Narrator Rating: 3.75 stars
My biggest complaint is that the two narrators' voices were too similar. I'm so glad that the character names were at the start of the chapter and on the chapter names.
The ending surprised me in a great way. It wasn't what I expected, and I liked the women banding together. I rarely don't see who it coming but this one I didn't.
It's a terrific book with plenty of social commentary. Overall, it was very enjoyable. And I get why the cast wasn't diverse, that social set doesn't have a lot of diversity in it.

Poppy, Norah, and Heather are all wealthy moms on the Upper East Side. They’ll do anything to get their eighth graders accepted into elite schools, however, when the anonymous confession site UrbanMyth gets hacked, all of the secrets of the UES elite are exposed, and everyone’s a suspect when one of their own winds up dead.
NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW by Lindsay Cameron was such a fun read! I love reading about messy rich moms and this book delivered that and more.
We alternate among the perspectives of three moms, Poppy, Norah,and Heather, with each of their POVs hinting at secrets that they’re hiding. These points of view are intercut with posts from the anonymous site UrbanMyth (LOVED THE TEA HERE!), and emails with a detective from the local precinct, which made it so easy for this book to be binged!
There was just the right amount of tension, and this one has me excited to finally pick up Cameron’s previous book JUST ONE LOOK!
Big Little Lies and Gossip Girl fans rejoice! This one is for you!
Huge thanks to NetGalley, Random House Ballantine, and Bantam for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
