Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight is a suspense novel. Cleo and her mother, Katrina, don’t have the best relationship. But when Cleo arrives home for a dinner with her mom to find dinner burning and nothing but her mom’s bloody shoe, Cleo will do anything to find her. 

There’s a lot going on in this book. Multiple timelines. Seemingly unrelated topics. Characters thrown in with no introductions but you’re somehow supposed to know who they are. Unlikeable characters. The author also liked to go on long winded tangents that I found confusing. I went into it feeling like the blurb already told me the entire plot, and it honestly does (at least, more than I would like), but the suspense, I guess, is determining the who and the why. The bad of this book almost outweighed the good for me, and overall, it was only ok.
