Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight

3.0

Thank you to the publisher for a netgalley. 

I enjoyed the overall MAIN premise of this book. However, i felt the plot was a bit much. We go back 8 days before Kat disappeared, while following her daughter Cleo in the present. 

For some reason we get therapist notes for Cleo, which to me added absolutely nothing to the story. Cleo was hard to deal with overall. For a girl in her early adulthood, she is like a petulant child who is never happy with anything at all. 

I found Kat's story to be more interesting, even though again, the journal entries did not add anything to the story. Esp because we were already getting Kat's inner monologue. The journal entries could have been without if the inner monologue just dived a little deeper when she got the threatening texts. 

I liked this book, but just fell a little short in the plot layout for me.
