In true Liv Constantine fashion, the Next Mrs. Parrish is an absolute page-turner. This story pickes up about a year after the Last Mrs. Parrish ends. Similar to The Last Mrs Parrish, the Next Mrs. Parrish is full of twists, turns, and secrets that will keep the reader going until the very last page.

I didn't like this one as much as everyone else. I loved the first book, but this one seemed way too over the top for me, and Daphne's storyline gave me way too much anxiety to enjoy my reading experience.

I'm not sure I really needed a book two featuring these characters. I will admit that I didn't read The First Shot which is a prequel featuring Amber's past, and I probably should have because it sets up the background for this installment. However, I think enough information is given, so if you missed it like I did then you'll get the gist. You do need to read The Last Mrs. Parrish, because otherwise you'll be quite lost.

This book reads like a soap opera. The drama is incredibly over the top and you have to suspend disbelief to read the entire thing. Daphne is the only character I liked, but even she made some stupid decisions. Based on her past experiences with Jackson, I didn't expect her to be so naive to his scheming. And Tallulah was just a full on brat, let me tell you, if my ex husband was such a horrific person that he locked me in a mental institution against my will, I don't think I'd be keeping it a secret from my bratty child.

There were also some awkward time jumps that jarred me from the narrative, and things that these "crafty" characters should have seen coming from a mile away.

That said, this book is definitely soapy rich people drama and if you like that kind of thing you'll love this book. If you read it for what it is and don't expect too much, you'll be satisfied.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I read the first book in the series in 2017 so I wanted to read the prequel and then re-read "The Last Mrs. Parrish" before I started this one because I couldn't remember all the details. There were recaps and nods to the original throughout the book so you could have read this as a standalone, but I think it really helped reading the other two books first to fully understand what was happening in this one and the extent of the relationships.

What I really loved about this one was that Daisy Ann (from the prequel) was a character that had a role in this book. It really added so much to the storyline. No spoilers, but the ending was perfection!!!!

Definitely worth the read :)

I was so excited when I learned there would be a sequel in the Mrs. Parrish series. It was worth the wait. I read it in 24 hours because it was so good. I don’t want to give anything away to those that haven’t read, but this is a book where you can’t easily guess the ending. Netflix or AppleTV make this into a series.

THE NEXT MRS PARRISH was a huge improvement from THE LAST MRS PARRISH. The first book didn’t quit hit for me so I was pretty apprehensive going into the sequel. If you go into these books knowing that almost everyone will be insufferable….. you’ll enjoy them a LOT more. i loved the multiple POVs in this book because they are all connected and everyone’s secrets and motives all tie together. this book is messy, messy, MESSY but it makes for a perfect poolside binge for summer.

Amber Patterson Parrish has come a long way. Hard work and immaculate planning turned her from invisible wallflower to prominent socialite, though there have been bumps along the way. Less than a year after her husband Jackson’s tax-evasion scandal, Amber reigns supreme over the Bishops Harbor community. But with Jackson being released from prison, Amber’s free time—and money—is vanishing.

Meanwhile, Daphne Parrish left Bishops Harbor after her divorce from Jackson, swearing she would never go back. But when one of her daughters runs away from home, desperate to see her father, Daphne agrees to return for the summer for their daughters’ sake. Jackson swears he’s a changed man, but Daphne knows all too well that he can’t be trusted.

When a ghost from Amber’s past emerges looking for revenge, these three figures find unlikely allies in one another. But who is playing who? When all is said and done, they’ll have to fight tooth and nail for everything they have left in this zero-sum game.

I loved this book. It was amazing the schemes the rich folks came up with to get what they wanted. I loved Ambers determination but loved Daphne and what she was willing to do for the sake of her kids.

It was a good read. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to reads early version!!

I enjoyed this one just fine. It moved along, was not a deep think and would make a good vacation read.

The Next Mrs. Parrish had more twists and turns than a country road. This is a must-read from Liv Constantine.

