I couldn’t put this book down! I enjoy Kimberly McCreight’s writing, so I had to give this one a read.

Like Mother, Like Daughter is the perfect fast-paced & suspenseful novel that will have you guessing all the way up until the end. The characters were so detailed. I really enjoyed the twists, and I didn’t see the ending coming.

Like Mother, Like Daughter is a quick read that’s unlikely to leave a lasting impression.
Chloe’s estranged mother Kat is missing with only a bloody shoe to indicate something has gone wrong. Chloe starts digging in to her mother’s life and is shocked to learn she’s on dating apps and separated from her dad. But as more details are uncovered Chloe will learn that her mother isn’t as perfect as she once thought. Following alternative timelines and narratives between Kat and Chloe before and after her disappearance, the story move’s quickly. However I didn’t find the novel to be very suspenseful or thrilling as reviews promised.

This was an easy read and kept me interested. Just wasn’t super surprised by the ending. :) I would still recommend it to others.

Mother and daughter conflict and drama with a mystery.

Cleo and her mother, Kat, do not exactly get along these days. They've become estranged. Cleo chafes under Kat's controlling manipulations and she tries to escape that influence while attending college nearby. Finally agreeing to come home for dinner to discuss their relationship, Cleo finds the food burnt, blood on the floor, and her mother gone.

Although there were some interesting diversions, this is basically the usual trope where the amazing, well-meaning mother who has her daughter's safety and best interests at heart is misunderstood and treated badly by the ungrateful daughter -- who soon realizes her mother was right about everything. Along with Cleo finally realizing that mother knows best, there's some legal stuff going on as a side plot that was likely included to make the story a bit more interesting and, indeed, that whole aspect of the lawsuit and drug company coverup was far more compelling to me. The backstory about Kat's time at Haven House and the ridiculousness of the boyfriends really turned me off to the plausibility of that part of the book. In short, there was just so much going on all over the place. And, the truth was, I didn't like any of the characters. The conclusion was anticlimactic.

I was able to listen to the audiobook while following along in the e-book ARC provided by the publisher. The two female narrators did an adequate job of voicing the characters; they were certainly dramatic, when necessary, but the production would have benefited from having a male reader as well.

A solid thriller, that fans of the genre will really like! it had a lot of great twists and turns that kept me hooked and the ending was just OK. I was entertained while reading it and did enjoy it, but it just won’t be one. I remember for a long time. Nevertheless, I would still recommend it because it’s an interesting premise and fun to read!

Thank you NetGalley and Knopf!

I am not one that likes to leave bad reviews. With that being said I will not love every book I read, and it is that fact that makes reading so amazing. What may have been uninteresting to me will be the next persons top read of the year.

Like Mother, Like Daughter was far too slow and was unable to continue to carry my interest. I lost my way about halfway in and found it difficult to enjoy this mystery. Too slow, and too boring of characters for me,

A solid thriller with a twist I didn't see coming! I thoroughly enjoyed this one with merging timelines and dual POVs. Very solidly told, good character development with a fun, fast paced plot.

This book really spoke to me in a lot of ways. I have two daughters myself, and my relationship with my mother has been strained in a lot of ways. There are numerous other little things as well, but those are the two most prominent ones.

This book follows Katrina and her daughter Cleo. There are many other supporting "main" characters, but the book is told from their perspectives. There are many moving parts and key players and ideas in this book so it kept me guessing from the time Cleo found a bloody mess at her mom's when she comes over for dinner. This is a great book for someone is looking for a literal whodunit type story.

Thank you Knopf and NetGalley for the eARC of Like Mother, Like Daughter. All opinions in this review are my own.

I've read Reconstructing Amelia by the same author years ago and really liked it so I was looking forward to reading this thriller. Unfortunately, Like Mother, Like Daughter was a miss for me. I felt like there were almost too many red herrings in it so that when the truth was finally revealed, it didn't have the shock factor it should have because there wasn't enough to tie it to the story.

This was a pretty good book and I enjoyed it. The end felt a little anticlimactic, if just felt like there could be so much more. However, I was hooked from beginning to end!

I thought this book might be like Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter. In the synopsis, the daughter is uncovering her mother’s secret life after she disappears. But the similarities between the two books don’t go too much further than that. It is a really fun thriller and mystery, though.

I often got annoyed at Clio, the daughter, with how she acts towards her mom. But maybe that’s just because I’m a mom 😆. And maybe for that same reason is why I liked Katrina the mother.

I felt like as soon as I started this book, I was sucked in, and I hated having to put it down. I loved that besides dual POVs, there were dual timelines (including old diary entries), plus transcripts of Clio’s sessions with a psychologist, and case notes from a lawsuit against a pharmaceutical company. With so many possible suspects and angles, it wasn’t exactly an easy one to solve.

Overall, a fun read to keep you on your toes.

Fantastic!! This book kept me up way past my bedtime because I just had to know what happened next!!

This was so so good! I did skim a little when it dragged but the twists were great and it was really hard to put down!

Definitely recommend for thriller lovers!

Katrina is missing. Her daughter has come home from college only to find a bloody shoe and no known location as to where her mom is
Her dad is acting strange. Seems he's trying to pry money from her mom that was inherited and doesn't belong to him. Only 3 million.
Katrina is a lawyer, and her clients are big pharmaceutical companies that have provided a drug that caused defects in babies, but the drug has remained on the market
Katrina has proof that these companies do not want to be released
So many people could be the cause of Katrina's disappearance

Like Mother, Like Daughter is the new book by Kimberly McCreight who wrote Reconstructing Amelia, a book I loved.

I enjoyed this new book as it is one part mystery and one part Mother/Daughter literary fiction. As the story unfolds, we learn more about the backstories of both Mother and Daughter (Cleo and Kat) and ultimately the pieces fall together with some good twists and surprises.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Like Mother, Like Daughter is available now.

Like Mother Like Daughter was an impressive tapestry of different perspectives, timelines, and characters. I really enjoyed the ways that the relationship between Cleo and Kat were uncovered and grew throughout the novel. Definitely will recommend!

Intrigued by this story of a Mother and her daughter from the 1st page until the last. Not the ending I was expecting! Secrets, lots of secrets, both Mother and Daughter have them. I will look for more books by this author.

Like Mother, Like Daughter is a thriller novel about a mother and daughter who both have secrets that could ruin the other. Kat is a lawyer in New York City who fixes situations for a living but is having a hard time keeping her own past fixed. She goes missing and daughter Cleo will stop at nothing to find her. Cleo has her own issues with a drug dealer ex boy friend and ex best friend problems.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The ending surprised me and not where I thought the book was heading. This is the second book I have read by this author and I absolutely would read her again.

This book has so much to offer--mother-daughter drama, a mysterious disappearance, and a dark, unexpected twist. Definitely worth a read!

Cleo is shocked when she finds out her mum hasn't been fully honest. And then she goes missing. I was all geared up for this book as the synopsis sounded fantastic. Sadly it ended up just being okay for me. I didn't love it nor did I hate it. The story was good and I finished it but I was hoping for more of the wow factor. Don't take my word for it though as there are many fantastic reviews for this one. I hope you love it too!
