The Review.

I have a long-sorted past with Kimberly. She wrote a revolutionary book in 2015 called WHERE THEY FOUND HER. It was unlike anything I had read before that. A combination of biting commentary and a shocking storyline, I was immediately a fan. Since then, I haven’t had much luck with her books until LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER. There is an immediate honesty to the writing. It’s confessional-like. Like people are spilling their insincerities and indiscretions unfiltered and without the benefit of shame or knowing better to save face. It’s not about your fake online persona or the person you play at work. It’s about who you are when you think no one is looking, no one cares, and no one is watching. But of course, someone always is. Thanks to Netgalley, Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor | Knopf for the advanced copy! LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER…⭐⭐⭐
