Like Mother, Like Daughter follows Cleo after she arrives at her childhood house in Brooklyn at the request of her mother, Katrina, only to find signs of a struggle. Cleo is a carefree student who resents her mother's seemingly perfect facade -a multimillionaire lawyer who's married to handsome Aiden. In a second timeline, Katrina tells us about the events that lead to the fatidic event and most importantly, who she really is. The two POVs alternate with additional therapist sessions, legal paperwork, journal entries, and witness accounts. Whatever happened to Katrina? Did she leave or was she taken?
This psychological thriller contains very dark themes, but they're told in a respectful way. I love that explores the relationship between mother and daughter so well. As a daughter, what if you discovered your mother isn't who you thought she was? As a mother, what if your troubled daughter was similar to you in ways you could never imagine?
I guessed the whereabouts of Katrina straight away as there's a huge giveaway hiding in plain sight, so to me the ending was very satisfying. Well played! As for the story itself, I really enjoyed trying to figure out who the villian was and how all the storylines tied up together. The subplot with Katrina and Aiden was super intriguing, I kept going back and forth about him, especially after finding out about "that". Oh boy do I loathe Aiden! he's such a loser but, is he capable of harming Katrina? Suffice to say I suspected everyone at every turn of events, but I wasn't expecting THAT twist. WOW! The ending was shocking, I'm speechless!

This one dives deep into motherhood and all its messy, painful, beautiful complexities.
The prologue alone hits deep - terrifyingly accurate, painfully real.
Plot-wise, it was solid. The alternating POVs worked really well.
The first 40% felt a bit slow, and Cleo’s frustration with her mom was intense - borderline suffocating at times.
But once more of Kat’s story started to unfold, the tone shifted and I was hooked. I flew through the rest.
I had a hunch about who was behind it all and was half right, which always dampens the twist for me a bit. That said, there was an extra little turn right near the end that gave it a nice boost.
The ending felt slightly rushed, but it still landed well.
Overall, a satisfying read. The thriller/mystery element was strong, but the heart of the book is the mother-daughter relationship. It was emotional, complex and really beautifully written.
As a mom myself, it was both moving and slightly terrifying - especially with a toddler at home and all the fun still ahead…

I really loved the sound of this book but had to stop reading due to so many missing words and spelling errors. The part I did read was intriguing but I just couldn’t continue although I will try again once the book is released.

The book was okay, the dual pov was interesting ALTHOUGH at times it could be hard to follow.
I personally found it difficult to overlook the continual spelling errors and missing words.
The shock twist at the end was good!
I'd read them again once the spelling errors and stuff is sorted!

GET your seat belt on because it is such a fast and twisty plot! I was immediately pulled in and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! The ending was so unexpected it was truly amazing!
If you are looking for a fast-paced, binge-worthy psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, READ THIS BOOK! I don't think I will EVER stop raving about ‘Like Mother, Like Daughter’
I never saw the end of this book coming. It was fast-paced and kept me enthralled throughout right up until the very last page!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars from me!
