The Last Mrs. Parrish audiobook

My reviews can also be seen at: https://deesradreadsandreviews.wordpr...4.5 Stars!! I’ve had a lucky streak of great books lately and I’m happy to say that this was another terrific read. “The Last Mrs. Parrish” was a very compelling psychological suspense novel. “Some women get everything. Some women get everything they deserve” Amber Patterson detests the rich and privileged women she sees at the gym, yet she would give anything to be one of them. She is tired of being poor – of feeling unimportant, and invisible. But Amber has a plan to change her life and it starts with...Daphne Parrish.Daphne has it all....and Amber wants it.Daphne feels like she finally has a friend who can really understand the loss she suffered. Amber offers to help out with a foundation that Daphne runs and she’s thrilled to have Amber’s help. Some of the other women aren’t so sure about Amber, but Daphne ignores their warnings as she grows even closer to Amber. But she has no idea what Amber is up too.Spending holidays and even taking trips with the family, Amber has done her research and feels like things are going perfectly. However, she may have charmed Daphne but there’s still Jackson to win over. “Daphne had been easy pickings, but Jackson was going to be a different matter entirely. He was going to require all of Amber’s cunning and ingenuity.” Amber is positive that she’s finally going to have it all. SHE was going to be the one everyone looked at and admired. She was going to win this time.But we don’t always see what people are thinking behind their big smiles and we don’t always know what goes on behind closed doors. And Amber’s past is full of things she doesn’t want anyone to find out.Will her secrets get out and ruin her big plans? Will she finally get what she deserves?The book is broken up into three parts. Part one is from Amber’s perspective. We learn about her plan to infiltrate the Parrish’s world. Part two is Daphne’s point of view. Part three was the best of all. Both perspectives come together leading up to a thrilling and very satisfying conclusion.Although there were a few things that seemed a bit over the top, I didn’t really dwell on it as the story was so interesting. There was also a bit of repetition in part two. However, I think it was probably necessary in order to see Daphne’s view and get the full effect of what was going on.I really enjoyed this novel. Amber was the perfect villain, someone readers will love to hate. Manipulative and calculating, you never knew what she was going to do next. Jackson Parrish, the high-powered real estate tycoon with the world at his fingertips. And then we have the beautiful and kind, Daphne Parrish, loving wife and mother.I had a bit of an idea of what might be going on early on. But it may have been written that way intentionally. At any rate, it really didn’t interfere with my enjoyment of the story as I was curious to see if I was right and if I wasn’t, I was still excited to see where the story was going to go.And the story didn’t let me down. There were plenty of twists that I did not see coming. I was completely absorbed in the story and found it hard to put down. This book was a bit longer than most suspense novels at almost 400 pages. But I didn’t feel like it was too much, it felt just right.“The Last Mrs. Parrish” was an engrossing and addictive read, with a great plot and well-developed, diabolical characters. This really was a very impressive debut novel. A delicious story of jealousy, betrayal, and revenge.The author Liv Constantine is actually the pen name of two sisters, Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine. Lynne and Valerie wrote this novel while living in different states, using both Skype and email. I’m excited to see what they come up with next!Thank you HarperCollins for providing an advanced readers copy of this book for me to read in exchange for my honest review.

