Like Mother, Like Daughter is a smart, twisty, mystery novel winding through the mystery of Cleo's mother's disappearance. Through the novel, we track Katrina (mother's) movements leading up to the disappearance, as well as Cleo's actions from the disappearance on. This book keeps you guessing at the various characters who are adjacent and possibly connected to the mystery. Winding multiple storylines intricately, the author keeps you interested and in-the dark until the bitter end! A fun read. I recommend for fans of mystery's and maternal line relationships. 3.8 stars. Thank you Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

A great premise but I didn’t like how the chapters were divided up, or the story in totality.Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher.

I have not read any of Kimberly's books, so this was a new experience for me. While I enjoyed the basis of the storyline, and the characters were easy to read, it was just...okay. The book as a whole was enjoyable enough to read, but it wasn't until probably the last 10% or so that I was really gripped and didn't want to put it down. As a woman, and a mom to daughters, I liked the examination of that relationship between Kat and Cleo. Overall, not a bad book, but not my favorite thriller.

I really enjoyed this book! It did get a little slow for a bit, but I feel the beginning and ending made up for it. I enjoyed the past/present stories and felt it was easy to follow. Lots of twists and turns to keep you wondering!

Thank you to NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor/Knopf for providing me with the eARC.

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of this ebook.

While this wasn’t my favorite suspense/thriller I’ve read of late, it was well written and the last 20 pages or so really amped up the whole experience for me. There were some developments and twists that were definitely surprising!

This is the story of Kat and her daughter Cleo. Kat goes missing and on Cleo’s quest to find her, many secrets from Kat’s past surface… overall, this was a good story, it just felt a little slow paced for me personally. 3.5⭐️

Characters were semi hard to keep track of and their role in the book but I enjoyed the fact the book was engaging and the twist at the end was anticlimactic but overall still an enjoyable read.

A thriller with lots of twists and turns told from two viewpoints, a missing mother and her daughter who is working frantically to solve the disappearance. I struggled a bit in the beginning with the changing timelines but eventually got into the groove.

This is a fast-paced thriller with a daughter who involves herself in an aggressive search for her mother after she discovered her missing in a mysterious way. There’s so much going that can make your head spin.

Cleo, an NYU student, treats her dad like he’s her favorite pal while her mother, Katrina, has always been there for her throughout the years. And yet, Cleo feels like she’s never been good enough for her critical mother. Like many teenagers, she didn’t really see how valuable her mother was until something happened to her.

Cleo was supposed to have dinner with her but found blood on one of her mother’s shoes left behind and glass broken in the kitchen. Now Cleo had to put the pieces together and find her. Katrina, was a lawyer and while Cleo was searching for her, she came across various hidden secrets. While there was a detective on the case, Cleo was determined to find her mother without much concern for her safety. This kept me turning the pages.

There were dual POVs between Cleo and Katrina which worked well. The different layers of the plot made it compelling to find out more. It was full of twists and a sense that the clock was ticking. Cleo needed to be careful as she kept digging for clues. And yet, things just coincidentally occurred like someone showing up at the right time. I stayed up late to find out how everything would turn out.

My thanks to Alfred A. Knopf and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book with an expected release date of July 9, 2024.

I really enjoyed this book until the end. We spent the entire time getting introduced and attached to so many characters, just to have it end abruptly. I feel like while the major question was answered, there were a lot of things left hanging.

Like Mother, Like Daughter is advertised as a thrilling novel with emotional suspense between a mother and her college aged daughter. Cleo comes home one day to a possible violent scene and her mother Kat missing. The story was too slow and confusing for me to enjoy. We learn many secrets along the way but I wasn't very interested by the end of the book. The book jumps back and forth between present day Cleo and the past with Kat leading up to her disappearance. I usually enjoy books told through multiple timelines but not this time.

Unfortunately this one didn’t work for me. It’s my first Kimblery McCreight book although I have a couple on my TBR. I was really excited to reading this one, especially after such a strong start. Cleo’s mom goes missing and she’s on a mission to figure out what happened to her. I feel the story fell short and dragged on at certain parts. I lost interest quickly, and put it down several times.

Like Mother, Like Daughter is a fun psychological thriller from Kimberly McCreight. From the start to the end, its fun to make guesses, piece together the puzzle, and wonder what happened to Kat along with her daughter Cleo.

The narrative begins when Cleo where discovers burned food in the oven and her mother's shoe with blood on it. The pacing shifts between two timelines. In the forward timeline, Cleo searches for her mother, uncovering secrets she had kept from her. As Cleo delves deeper, she realizes her mother might be involved with dangerous people, and a tragic incident from her past may be connected to her disappearance.

It was definitely twisty-turny, but there were too many characters and false leads for my taste. That being said, I think many people would enjoy this!

