Without giving too much away, I can confidently say this book is PERFECT for those of us who love a good neighborhood drama + social media “whodunnit.” The ending left me feeling a little less than satisfied, but all in all, I truly enjoyed reading this title.

A story about private school mothers and the secrets they hold. There is cheating, blackmail, and intrigue in this story. I think it could've done more flashing between detectives and the buildup to add more intrigue. It also was clear (at least to me) who was going to wind up dead. I think having it be more of a twist would've been more suspenseful.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Humm a number of women that conspire. To what you will need to read and then figure out if they did or didn't. Women with their phones attached at all times. Made me wonder if they sleep with them instead of their men.

Not a bad read.

4.5 stars raised to a 5! The novel basically tells the stories of Heather and Oliver, Norah and Bennett and Poppy and Harris. All three couples are Upper East Siders with children in the 8th grade at a posh private school. The women are all deeply involved in the school and in ensuring the enrollment of their children in the “right” boarding school for high school and ultimately an Ivy League College. They are also involved in not great marriages, misinforming their spouses whenever convenient and leading the lives that are most beneficial to them. None are particularly likable people but, thanks to a complex and well written plot, the reader really wants to know what happens next. Thanks to Net Galley and Bantam books for an ARC for an honest review.

3.5 stars. This was a very good domestic suspense novel. The characters were believable although for the most part unlikable. You could totally see the super wealthy behaving like these parents to give their children every advantage. It can be a little slow at times but the story will pull you in. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC.

This was my first Lindsay Cameron book and it was a quick and fun read. A glimpse into the lives of Manhattan's wealthiest people - check, adults behaving badly - check a secret message board that exposes everyones posts - check. The chapters alternate narrators giving you a glimpse into the different lives of parents, the ridiculously wealthy mom, the working mom and the one who will do everything she can to make sure her daughter has every opportunity out there. This was a slow build , which had the ending feeling a little rush, but for me, but the last 50 pages FLEW as secrets push people to the edge, the pieces start coming together and you learn what people are willing to live with. No One Needs to Know would be a great beach read or one you pick up when you're looking to get lost in a light read that feels reading a gossip magazine (with a darker side of course)!

Thank you NetGalley and Bantam for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I was so excited to read this one. It was just ok for me. I was hoping for more of a thriller. It did have good suspense and drama but I was hoping for more. I've read a few books lately about rich people, popular schools, etc so maybe I am just over that premise at the moment. I would still recommend to others!

This book introduced the "Upper East Side" of wealth and entitlement, when it comes to the future of the off-spring...and the secrets the "Upper Crust" holds.

You get to know the three main-characters: Two ladies that grew up in splendor and one that had to work at it.

Some do not have to do much, to get their children's start in life, while another has to fight for it - no matter, what clubs to join and thousands of $ to shell out.

Sometimes I felt sad, about how shallow the characters were - I can't imagine, that there is any joy in "Keeping up with the Joneses" and that money and status are even something to endlessly work towards to.

However, other than the Upper East Side High Society, those ladies have serious issues AND secrets.

The more I read and the better I got to know the characters, the more I enjoyed it.
It reminded me a little of such old shows as "Dynasty" or "Falcon Crest" for some reason...

The end was not what I expected, but it made me feel good.
Everybody got their share - it's like justice was served.

I would recommend this book !

‘Rich women doing bad things’ is definitely one of my favorite tropes! This one is about competitive parenting for coveted boarding school spots and the game is ON even if someone has to die! I really enjoyed reading the “UrbanMyth” excerpts, a place where locals can anonymously post anything from a simple question to confessing their own bad behavior (ie. “I shoplift for the fun of it” or “how do I take out a loan without my husband knowing?”). The comments were hilarious! I thought this book was smartly written and compulsive to read. Fans of Big Little Lies will enjoy this story. Thank you Netgalley, Random House Publishing-Ballantine, and the author for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. This book will release on May 9, 2023.

This felt more like a domestic suspense novel than a thriller, but I still liked it. It reminded me of Big Little Lies - rich people, private school, lies, deception, and death. It wasn’t my favorite book by Lindsay Cameron, but it was a solid read.

This one totally missed the mark for me. I was expecting more of a thriller angle, but what I found was nothing more than gossip and drama about a small part of society I couldn't relate to. The app with anonymous posts want interesting, but it wasn't enough to carry the storyline and keep me engaged. The format of the book was a bit confusing. There are too many shallow characters to try and track, and I never grew to care about any of them. If you're looking for a mindless beach read, this may fit the bill.

Talk about more money more problem. What a bunch of unlikeable, corrupt, lying, stealing , cheating characters… and you can’t stop reading.

No One Needs to Know is more Big Little Lies than a thriller. It was a very slow burn story and I think it was misclassified as a thriller. It reads more like Gossip Girl for grown ups. The book did pick up around the 60% mark and the ending was good which is why I gave it 3 stars.

No One Needs to Know is a novel about 3 women who are apart of the higher class in New York. These women will do anything to either excel further in their social class or to keep that high status, but how far will they go? Tragedy strikes when there is a huge data leak on a their neighborhoods forum revealing their dark secrets, and someone ends up dead.