This is a fantastic book with only three characters. Husband, wife, and home-wrecker. It’s no spoiler to tell you that Amber Patterson is the home wrecker and a self-avowed woman on a mission. Motivated mostly by her wish to be tremendously wealthy, Amber is determined to OUTRIGHT steal Jackson Parrish away from his sweet, beautiful wife, Daphne. What ensues is unbelievably fun to read about. Deliciously wicked.First, what I love about this book:The story is entertaining and addictive! I couldn’t put it down.The writing is effortless, easy and flows at a naturally fast pace.The structure of the book is perfect. The first third is Amber’s POV, the second is Daphne’s and the third part is a bit of a combination conclusion. (I enjoyed Daphne’s section so much more than Amber’s!)And, the best part, THE LAST MRS. PARRISH has one of the most satisfying endings to a story I’ve read in a long time!What I don’t like:This book is too long. Even though it reads fast for a 400 page book, there is too much fat. Where are those editors when you need one? For the first half of the book, we get an up close, continuous description of how the “one percent” lives and that starts to get tiring.Ok, we get it, Jackson Parrish is super duper rich and buys very expensive clothes, shoes, and jewelry for Mrs. Parrish. If you’re into designer brand names, etc. you will enjoy reading about the trappings and joys of wealth. And that’s not a bad thing! But, if you tire of this part, persevere until the second half where the plot really picks up.Aside from not really feeling a connection to the characters, there is also not any suspense in this book. There is a mild twist, but you will probably not be that surprised.All of these negatives are only because my expectations were that this would be a “twisted, psychological thriller”. I mean, it says it right there on the book jacket.It’s my opinion that this book is mis-categorized. I would call it women’s fiction (I hate “chick-lit”). It is VERY light on the psychological suspense and there is not a thriller vibe or shocking mystery to solve.Overall, this is a very fun book to read, most people will love it and I’m betting it is going to be very popular.The strange thing is….it is almost the exact same plot line from THE WIFE BETWEEN US by Greer Hendricks, which is the book I read just before this one. Caaaarazzzzy.In contrast, THE WIFE BETWEEN US is a much darker, tighter, twisted story and I did give it all the stars. That book doesn’t come out until January 2018. I will post a review on http://www.booksbejeweled.com closer to publication.THE LAST MRS. PARRISH is scheduled for US publication today, October 17. It has a gorgeous cover and I want to thank the lovely Chelsea Humphrey from http://www.thesuspenseisthrillingme.com for gifting it to me as part of a giveaway.Available TODAY on sale at Amazon The Last Mrs. Parrish: A Novel

4.5 superb stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟.5 WOW! What a fun ride that was! The only reason this book is not getting the full five stars is it was a bit slow to start.... but once it hit about 40% WOWZA things went sideways.... and I loved it!I just read and reviewed The Wife Between Us and really enjoyed it.... however it is very similar to this book.... so I can’t help but compare and I’d have to say I enjoyed this book more..... and the reason for this is I adored and hated these characters so much....Amber was the perfect girl you had to hate.... although I have to admit up until that first Twist I was rooting for her a tiny bit (don’t judge…😉) then we have Daphne... I can’t even tell you how I feel about Daphne because that would ruin things, but such a well developed character my feelings for her were all over the place throughout this book (I so much want to say something right now but I can’t🤫🤭)Ugh! I am so jealous of you who have not already read this... you have such a wonderful treat ahead of you..... so just pick this book up sit back relax and enjoy the crazy ride! And keep in mind good things come to those who wait..... Think of the beginning of this book as that huge hill you go up on a roller coaster before things start going sideways and crazy.... it isn’t necessarily the best part of the ride, but it’s necessary to get you to that place where things go wild!PS:And for those of you who have read this already that ending! Perfection🐢

I devoured this entire book over a lazy Sunday. It is extremely addictive. The writing flows beautifully, and the story grabs you and won't let go. I was dying to know exactly how this craziness would end, but now I'm kind of disappointed that it's over! I'm already planning on encouraging friends to give it a read so we can discuss it. It's pure scandalous fun. Amber Patterson isn't happy with her life. She's moved up in her job, but can still only afford a small apartment in a good area. She can't buy herself the luxurious things that she wants... the things that will undoubtedly make life better. That's why she has a plan... and her plan involves the unlucky Daphne and Jackson Parrish. Earn the trust of the wife, become a fixture in her inner circle, and then take her husband. Rich enough to buy anything Amber's little heart desires and movie-star handsome, he's an obvious choice. Eager to become indispensable to Daphne, she stacks up lie after lie about her past in order to make her think they have a kinship. As she becomes closer and closer to Daphne, she starts to become a bit disheartened by her relationship with her husband. They seem happy... and most importantly, Jackson only seems to have eyes for his beautiful wife. However, Amber is just not the type that gives up easily. She's in it for the long game... those designer clothes, that private plane, those dream vacations... but not necessarily his two children.Over the day I read this book, I was obsessed with it. I loved reading about the crazy amount of wealth the Parrishes have, Amber's manipulation, the relationship between husband and wife, and even laughing over the antics of the two little girls. The perspective shift in part two really added something extra to the book. I thought I would get bored rehashing certain things from a different point of view, but it was actually fascinating. I'm giving this one 4.5 "couldn't put it down" stars.".