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved the concept of this book. I was able to follow along and it was a pretty easy read throughout. However, I was expecting more out of the ending. I felt like I had recently read something with a similar storyline and I was comparing it to that one. I still rate this book a 3 star because it was easy to read, and read it pretty fast. I have already recommended it to a friend who I know loves books like this, and she loves books based in NYC.

Kimberly McCreight did a great job with this one. Loved the secrets revealed. A great story. Thanks NetGalley and Knopf for allowing me this preview.

This book pulled me in from the very beginning. I was unable to put it down until I finished it Cleo and her mother Kat had not spoken for several months. When Cleo finally comes home to meet her mother for dinner, she finds an empty house, dinner, burning, a pool is blood on the floor and her mother is bloody shoe. Cleo is determined to find out what happened to her mother and digs deep into the past, as well as her mother‘s friends and acquaintances. A web is spun that leaves the reader constantly guessing what the outcome might be.
I’d loved the writing, and the relationship expressed between mother and daughter and the difficulties in communication that so many have.
I thank the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to enjoy this compelling book.

Kat had a rough upbringing. At age 4, she was abandoned by her own parents, and then put into an orphanage. Even more unfortunately, this orphanage was not a good place for children to grow up. When her luck turned around, she was adopted by an elderly woman who helped her to overcome her misfortune and become a successful lawyer. Years later, she had a daughter named, Cleo, who she was able to give the life that she had wanted for herself as a child. Kat and Cleo’s relationship was turbulent and strained. Kat loves Cleo so much and always wants the best for her, she was protective to a fault. Cleo rebels, but soon gets mixed up with the wrong guy and the wrong crowd, which causes a bigger void between Kat and Cleo.

Cleo comes home to her mom one day, only to find everything in disarray and her mom nowhere to be found. She quickly learns that her mom is missing. But Cleo is determined to find what happened to her mom and bring her home.

I honestly loved this book. I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump, but if I didn’t have real life responsibilities, this book would have easily been finished in one day. I loved the back-and-forth chapters of Cleo (present) and Kat (past); that, along with the article snippets, therapist transcripts, and journal entries helped keep me engaged and wanting more.

I enjoyed this fast-paced thriller! This book follows two characters- Cleo, who comes home to find her mother, Kat, missing amongst signs of a struggle, and Kat herself in the days leading up to her disappearance. As the perspective switches from before, and after goes Kat missing, we begin to piece together a nearly a nearly list of possible suspects thanks to Kat’s job as a corporate fixer, her conniving separated husband, Cleo’s drug dealing ex, and a mystery from Kat’s past. As Cleo searches for her mother, the reader also get to see a surprisingly deep look into the complex relationships of mothers and daughters.

I’ve liked many of Kimberly McCreight’s books, but I will admit, I was a little hesitant to read this one. I don’t enjoy legal dramas, and the characters job is a corporate fixer made me wonder if this was going to be a little bit dry for me. But I have to say, I flew through this book, eager to find out what happens next!! There are so many storylines and potential suspects that there’s bound to be one that speaks to everyone. For me, I enjoyed the mother, daughter dynamics and watching Cleo discover what she never knew about her mothers past. And while I had figured out much of the ending (or at least had some accurate guesses) the book, still wraps up any satisfying way.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC. I definitely recommend it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, my first Kimberly McCreight book.

Cleo, a student at NYU has been having differences with her by the book mother, Kat. But when she heads home to meet her mom for dinner, she finds Kat missing and knows something terrible has happened. Cleo starts to try to figure out what happened to her mom and uncovers secrets about her family as well as when her mom was younger. The race is on for Cleo to figure out what happened to her mother, before it's too late.

This book was fast paced and I could not put it down. I loved the dual POV's - one leading up to Kat's disappearance and the other after. I would have loved more info on Kat's profession but enjoyed the uncovering pieces we find out throughout the book. The story was twisty and kept me entertained until the end!

Thank you to NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor/Knopf for providing me with the eARC. All opinions are my own.

I loved this book. The mystery and dark feeling throughout kept me sucked in the entirety of the story. While I formulated theories from start to finish, it wasn’t that I was shocked at the end, but that I was so impressed with how the story was told and how it all unfolded. The characters you’re supposed to like are like-able, and those you’re supposed to hate are so very easy to hate, and those you’re unsure of; well, you stay unsure of and you find out the reason why. Everything about this book made me trust my gut instinct and it was incredible how the writer did that. I will absolutely be recommending this book to everyone once it’s published, there should certainly be more hype around it.

A lot going on in the latest from Kimberly McCreight, and I was all about it! Lots of characters to wonder about and Cleo is more like her mother than she thought, and is going to get to the bottom of things!

Always interested in a new read by this author and was not disappointed.