This book was really fun to read, the dramatics were perfect and i really liked how this book made me feel like i was watching an episode of dynasty with how much drama was going on. This isn’t much of a thriller like i originally went into this book thinking. Also there was no character development like I would’ve liked , and the ending seemed really rushed in my opinion. For that i will be giving a rating of 3 stars. I feel like if this story wasn’t as lackluster in the end it would’ve been 4 stars but i really feel like it didn’t hit the mark.

Thank you NetGalley and Bantam for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book.

Poppy, Norah, and Heather are all wealthy moms on the Upper East Side. They’ll do anything to get their eighth graders accepted into elite schools, however, when the anonymous confession site UrbanMyth gets hacked, all of the secrets of the UES elite are exposed, and everyone’s a suspect when one of their own winds up dead.

NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW by Lindsay Cameron was such a fun read! I love reading about messy rich moms and this book delivered that and more.

We alternate among the perspectives of three moms, Poppy, Norah,and Heather, with each of their POVs hinting at secrets that they’re hiding. These points of view are intercut with posts from the anonymous site UrbanMyth (LOVED THE TEA HERE!), and emails with a detective from the local precinct, which made it so easy for this book to be binged!

There was just the right amount of tension, and this one has me excited to finally pick up Cameron’s previous book JUST ONE LOOK!

Big Little Lies and Gossip Girl fans rejoice! This one is for you!

Huge thanks to NetGalley, Random House Ballantine, and Bantam for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Publication Date: May 9, 2023

The setting is the Upper East side of Manhattan. The elites will do anything to get their children into the best private schools and ivy league colleges. The story centers on three main characters with secrets. Each character was written very well from their own point of view. I found them to be flawed but likable. The parents use an anonymous neighborhood app called UrbanMyth. This platform is used to confess secrets, ask questions and gossip. When UrbanMyth is hacked and all of their anonymous secrets are made public everyone panics leading to a possible murder. This book was well written, highly entertaining, and a fast, easy read. I could not put it down. If you like books about the rich behaving badly, secrets, gossip, and a little mystery, I highly recommend it.
Thankyou to NetGalley and Bantam Publishing for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A fun read but didn't find any of the characters likeable. As for thrillers I didn't find this as "thrilling" as some of the other books I've read this year. Maybe its because I don't find the college admissions scandal piece to be exciting.

This story sucked me in right away and I devoured this book in a day! The plot, pacing and characters were spot on.

It’s an interesting glimpse into a world that is completely foreign to me (the 1% old money set) and I’m thankful for that. There is so much competition, backstabbing and jealousy scattered throughout this tale.

My only criticism is that the story concludes rather abruptly and a bit too neatly. I wasn’t unhappy about the turn of events but it was a bit silly, too convenient while leaving some threads unanswered. I still thoroughly enjoyed this story and will check out more by this author.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for a copy of this story in exchange for a review.

Thank you to NetGalley, the Publishers, and Lindsay Cameron for allowing me a chance for an ARC of No One Needs to Know! This is a quick read and definitely keeps you on your toes. What lengths would you go to for your children to be set up for their futures? What happens when all your anonymous secrets come spilling out for everyone to see?! I hoped for a little more character development - I didn’t get to attached to any of the characters, but I did enjoy the plot!

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

This book is like Gossip Girls but for adults. It's juicy. It's salacious. It's unputdownable.
The story follows three women: Heather, Norah and Poppy. They're all residents of Manhattan's exclusive and coveted Upper East Side, but not all of them are created equally. While some are eye-wateringly wealthy, others have to struggle to stay within the 1% While some vie for the position of top dog in this exclusive social world, others don't care about keeping up with the Jones. But there is one things these women do have in common: They all have dark secrets and will do anything to keep them hidden. But secrets are a burden and UrbanMyth, an website where you can post questions (and dark secrets) anonymously, is the perfect place to unburden yourself.
Unfortunately for them, UrbanMyth gets hacked and all the dirty little secrets of the 1% start spilling out for everyone to see. Which complicates things considering someone has been murders and one of these women might just be responsible.

I really enjoyed this one! I do love a scandalous tale, especially one that's well-written and keeps me guessing. While there is a murder mystery at play, the real tension lies in the secrets the MCs have and if/when those secrets will be exposed. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for their worlds to implode.

While the end was wrapped up fine, I wasn't a big fan of the final chapter. It seemed anticlimactic after all the buildup we had so far. I guess I was wanting one more twist to make it more devious/to make it match the tone of the rest of the book, but it didn't come. I was also hoping for an Epilogue. I really wanted to know the fate of our three MCs when it was all said and done. Maybe one will be added before publication? Fingers crossed!

Overall, though, I did really enjoy this book and recommend it to fans of Gossip Girl, Liane Moriarty and Mary Cobb.
Also, I read the Kindle version, but I think this story would be fabulous in audio format and will no doubt get the Audiobook when it's available.