The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine is a 2017 Harperluxe publication. Slick, shrewd, and wickedly devious-Daphne meets Amber at the gym, where they discover they share a terrible tragedy in common- the death of a beloved sister due to Cystic Fibrosis. The women, though from very different worlds, form a close bond. Before long, Amber has become Daphne’s confidante, while also working for her CF foundation, and even helps Mr. Parrish went he needs an assistant. But, Amber has plans, big plans, and in order to achieve her goals, she will walk over and step on anyone in her path- even Daphne-This story was chilling, clever, and sinfully entertaining. Amber gets to set the pace in the first half of the book as she describes her cunning, and very manipulative nature. She’s not the timid, sweet, impressionable woman she appears to be. Once she has clued us in on her diabolic plans, and once she has seemingly gotten what she came for, the story shifts gears, and Daphne takes control of the wheel. It’s at this point, things really get interesting-There are many breadcrumbs left on the trail, and if you follow them you probably won’t be all that surprised when you learn all that glitters, isn’t gold. But, that’s only part of the picture. Those who appear naïve, those appear in control, those who seem like innocent bystanders may not be as naïve, innocent or as in control as they appear. By the time we get to the last section in the book, that old phrase about ‘what goes around comes around' came to mind, along with a few other books or movies in which the tables are turned in spectacular fashion, and revenge is carried out with carefully constructed scheming. The book is not too big on shock and awe, instead opting for a stylish noir type atmosphere, which is more understated than many novels that land in this sub-genre, but it gets the job done, just the same, without going off the rails with unnecessary plot twists. The characters were not overly developed, as we only see them in certain contexts, with was key to the story, nor did they evoke deep feelings or emotions, other than disdain or dislike, but by the time all is said and done, I had an enormous amount of respect for some of them.What makes the novel work is the careful arrangement and pacing. The twists weren’t really all that surprising, but they are still delectable and immensely entertaining. The story is a bit of a cautionary tale, a warning to beware of what appears on the surface, to never judge a book by its cover, or blindly trust people. But, it was also a story of escape and empowerment- albeit, one with an unconventional approach, as well as a tale of retribution- which was the most satisfying part of this enjoyable parable. Overall, this is an impressive debut novel, and I look forward to seeing what else these talented sisters will entertain us with in the future.

5 Stars. Jolly Good!Amber Patterson has never been satisfied with the life she has. She is poor and seemingly mousy. She has always wanted more for herself - including money and power and she will have it. Daphne Parrish is beautiful, rich and sophisticated. She is kind, caring and the mother of two young girls who she would do anything for. Daphne is married to handsome, successful Jackson Parrish. Amber is beyond envious - they have the life that she wants and she has as plan. Daphne is friendly, helpful and unassuming. Little does she know. Will Amber get what she wants? If she does, where does that leave Daphne? Oh the wicked web they weave!This novel starts as a slow burn suspense novel that takes off around the mid point. It is also a study of these characters who are truly stunning. These characters make you FEEL, they make your stomach feel like it is going to BURST WIDE OPEN. I want to say more about them but I just cannot - I will not. You must READ this. What else can I say - well, the ending? Just BAM! FRAKKING AWESOME!!So this was a Traveling Sister Read. It included: Brenda, Kaceey, Lindsay, Jan B., Nikki, Marialyce and Berit. I so loved reading this with my sisters - we had a great time together. “The Last Mrs. Parrish” was one of my favorite thrillers of 2018! I absolutely loved it! (Can’t you tell? Ha!).For Full Traveling Sister Group Reviews, please see Brenda and Norma’s Amazing Blog: https://twogirlslostinacouleereading....Published on Goodreads, Amazon and Twitter on 1.28.18.

This is an excellent psychological thriller featuring an unlikable character named Amber Patterson. She has weaved a plan to introduced herself into the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Parrish, a wealthy couple living in Connecticut, and, hopefully, remove the current Mrs. Parrish from the picture so that she can take her place. We take a journey with Amber and watch her execute her plan carefully. How does it end? You need to read the book to find out. The novel takes place in Connecticut and NYC and is narrated in alternating points of view. Overall, I enjoyed this book and found it engaging, interesting, and fast-paced. The book reminded me of Best Day Ever and Genuine Fraud which were both books I loved.Overall, I highly recommend this book to readers of thrillers and contemporary fiction.

