying this however, I look forward to reading Cameron's other novels in the future.

I love anyhting involving rich and unhinged characters with dark secrets, and this book scratched that exact itch! I agree with other reviews that this book gives "Big Little Lies" vibes, but I love the addition of social media to the plot. It definitely takes about the first 30% of the book to get really invested in the plot/characters, but once you get going, it was hard to put down!

Eh, I felt like this book dragged on and didn’t deliver on suspense and plot. I found it hard to differentiate the characters which led to trouble following important plot points.

I read No One Needs to Know in less than a day. I at times wanted to shake the characters but I kept reading to know what would happen. It was not my favorite book because I found almost all of the characters unlikeable.

UrbanMyth, the anonymous platform where those in your zip code can share whatever is on their mind. It’s been used to share secrets people would never tell their friends in real life, from secret bank accounts to steamy affairs.

But when someone turns up dead and a “hacktivist” breaks into UrbanMyth, exposing the real identity of those who’ve posted, everyone scrambles. It’s clear the residents of the Upper East Side have secrets, but would they kill to keep them?

The concept of UrbanMyth was a really interesting one. It gave me Gossip Girl meets Desperate Housewives vibes which I loved!

It’s been fairly established by now that multiple POV is my favorite so I was so glad to see it play out here. I also really enjoyed seeing the different formats of posts from UrbanMyth and emails to police sprinkled throughout the chapters.

While I did predict some of the twists, I did not see that ending coming. Which is usually a great thing but with this story I was a little conflicted on how to feel about it. I love that it surprised me but not sure I love the actual ending in itself.

This was my first by the Lindsay but she’s definitely made my list of authors to watch!

This is my second novel by Lindsay Cameron & I can truly say I am a fan. Both books have been quick paced, kept my interest, and the stories felt new and fresh. I am always down for an elite upper crust NYC story and even better when it's a thriller. Thank you to NetGalley and Bantam books for an ARC of No One Needs to Know. I look forward to whatever she puts out next.
4 stars

I saw some rave reviews of No One Needs To Know and I was very excited to dive and and see what all the hype was about. Ultimately, I liked this book but did not love it. The gossip was juicy and it kept me guessing but I just wanted more from this book. I will still look to read more from this author!

No One Needs to Know by Lindsay Cameron

If you’re looking for drama look no further than this Upper East Side tale. Beware of what you post anonymously on the Internet because it might not stay that way.

There are a lot of stories (and a lot of lies) to keep up with because of the number of characters but I thought this was a fun ride.

Thanks to @netgalley and @bantambooksuk for this advanced reader!

Tagline: Juicy gossip about rich people? It’s my catnip, and this book delivered!

Full review to come on FreshFiction.com.

I think the synopsis of Big Little Lies meets Gossip Girl sums it all up via the blurb.

This focuses on three families whose children all attend an Upper East Side school vying to get into the prestigious Andover school to boost their resumes for college. While this starts out at being the goal, it veers a bit and we focus on the adults and the boarding school/admissions plot falls a bit to the wayside.

UrbanMyths is the anti Social Media to a degree. You can post but its all anonymous, want to kill your husband, sure post it, want to have an affair, why not. Its more of a venting outlet that know one will know who you are. Until they do. All three mom's have secrets to share and they are all intertwined and posted on this website. As mentioned above the original plot focused on the plight to get the kids into the boarding school, but then we take a turn and see to what extent people will go to be rich and privileged.

This was for sure a fast read and I couldn't put it down. Was it earth shattering - No! But like the proverbial train wreck I could not put it down and had to see where it all ended up. It lacked that oomph I wanted but to hold my attention and just see where it landed was good enough for me

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for advanced copy in exchange for an honest review

The anonymous app, Urban Myth is a place for the residents of an exclusive upper East Side neighborhood, to vent, share secrets, and share advice.

The story is told with excerpts of the scandalous postings and alternating points of view between Heather, the helicopter parent, Poppy, the Queen Bee, and Norah, the business exec. Unfortunately for them, the site may not be as anonymous as they hoped. The site is hacked and identities are threatened.

Then a husband goes missing.

Pop the popcorn and let the games and drama begin!

This was an addictive fun read. Rich people behaving badly is not a new premise, but this one had the added themes of oversharing on social media, parents who will stop at nothing to get their kids into prestigious universities, and a murder investigation.

*I received a digital copy for review from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

"No One Needs to Know" is a thrilling psychological thriller filled with jealousy, revenge, and scandal among the wealthy. The story explores the high-stakes world of the privileged and their obsession with social status. As secrets are exposed and confidential information leaks out, no one is safe. With a jaw-dropping plot and intriguing characters, this book offers a captivating look into the lives of the uber wealthy. A great read that delves into the dark side of wealth and power.
