No One Needs to Know by Lindsay Cameron, part Thriller and part Women’s Fiction. It’s a roller coaster ride you may not want to get off of.
Imagine mixing a Hitchcock film, a dash of “Office Space” humor, and a sprinkle of reality TV drama, all compacted into a 300-page book.
In a “Big Little Lies” meets “Gossip Girl” style, the author masterfully crafts a narrative that is as engaging as it is unpredictable, keeping you on the edge of your seat as the story unfolds.
This novel has the remarkable ability to merge everyday life with an undercurrent of unease. The characters are flawed and human, making them very relatable, which makes their secretive actions all the more chilling. You’re left wondering who amongst your own neighbors could have ghastly secrets tucked away behind their charming smiles.
This may not be my favorite novel of the year, but it definitely kept my attention and had me flipping pages faster than a New York Minute. So, if you’re the type of person who truly needs to know, this might just be the book for you.
What’s it about?
The story revolves around a seemingly picture-perfect neighborhood nestled in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. However, beneath the façade of glitz and glamour lies a trove of hidden secrets, poised to unravel like a ball of disasterly tangled yarn when the anonymous discussion board, Urban Myth gets hacked.
On this platform, residents of Manhattan’s exclusive Upper East Side revealed their deepest secrets, things they would never share with friends or family: clandestine bank accounts, scandalous affairs, and tantalizing gossip. These are the same individuals who, as parents, went to extraordinary lengths to secure their children’s admission into the most esteemed boarding schools and universities.
When the forum’s security is breached and the true identities of each contributor are identified, the consequences reverberate through the small community with a murderous magnitude.
This twisty plot will raise your eyebows to all new heights and have you second guessing every character you meet. In short, no one really needs to know how good this book is, but it would be a crime not to share it!

Cameron’s clever storytelling and knack for building tension, draws you in, making it hard to put the book down. She keeps you guessing until the very end, and her wittiness makes it all the more enjoyable.