This was a 5 star read for me for the first half of the book in terms of sheer entertainment. But then the book veers into some disturbing territory that just didn't make the book as fun to read anymore. That's not to say the story failed to hold my interest, just I liked it more when it was more of a love to hate feeling towards a character rather than flat out hatred. Amber Patterson wants wealth and privilege and she's willing to do anything to get it. She befriends Daphne, a socialite and philanthropist, and sets her sights on her target, Daphne's husband, Jackson. But no matter how carefully you plan, there's always a chance something could go horribly wrong.I think fairly early on you can decide if Amber is a character that is going to work for you or not. I personally enjoyed it as she plotted and schemed but that might not be everyone's cup of tea. The story does eventually shift gears a bit and when it happens I wasn't all that surprised but I wasn't really expecting so much dark and disturbing content and at times I had an uncomfortable type feeling when reading. I didn't care for some of the actions of a particular character in the last few chapters as I didn't think they were in the character's best interest when it comes down to it. It felt like the author (actually authors since it was co-written by two people) wanted an overly dramatic ending rather than having the character make logical decisions.Overall, this was a good page turner even if parts of the story weren't completely satisfying. I would definitely read another novel by Liv Constantine.

The Last Mrs. Parrish, Liv ConstantineLiv Constantine is the pen name of sisters Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine. In The Last Mrs. Parrish, Amber Patterson is fed up. She’s tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted. To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne (a socialite and philanthropist) and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale. تاریخ نخستین خوانش روز هجدهم ماه می سال2022میلادیعنوان: آخرین خانم پریش؛ نویسندگان: لیو (لین و والری) کانستنتین؛ تهران، نشر جنگل جاودانه، سال2019میلادی، در400ص؛ افست از روی چاپ نیویورک، سال2017میلادی؛ موضوع داستانهای نویسندگان ایالات متحده آمریکا - سده21مامبر پترسون از هیچکس بودن خسته شده است و ...؛ «امبر پترسون» هدفش بدست آوردن مردی دارای احترام، برای بدل شدن به شخصیتی در بالاترین محافل نخبگان تجاری هست؛ هدف ایشان نامش «جکسون پریش» است، اما «جکسون» با یک زن بلوند و زرق و برقدار ازدواج کرده، و به ترک همسرش هرگزی نمیاندیشد؛ «جکسون» و «دافنه» یک خانه ی باشکوه، و دو دختر بیهمانند دارند و عاشق همدیگر هستند؛ «امبر» با «دافنه» دوست میشود، و به آهستگی به «جکسون» نزدیکتر میشود و ...؛ تاریخ بهنگام رسانی 29/02/1401هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی

Library Overdrive Audiobook....read by Suzanne Elise Freeman, and Meg WolfThis is another one of those psychological novels - that I was ‘sorta’ aware of for about a year. I even bought a Kindle-download for $1.99 one day on a daily deal. But honest to God - all I remembered about the book was seeing mixed ratings ....From 1 star to 5 stars. I couldn’t have told you anything about what this book was going to be about though. I simply pushed my finger on my iPhone app to download this library audiobook…and started listening. I would have been happy to send it right back if I didn’t like it. But for me.... this *COMIC-THRILLER* was a kick-of-trashy-sleazy-FUN!Paul got sucked in too ....He listened to A LOT of this audiobook ( sure he missed some parts - but I filled him in). We listened while in the yard: me soaking in the pool - he dabbling with his scissor-cutters in the garden near by. Listening to an Audiobook like this with a buddy is SERIOUSLY DOUBLE THE PLEASURE.Paul and I both laughed and laughed - making jokes - taking stabs at the most dislikable characters on the planet. ( well maybe not the entire planet - but definitely not likable on ‘any’ planet). We were not only cracking up at the ‘con-ARTISTIC-conniving’ characters .....but some of the most atrocious dialogue - words chosen - vile sentences - had Paul and I laughing our tushes off. Can you imagine being called a “FRUMPY MOUSE?”How about....”YOU’RE GETTING FAT, YOU LAZY BITCH”....Or....“YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A WITHERED UP OLD PRUNE”. SO....SURE....I CAN UNDERSTAND PEOPLE HATING THIS NOVEL....HONEST...I can.But....I’m not one of them.....I REALLY HAD A BLAST PLAYING WITH THIS VERY ADDICTIVE AUDIOBOOK.... 5 full stars for PURE GUILTY PLEASURE.....from me.... ......perhaps a little lower rating from Paul — but he laughed. He thought it was clever - (movie material). It REALLY IS EXTRA-ENJOYABLE to enjoy a book or AUDIOBOOK ‘with’ a buddy in the same room as we did during dinner prep together last night ....cutting our zucchini- yellow squash -broccoli - garlic and onions in the kitchen to mix with pasta. Yummy foods and naughty ( not THAT type of naughty- but maybe that too), book listening actually go quite well together. 📘🥦🎧Loved it..... sue me for bad taste if you want! 🧡