I am failing to understand why this book needed to be written. The allure of the first Mrs. Parrish book is that it was the first of it's kind. The psychological aspect of the husband being one way in public and one way behind closed doors was so new at the time it was written. However, once it's been explained, though, the story needs to be over. Daphne going back really made no sense from an adult stand point. It's unbelievable. The games Jackson played were not that different from the first go round, and then the "escape" was rushed. Everything wrapped up with a pretty bow. Lots of "twists" that needed to be explained because they were so out there....I am also not convinced this was written by the same authors that wrote the first two. Their quality of work is decreasing with each subsequent published book. I think this is where I part ways.

Amber and Daphne Parrish are back! When Jackson is released from prison, no one is safe. Add in someone from Amber's past looking for revenge, you have a page-turning book you will not be able to put down! What a beautiful cover, kudos to the artist!

This is the sequel to the Last Mrs. Parrish and this book pick up where it left off. Amber and Jackson Parrish are back and just as despicable as ever. The former Mrs. Parrish Daphne has moved with her daughters to California and is trying to start a new life far from Bishops Harbor. Her oldest daughter Tallulah is missing her father and willing to do anything to be with him again, forcing Daphne to move the girls back to Bishops Harbor to be closer to their father. Has Jackson really changed and deserves a second chance with his family?

As much as I hated Jackson and Amber in the first book, I love the introduction of new character named Daisy Ann. Daisy Ann is a smart, strong, spunky, take no shit woman seeking vengeance for her father's death. As Daisy Ann and Daphne's paths cross will they both get the retribution they deserve?

I wasn't sure what direction the second book would take and almost didn't read it, but I am glad I did. The author does an excellent job of tying up loose ends and giving the readers closure.

I wasn't sure that The Next Mrs. Parrish, but I was wrong. This one may even be better. The final twist was a doozy!! I highly recommend!!

Well this one took me no time at all to finish, just like the first. Another one of Liz Constantine’s books that did not disappoint and that I did not want to put down!

A story full of allies + betrayal. If you enjoyed The First Mrs Parrish, please do read the sequel, The Next Mrs. Parrish. Personally, I just couldn't get into it, it wasn't for me. I

After reading the first book I was excited to see the Parrishes were back! Despite not liking any of the characters in the first book, I picked this one up hoping someone would get some justice. I honestly enjoyed this one more than the first! It was much more fast paced and had several twist I did not see coming. While I think this could be read as a stand alone, reading it second gives more context to the characters and why they act the way they do. Thank you net galley for the ARC.

I absolutely loved this follow-up to The Last Mrs. Parish. Liv Constantine is a dynamic author duo and always find a way to craft an addictive story. The Next Mrs. Parrish was filled with suspense and so many unlikeable characters (ahem Amber & Mr. Parrish). The ending did leave me craving more though! After reading both books I’d love to read a book explicitly about Mr. Parrish, maybe a prequel to examine his life and what lead him to be so controlling. I will be recommending this to family and friends!

Wow, wow!! This sequel to The Next Mrs. Parrish is incredible!!! I was so excited to see this book and to receive an advanced reader copy. The story of Jackson, Daphne, and Amber continues with the addition of Daisy Ann, a delightful, smart woman whose life crosses with Amber’s. Filled with excitement, intrigue and shock, Liv Constantine wrote an excellent sequel that made me want to jump into the pages and scream and yell at what was happening! This is a definite must read, especially if you have read The Next Mrs. Parrish.
Thank you to Random House publishing- Ballentine for an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest opinion. Don’t miss this read!

I think I liked this book better than the first Mrs. Parrish which is high praise! The twists and turns were exciting and made it so I could not put the book down. This will be a great summer thriller for anyone looking for a beach or pool read. I also didn't remember much about the first one (other than the fact that I liked it) and that did not matter. I was brought back up to speed pretty quickly.

This is my first book from the author. I looked online to get a small recap of the previous book but after I started reading that is not really needed as the authors give background from the first book in this book as well. Lots of twists and turns that I didn’t see coming made this book enjoyable. It had me laughing and shocked all at the same time. Overall, I would read more from this author in the future.

I actually squealed when I saw that NetGalley had approved me for an ARC of this book. I loved the original so I anxiously anticipated this one. It did not disappoint. Daphne had escaped Jackson’s clutches but returns to the evil and twisted world of Amber and Jackson. We meet a new character, Daisy Ann, who is sensational. Backstabbing, lies, deceitful plans, and lots of bad guys will keep you turning this pages! 5 stars!
