About this listen
NATIONAL BESTSELLER! • From the New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia: A daughter races to uncover her mother's secret life in the wake of her disappearance • "A breathless, shocking thriller." —Jodi Picoult
The past never stays buried for too long, and what you don't know can definitely hurt you.
“Deeply satisfying”—Angie Kim • “Gripping and bingeable."—Ana Reyes • “As suspenseful as it is thought-provoking."—Greer Hendricks
When Cleo, a student at NYU, arrives late for dinner at her childhood home in Brooklyn, she finds food burning in the oven and no sign of her mother, Kat. Then Cleo discovers her mom’s bloody shoe under the sofa. Something terrible has happened.
But what? The polar opposite of Cleo, whose “out of control” emotions and “unsafe” behavior have created a seemingly unbridgeable rift between mother and daughter, Kat is the essence of Park Slope perfection: a happily married, successful corporate lawyer. Or so Cleo thinks.
Kat has been lying. She’s not just a lawyer; she’s her firm’s fixer. She’s damn good at it, too. Growing up in a dangerous group home taught her how to think fast, stay calm under pressure, and recognize a real threat when she sees one. And in the days leading up her disappearance, Kat has become aware of multiple threats: demands for money from her unfaithful soon-to-be ex-husband; evidence that Cleo has slipped back into a relationship that’s far riskier than she understands; and menacing anonymous messages from her past—all of which she’s kept hidden from Cleo . . .
Like Mother, Like Daughter is a thrilling novel of emotional suspense that questions the damaging fictions we cling to and the hard truths we avoid. Above all, it’s a love story between a mother and a daughter, each determined to save the other before it’s too late.

This is all my husband Theo and I have ever wanted, but I didn’t think it was possible. I should be excited, but all I can think about is telling my stepdaughter. Because Ellie’s always hated me, ever since she realised it was no longer just her and Theo. Now she’s seventeen, beautiful and smart–smart enough to see through me. And if Ellie decided to uncover my secrets, it wouldn’t be just my marriage at stake… it would be my life.

Critic reviews
A CBS New York Book Club Pick
“I think you’ll be into it. I love a summer mystery.” —Jenna Bush Hager, the TODAY Show
“A deeply satisfying nail-biter that is, at its heart, a beautiful love story of a mother and a daughter who must dig through each other’s secrets to find true connection and save each other. I couldn’t put it down.” —Angie Kim, international best-selling author of Miracle Creek and Happiness Fallsm
“Gripping and bingeable, Like Mother, Like Daughter revolves around a realistically complex relationship between a mother and her estranged daughter. I rooted for Cleo and Kat as they raced to save each other from menacing exes, a tragic past, and a dangerous present. I had plenty of theories reading it yet the ending caught me totally off guard!” —Ana Reyes, New York Times best-selling author of The House in the Pines
"I am a huge fan of Kimberly McCreight’s books and she has done it again. A gripping thriller that explores the challenging complexities of the mother-daughter relationship and the immense pressure that society puts on mothers to do and be all things, Like Mother, Like Daughter is as suspenseful as it is thought-provoking. I couldn’t put it down."—Greer Hendricks, best-selling co-author of The Wife Between Us

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Excellent. You won't be disappointed!
I am pleasantly suprised to find a first rate novel after a series of mediocre ones. A great plot, interesting characters, including minor ones, a plot that hung together very well, kept my attention, had terrific plot twists, was believable, well paced, all in all a great novel. Even a good narrator. You won't be disappointed.

Cleo’s narrator fell short
The story was ok but I found myself having a hard time getting into it mainly because of the person performing Cleo’s chapters. She made Cleo sound much younger and whinier than she was supposed to be and didn’t change the influx in her voice much between characters to differentiate them. I felt like it hurt the story.

I have loved all of her books. This was really disappointing… And the narrators voice for the daughter was terrible. Super annoying. Ended up listening at a 1.8 just to finish.

Narration
Story was good, kept me intrigued . Did not like the narration for Cleo…. The narrator did not change tone or voice between characters which made her role/ narration very confusing as to who was speaking. She kept the same monotone voice throughout.

Unbelievably good!
I joined a book club and this is the first book I read with them (well… listened to). I didn’t read the summary and just dove in. The title made me anxious it would be touchy feely and about some fictional mother and daughter’s relationship evolution. Honestly… it was, but in such an unexpected way. The storytelling mechanic was really enjoyable - mom starting from the past and moving forward to current, the daughter starting at current and working her way into the future. The allegory of that mechanic alone was brilliant. But then BOOM it’s a mystery!! There’s crime and intrigue, layers, drama, and personalities that feel very real and relatable. The story progresses almost immediately and gets you hooked right away. I had multiple iterations of “oh it’s that guy” or “oh I’m POSITIVE it’s her”. I listened to this while on a work trip; while on the plane on my way home, I realized I had three hours left in the book and I said out loud to my seat mate “I am absolutely on the edge of my seat and have no idea how they could possibly wrap this up in so little time - I am stumped as to what happened!!!” I may actually re-listen ahead of my next book club meetup so I can go with the freshest perspective. I’m eager to hear what nuance I missed or to discover foreshadowing that was previously hidden to me. Brilliant voice acting by the cast, amazing storytelling and world building by the author, and excellent casting by the publisher. No notes. Highly recommend!!!
I will say - trigger warning for folks listening without context like I was, there are some brief but detailed/specific descriptions of sexual assault in this book that I was not prepared for. It ended quickly and didn’t detract from the experience, but it was impactful in a way that may be hard for folks still dealing with the impact of their own trauma.
I also want to note that I found the mother’s story (especially her childhood backstory) to be incredibly compelling. As someone who can relate firsthand to her (albeit fictional) experiences (having had an incredibly sad and trauma filled childhood myself), I found the way the author conveyed the impact of trauma on the mother’s personality, work ethic, and parental style to be incredibly relatable. I found myself taking notes and saying “I need to have my therapist read this book” more than once. I also found myself saying “shit… I get how she feels about her relationship with her daughter” multiple times. Excellent all around. It’s a quick enough listen - what do you have to lose!? Excited for more from this author and this voice cast!

Uneven narration - skip this one
Cassandra Campbell is always good and performs Katrina well. The problem is with the narrator performing Cleo. She is terrible. Her narration nearly ruins the listen. Same last name… related? The book wasn’t as enjoyable as it should have been and I wish I hadn’t used a credit on it.

Good thriller
There were two (related?) narrators - the older was excellent, the younger was not. When the younger spoke the voice was the exact same for every single character, so much so that I struggled to follow at times. If the book wasn’t as gripping as it was, though it did move a bit slow at times- I would’ve DNF because of the narrator which took away from the story