** spoiler alert ** Purchased this book because I saw that Reese Witherspoon’s book club read it. This is an honest review for this book, with no one telling me what to write. This book was not free to me.You are reading this review of your own free will. There may be some spoilers in this review/the spoiler button was switched.Part I: Amber Part II: DaphnePart III: Not Named?Characters:Amber- main character Daphne- main character Jackson- Daphne’s rich husbandBella- Daphne and Jackson’s daughter Tallulah- Daphne and Jackson’s daughter Mrs. Battley- Jackson’s head secretary (resigned)Gregg- Ambers ‘boyfriend’About the author:Writing style is greatThrows in large words, why?Chapters are choppy, they jump forward weeks and it’s a little confusing. Part I: AmberAmber is extremely sly and motivated to get in with the high society of New York. She ‘meets’ Daphne quite by accident at the gym when she drops a magazine for Cystic Fibrosis, which Amber knew Daphne’s sister had (she had passed). Amber then began making up this entire story on how she too had a sister who passed from it and how she volunteers on all these committees for it. Since this was Daphne’s soft spot, she and Amber became FAST friends, best friends even! This had Amber and Daphne hanging out together all of the time. Daphne invited Amber to all of the family get togethers and even to Holiday’s. Daphne said that she feels as though Amber is like the sister she lost and that she felt so close to her. Amber told Daphne that she had been through so much in her life (most being made up); which made Daphne feel terrible for Amber and want to help her with everything. Amber also did not have the same dispensable money as The Parrish’s, so Daphne did a lot to help Amber financially as well. Amber told Daphne that her boss touched her inappropriately, this in fact did not happen. She also said she had gotten fired and black mailed from her job, this also did not happen. Daphne then got her to job at Jackson International. Amber then worked under Mrs. Battley (Jackson’s head secretary) who was teaching her and having her work on items that she needed help with. Amber then began spiking her morning coffee with depression medication, which made Battley confused and forgetful. Amber used this to her advantage and began moving things around on her desk and messing with her, she moved her keys and put them in the trash can to give Battley evidence that she was not acting normally. Shortly (3 months later) Mrs. Battley resigned by handing in her letter to Jackson. Amber was then working in this position until Jackson found someone. Amber did additional work on her own time with one of Jackson’s new clients by getting to know the file and knowing everything about the client for Jackson. This impressed Jackson and made his luncheon with them easier, since he knew more information on them going into the lunch. Jackson was able to close the deal with this new client and was so impressed with how Amber handled the account he asked Amber to move into Battley’s old office to make them working together easier. (Until the replacement was found),of course. Amber FINALLY gets Jackson on her side and in her bed, which was her plan alllll along. Amber had began to pin Daphne and Jackson against each other so they begin to question their wonderful marriage and neither of them tell on Amber because they each think she is on their side. Daphne sets up with Gregg, who Amber doesn’t like at all (he’s no Jackson, but he does have money). Amber keeps him around though to make Jackson jealous and to hopefully move things along faster. Gregg doesn’t know anything about this, but he also wants to move forward with Amber. Amber keeps giving Gregg excuses as to why they aren’t able to sleep together, but the real reason is because shes with Jackson and doesn’t want to be with Gregg at all. As long as Daphne knew Gregg was still around, she wouldn’t question Amber about Jackson acting different. Amber also met Gregg and is keeping him around to appease Daphne and to ensure Daphne doesn’t begin to ask questions. Jackson is beginning to have trouble juggling Daphne and Amber. Daphne seems to be starting to catch on to Jackson having an affair and Amber has to keep talking her down. Jackson doesn’t want to see Amber with other men, but he’s still with Daphne, or is he? Amber trapped Jackson by lying to him on several occasions to get him to leave Daphne. It looks like everything is falling right into Ambers deceitful lap.Part II: DaphneThis part is the story starting from the very beginning of when Jackson and Daphne meet. They worked together, which isn’t really too shocking after seeing how he got with Amber.Jackson Daphne’s entire family fooled into thinking he was a great and wonderful man. Well, he threw his money around people who had very little and impressed the best of them. Jackson is nothing like the person he originally portrayed himself to be. He’s mean, revengeful, cunning, vindictive, conniving, and not someone I would enjoy being married to. He’s scary and abusive, but I think with this being said it was a little predictable. Jackson goes after women who need him, who love him so much they would do anything for him. Well, Daphne saw right through this from the beginning, but not soon enough. I am curious to see how it is going to end with Amber and Daphne, who will get Jackson in the end?Daphne played stupid for some time and Amber nor Jackson even knew! Shocking! Daphne had this entire plan cooked up, but it looks like Jackson will always outsmart or scare her into doing whatever it is he wants her to do.Jackson confronted Daphne with Amber to get exactly what Amber wanted. (More details will come of this when you read the book). Amber gets everything in the end, but Daphne doesn’t get nothing at all. Jackson makes sure that Daphne is also taken care of.Part IIIStarts with Amber leaving Jackson because he was jerking her around. There really isn’t too much to tell about Part III because if I tell you too much, I will give away the entire story! I really enjoyed this book, though. Some of it was extremely predictable and other parts of it shocked the hell out of me! This is definitely a book I would recommend to people, however it is also a book that people need to pay attention to. I hope everyone enjoys the book they are currently reading and feel free to drop a comment in regards to the book and/or my review on it!Thanks for reading 💜💛

