Like Mother, Like Daughter [Large Print]

In "Like Mother Like Daughter" by Kimberly McCreight, the narrative centers on Cleo, an NYU student, and her mother, Katrina. The plot unfolds when Cleo discovers blood and an abandoned shoe at home, initiating a dual-perspective mystery. While the storytelling expertly weaves between past and present, occasionally, the transitions felt somewhat jolting. McCreight's writing is skillful, capturing the intricate dynamics of the mother-daughter relationship with depth. However, the overall experience could have been enhanced with more editorial cutting, addressing the book's extended length for a more concise and impactful storytelling. The novel navigates the complexities of familial connections, showcasing McCreight's prowess as a writer, albeit with room for refining the pacing. 3.5/5 stars