The characters in this book are vile, horrid and ghastly, a pleasant reading experience it was not, I was wondering what all the fuss was about for this book, having zero empathy for the main character Amber who plays the perfect villain. It’s not til the second part of the book that I was hooked and started to get it. I did spend a sleepless night tearing through it and the ending was throughly satisfying. I left with a better taste in my mouth than I did going in. 4.5 stars for keeping me up all damn night 😴

Addictive!! This was very, very good!! I was curious because of all the great recommendations this book had, Reese Witherspoon, Lee Child and Karin Slaughter, just to name a few. The hype is real and it’s a debut novel??! A must read.

It's no secret Amber is a conniving, cold, and calculating gold digger out to snare Daphne's super wealthy husband. The first half of the book is devoted to how she goes about accomplishing her goal. I admit my eyes rolled a few times and I grew a little weary of hearing about the Parrish's wealth and conspicuous consumption lifestyle. And then suddenly things got very interesting. I won't go into the plot, because it's better to go in knowing nothing. But it was at this point that I couldn't put the book down until I had finished. There are characters you will love to hate and others you will be rooting for. Secrets and true natures will be revealed. And the ending was perfection that will put a satisfied smile on your face.This isn't a literary masterpiece but for the sheer fun of such an addictive read, it gets 4 stars. So, take off your critical hat, sit back and enjoy the journey. If you’ve been reading some heavy, dense books, I highly recommend this one as a fun palate-cleanser. It’s been compared to a Lifetime movie, and I would agree with that – in a good way. I’m ok with some books just being fun page-turners.This was a Traveling Sister read with Brenda, Kaceey, Lindsay, Susanne, Nikki, Marialyce and Berit.

Amber Patterson is envious of Daphne Parrish who is a rich socialite living in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The two women have never met but Amber develops an obsession with her wonderful lifestyle. Daphne has a rich and handsome husband, two beautiful daughters, full time staff, interesting acquaintances and is president of her own foundation. Amber has few of these attributes and is jealous that someone else gets to live such a great lifestyle. She is fed up with her current environment and decides to make drastic changes. She extensively researches the Parrish family so that she can find a way to befriend them and enter their lives.Amber moves from Missouri to Connecticut and creates a new identity. She helps Daphne with her foundation’s fundraiser and the two ladies become friends. She becomes a fixture at their dinners and they spend their weekends and holidays together. Amber’s plan seems to be working and she starts her scheme to become the new Mrs. Parrish. The story is told from both Amber’s and Daphne’s points of view. The book has many twists and turns as each secret is revealed. It's a fun read that is difficult to put down. This novel was written by a team of sisters (Lynne and Valerie) under the name Liv Constantine.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5!!For me, The Last Mrs. Parrish was a cross between The Wife Between Us (there was even a "nervous Nellie" remark, how random is that?) and The Couple Next Door. I thought this book was fairly predictable, but it was SO good you guys. I didn't read the blurb again before I started reading, and this is a good book to go in without reading it (even though it doesn't give too much of anything away). What a deceitful little creature Amber is... The mix of Amber, Jackson, and Daphne was so perfect and the author had me loving Daphne and reallllly hating Amber. With phrases like "on the blink" an expression I happen to love, but never use, who wouldn't like this book?! Also, I was pleasantly surprised and enthralled that Tallulah was carrying a Nancy Drew book with her. Great expressions and Nancy Drew equals perfection for this girl. And the ending of this book was just so freaking perfect. So much YES, thank you Liv Constantine!!Highly recommend this book. I gave it 4 instead of 5 only because I thought it was a little predictable, but overall it was so so good. Bonus, it’s a fast read. 😉
